The Texans continued to put their 0-3 start way in the rearview mirror on Sunday by beating the Browns 29-13 to improve to 9-3 on the season.That winning streak has put them firmly in control of the AFC South and opened the door to thoughts of a bye in the first round of the playoffs should all the pieces fall into place over the next four weeks. Head coach Bill O’Brien doesn’t want those thoughts running around the heads of anyone in the organization Nick Martin Jersey , though.“We cannot take the cheese — we cannot,” O’Brien said, via Peter King of . 鈥淚鈥檝e told the team, it鈥檚 a short walk from 0-3 to where you are now. We don鈥檛 think about anything else Tyler Ervin Jersey , like the playoffs. We think about the next day. We think about Monday. Lift at 10, watch the tape at noon, flip the script and get ready for Indy next Sunday. We鈥檝e got good guys who love football. When you do, they鈥檒l follow what you鈥檙e emphasizing.”The Texans should follow the same script that they’ve followed to nine straight wins Benardrick McKinney Jersey , but there’s no doubt that their winning streak will have others contemplating what could happen down the road in Houston. Bill O’Brien concedes he needs to get better, the players need to get better and the team needs to get better. The Texans have made the playoffs three of O’Brien’s five seasons. However, two of those ended with home losses in the wild-card round, including last season’s 21-7 loss to the Colts.“We all know that last game wasn’t great Bradley Roby Jersey , and we have to learn from it,” O’Brien said, via John McClain of the . “We have to learn why that happened from a coaching standpoint and a playing standpoint, and then we moved on to the next [season].“You gather information and decide how you want to attack the roster Tashaun Gipson Jersey , the offseason program and training camp. That’s the fun of it, the challenge of it. I think our guys are going to be fired up [Monday when the offseason program starts].”Deshaun Watson took a league-high 62 sacks last season. The Texans added Matt Kalil in free agency, but their offensive line still looks shaky at best.Houston, though Zach Fulton Jersey , has three choices in the first two rounds.O’Brien also hopes everyone already in the building takes another step.“You try to figure out the things we can do better to build the team 鈥?to teach better [and] to handle different things that come up during the year better,” O’Brien said. “We’re always brainstorming and thinking about ways to help our players and our organization improve. We feel like we’re on the right track.”
