Part 4/6:
Despite their efforts and competitive spirit, the Texans have faced widespread disrespect from pundits and networks alike. Notably, personalities like Nick Wright of FS1 have characterized the Texans as merely a practice squad in their upcoming matchup against the Chiefs, a statement that many perceive as a slight to the team's capabilities.
Furthermore, there are comparisons drawn between the Texans and other teams that have historically struggled to break through in the playoffs. The consensus among several sports analysts is that until the Texans start beating the so-called "big dogs" of the AFC, including the Chiefs and Ravens, their presence in the postseason will continue to be discounted.
