Thanks to @HoustonTexans for bringing joy to our wonderful community this fall. There is nothing more rewarding in sports than watching a team play their hearts for their coach and each other. Well done gentlemen. Can’t wait till next season #GoTexans!

I would say the men in Blue represented the “A” on their uniforms and “R” on their helmets quite well, wouldn’t you? Congratulations @RiceFootball and thanks for the grit and passion you displayed on the field tonight. It was a special night #RFND
