2010 Texans Watch-Texans Beat Down The Tennessee Traitors

Finally!  After four weeks of watching them lose winnable games to the Colts, Chargers, Jaguars and Jets, the Texans found themselves in a must win situation at 4-6 and playing their arch rivals the Tennessee Traitors in a critical AFC South division game.

Yeah, I'm still bitter about the Oilers bouncing to Nashville, and I'm gonna get my hate on for them twice a year.

Ahem, back to the post.

Glover Quin had a career day in picking off three passes and the Texans snapped their four game losing streak by administering a 20-0 beatdown on the Traitors at Reliant Stadium Sunday.   

I do mean literally.   In the fourth quarter emotions boiled over as the Texans were executing a long clock eating march down the field and Andre Johnson got into it with Titans safety Cortland Finnegan.  
.
Andre won the fight but he and Finnegan were tossed from the game.   Both players were also relieved of $25,000 from their wallets today by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell but weren't suspended..

It was also the second shutout in Texans team history, and it couldn't have come at a better time.  
Next up is a Thursday night game with Michael Vick and Philadelphia Eagles before the heavyweight rematch with the Traitors in Nashville.
