What If: 2018 Houston Texans - What if the Franchise’s First Tie Happens Here?

2018 Texans: The season when it was all finally supposed to come together. Watson, after the glorious, but all too brief, flash of brilliance in 2017, would have a full season as the unquestioned starter. Watt and Mercilus, reinforced by Tyron Mathieu and draft pick Justin Reid, would return to strengthen the Texans’ defense. BO’B would not have any real excuses anymore, but he would have everything he needed to get the team over the Divisional Round hump, and to greater glory. The team finished 11-5, their best record under the BO’B regime, armed with a powerful run defense, a resurgent All-Pro Watt and Watson.
