Hair of the Dog: Week 5, Houston Texans @ Atlanta Falcons

Well, another fall Sunday has come and gone for Houston. The Houston Texans came into this matchup 2-2 and feeling fairly confident about the chance to pick up their first 3+ game winning streak since 2018; let that sink in, five YEARS since a winning streak of at least three games (the nine-gamer). All they had to do was beat the Atlanta Falcons, a team that was undefeated at home, and coming off a bad road loss against Jacksonville at their London digs. Atlanta featured a potentially devastating ground game with Bijan Robinson, some talent at TE, allegedly, as they never seem to get used, and Desmond Ridder, a 2022 third round QB who, uh, has not played well to date.
