2022 has been a frustrating year for the Houston Texans.
Maybe not so much for Jerry Hughes, who has 8.0 sacks playing for his hometown team. However, the agony of being on a 1-8-1 team that continuously plays patsy to opponents has to be frustrating.
After the Dolphins scored their first touchdown of the game wherein quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Durham Smythe on a scramble drill with 3:06 to go in the first quarter, Hughes was filmed by CBS Sports on the sidelines expressing his displeasure. The 34-year-old kicked off a Gatorade tub in between shouts of anger.
YIKES!! Tua has Texans Defenders on the sideline kicking over water coolers in frustration. It’s only the first quarter! #FinsUp pic.twitter.com/b8Ja2MEt2S

Hughes’ frustration is understandable for every Texans fan who expected the team to at least be better than the 2021 incarnation. However, the Texans appear stuck in a rebuild.
