You go with what worked in the past. Clutch City is not reserved just for basketball. It's an attitude.

It's saying "Yeah, you think we CHOKE? Not this time. We are CLUTCH."

The paths the Rockets and Texans took are fairly similar, and the term (IMO) is dead-on. Don't have our best guys out there? No problem. On the road with a rookie 3rd string QB? No problem. Have to march down the field with no timeouts and score a TD to win the game on the last play? No problem.

If that's not "clutch" then I don't know what is.

Sometimes, you stop trying to be the most creative guy in the room (something all of you have tried your hand at, btw) and you just stop trying to re-invent the wheel. Go with what works. Clutch City is something everybody knows of, it's a Houston thing. It's ours. And so it transfers to the Texans.

Sometimes the answer was right under our nose the whole time. This is one of those times. Clutch City is Clutch City. Today, IMO, ought to cement it.
