There are numerous similarities between the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns.
Despite having a franchise quarterback and a completely redesigned squad, not many experts predicted the Browns would advance to the postseason.
Not many people believed in the Texans either, who won just three games the previous season while playing with a rookie quarterback and head coach.
Despite some significant injuries, they both managed to persevere through the storm and get to this point, emerging as two of the league’s most heartwarming tales this season.
Because of this, Jaime Eardhal of NFL Network finds it quite upsetting that one of these two teams will have to lose on Saturday (via Good Morning Football on Twitter).
The Browns will take on the Texans at NRG Stadium on the road, where they will once again challenge the odds.
One quarterback will be a seasoned veteran who is ready to ride into the sunset like Joe Flacco, someone who was already written off and counted out.
Conversely, C.J. Stroud, one of the most exciting prospects in the game and a possible future MVP, was likewise laughed at and written off before he ever set foot on the football field.
For excellent reasons, Kevin Stefanski and Kevin Stefanski are leading the Coach of the Year competition.
This Texans team has shown that they have a bright future ahead of them; hopefully, the Browns will be able to survive for one more day.
