Texans Tragic 2013 Season

The Houston Texans at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season had been picked to be Super Bowl contenders because of their rising talent that was expected to increase, but as the season progressed, they lost 11 games in a row because of many different factors to consider. There have been numerous injuries as well as other countless setbacks that they have had to deal with causing them to go from the championship contenders to the team with the worst record in the entire National Football League. Among these injuries have been two starting players on both sides of the ball, such as Brian Cushing, at Linebacker who had just recovered from a knee injury just to injure the same knee, and Arian Foster, at Running back who also has had his own issues in the past with injuries. Not only has this been a key element in their downfall, but they fired their safety Ed Reed, who was expected to do great things for the defense, but did not deliver. To add to this long list of things that have gone wrong on this season, the 10 year veteran Quarterback Matt Schaub lost all confidence, changing the course of numerous games we should have won by a great deal, and Head Coach Gary Kubiak's collapse at halftime of a recent game causing the players not to perform to the best of their abilities because of the worry for their coaches well being. When anyone looks at how many things that have set the Houston Texans back in their unexpected demise, it is easy for one to see how much they have had to deal with and can not help but feel sympathy for them in all the adversity they have had to face.
