The Houston Texans’ skid to a 1-8-1 record has not been pretty. They are, without a doubt, the worst team in the NFL, and the product they give fans on the field is legitimately hard to watch. Houston is clearly tanking for draft position, and it’d be hard to blame them for that, but for anyone subjected to watching Texans football, the outlook for the rest of the 2022 season is bleak.
Their current standings don’t seem to be affecting the players themselves much, though. Despite drama after the trade deadline with star receiver Brandin Cooks, the team has mostly maintained a cheery disposition when talking to reporters about their situation. Defensive lineman Maliek Collins was among the Texans who were asked about how the team might be able to better themselves before the season draws to a merciful close and told the media that he and his teammates are hard at work finding solutions to win at least one more game.
