The Houston Texans are 0-4, and it’s clearly weighing on J.J. Watt.
Watt did not mince words after Houston’s 31-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, saying that he would do anything he could to get a win. He also described in stark terms just how brutal the season has been.
“All I can do is control what I can control. I’m going to try to find a way to get a win,” Watt said, via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. “This is terrible. It’s brutal. It’s depressing. This sucks. I don’t know any other way to put it.”
There isn’t really any other way. The Texans didn’t come close in the first two weeks, but have now lost back-to-back one-score games. They’ve now given up 30 points or more on defense in three of their four defeats, and Sunday’s 23 points on offense was actually a season-high. The offense clearly misses DeAndre Hopkins, and the defense has consistently been on its heels.
Right now, the only good news for the Texans is they have a franchise quarterback locked down long-term. They’re going to have to find a way to put talent around him, and they’re failing to do that right now.
