The Houston Texans beat the New Orleans Saints 17-13 Sunday night at Caesars Superdome to close out the preseason.
The Texans conclude the exhibition phase with a 2-1 record under new coach DeMeco Ryans. That all gets wiped clean as the Texans turn the page to the regular season.
However, the mood was festive in the Big Easy. The Texans were finally able to celebrate a C.J. Stroud touchdown. The defense came up with two interceptions late in the fourth quarter. Even if it was preseason, the optimism was palpable.
Here are some of the best social media reactions from the Texans’ third preseason game.

Big believer in Nico Collins this season.
He has a real opportunity to BOOM at cost considering the unknown upside of his QB & having already turned in a top 20 target share last season.

Dameon Pierce played 14 straight snaps to open the #Texans' 2nd preseason game.
He played all 9 of C.J. Stroud's snaps tonight.

Greg Olsen is desperately trying to the get TEXANS a good draft pick for Davis Mills. Keep going!!!

Ok all you Davis Mills fans. He's had two seasons of futility no matter how you manipulate numbers. Texans need to cut him. Use Keenum and pickup someone else to be 3rd qb

Erin Andrews asks Dameon Pierce about the Minneapolis Miracle, Pierce says he wasn't born yet since Case Keenum probably did it in 1985 pic.twitter.com/kj1VCjsb2E

DAMEON PIERCE IS DRINKING COFFEE ON THE SIDELINES. I’d say poor guys stomach but he’s doing something right
