The Football Gods giveth, and boy can they taketh away. I was almost bored watching Garoppolo decimate the Dolphins defense and play like a seasoned veteran. That’ll teach me to take great QB play for granted (again). Jacoby Brissett was a player I was excited to see play in the preseason because I liked his skill set and his build. I was hoping he might get a little more prep before his first game action, but the NFL is a fickle beast.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Texans aka “The Only Team that Doesn’t Get their Own Color Rush Uniform”
