PODCAST: Texans' Terrible Towel Curse Goes Viral as Cowboys Showdown Becomes Must-Win

The Houston Texans are 0-3, and one of the NFL's strangest superstitions is suddenly following them everywhere. After Toro ripped a Terrible Towel following Houston's playoff win over Pittsburgh, the Texans have now lost four meaningful games in a row, giving Steelers fans plenty of ammunition to revive the infamous "Terrible Towel curse."

On this episode of the Texans Roundtable, Halk breaks down the viral storyline before getting into the real reasons Houston continues to lose. The Texans forced three turnovers against the Indianapolis Colts, held Jonathan Taylor to just 68 rushing yards and took a late fourth-quarter lead, but still walked away with a 19-17 loss.

We dive into C.J. Stroud's inconsistent start, Houston's struggling offensive identity and why Nick Caley may need to put more responsibility in Stroud's hands. Will Anderson Jr. also gets his flowers after another dominant performance, while Nico Collins' possible return could completely change the offense.

Halk also covers the latest injury developments and the biggest concerns facing DeMeco Ryans' team.

Finally, we preview a huge Battle of Texas against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, including CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and the newly acquired Joey Porter Jr.

The Texans may be cursed on social media, but at 0-3, the real issue is much simpler: Houston has to start finishing games before the season gets away from them.
