Our reading
The article notes that the Texans have thrown only one interception all season, which is impressive until you realize it’s also the only one they’ve thrown. That’s the kind of statistic that makes you wonder if the league is just waiting for them to finally throw a second one to make the numbers look more balanced.
It’s like the Texans are playing a game where the rules only apply when it’s convenient for the story. One interception is fine, but two would ruin the narrative of a flawless defense. The league must be holding its breath.
And yet, the Giants are still looking for their first road win, which is the kind of detail that makes you think the entire season is just a long, awkward conversation about who’s been to the other team’s stadium.
