The Texans have started the season off great with a 4-0 record. They plan on continuing this effort and hard work to get to the Super Bowl this year that will be in New Orleans, Louisiana. Defense also has been wonderful and Matt Schaub has been very health. Texans keep up the good work and make the city of Houston proud !!!!!
