Carlos Narvaez named Gold Glove finalist. How good was he defensively?

Quick Hits: Houston Texans vs Seattle Seahawks

The high of obliterating the hapless Baltimore Ravens 44-10 can only last so long. But hopefully that spark carries on for the next several months. Houston has rarely done well in nationally televised games, going 16-28 according to ChampsorChumps.us. A lot of those loses are due to short weeks, where the team didn’t have enough […]
