Misery Index · Euphoric
Texans fans cackling at the Chiefs' obituary while C.Stroud and a six-game win streak rewrite the season.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Stroud needed eleven seconds to find N.Collins for 57 and a touchdown, and the game never really left Houston's hands after that — a J.Hill-forced fumble on the ensuing kickoff turned the opening sequence into a coronation. Six straight wins, 40 on the board, and a K.Lassiter pick in the end zone to seal any lingering doubt. The fanbase is allowed to enjoy this one; January will bring its own problems.
