The Texans are on a scoring roll.
For the fourth straight week, they eclipsed the 30-point mark, as they rolled to a 33-17 win over the Browns at NRG Stadium.
"Give these players a lot of credit," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "These guys are practicing hard. They're putting the time in in the meeting room. It's a matter of just trying to get better, every single day."
The Texans are 2-2 in that span, and have averaged 39.25 points per game over the last four. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is a huge reason why, as he tossed another three scores on Sunday, to bring his season total up to an NFL-best 15 touchdown passes. His explanation for it all, though, is fairly simple.
"It just starts with the preparation," Watson said. "Coming in Monday and correcting the mistakes from the previous game, and then coming in on our off day on Tuesday and getting on the same page on what the opposing team is trying to do."
Watson spread the ball around against the Browns, as eight different players caught a pass, and seven caught multiple passes. Wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, V each caught a score, as did fellow wideout Braxton Miller. It was the sixth touchdown of the year for Hopkins, who said the beauty of the offensive output lately has been in the distribution.
"Everybody gets touches, especially with (number) 4 back there at quarterback," Hopkins said. "You never know who's going to get the ball."
The Texans had never scored 30-plus points in three straight weeks in a single season before this year. They finished the 2009 campaign with a 34-point output against the Patriots, and then started 2010 with a pair of 30-plus point games against the Colts and at Washington.Â
