The Houston Texans started the 2012 season in odd fashion and it took less than 2:03 of game time in the second quarter and turnovers for the Texans to down the Miami Dolphins. The day was highlighted by the Texans hanging their first banner from the rafters of Reliant. That put a reminder of the magical 2011 season that fans will soon not forget.
It took some time for the Texans to get warmed up and when they did they unleashed fury that resulted in four turnovers and 24 unanswered points in the blink of the eye. The Texans were far from perfect but going 1-0 was the most important outcome of game one of the season. They will have time to work out their issues and improvement is what fans should be looking for week to week.
