About This Cache: 

Houston Texans

(NFL: 2002 - Present)

 

Five Facts about the Houston Texans:

·         During a 2006 game against the Oakland Raiders, the Texans finished the game with negative 5 yards passing and still won.

·         When it came to naming the franchise, five names made it to the final selection committee; Texans, Bobcats, Apollos, Stallions, and Wildcatters.

·         During the 2007 season, in a game against the Miami Dolphins, Texans kicker Kris Brown became the first kicker in the history of the NFL to successfully kick three field goals of 54 yards or longer in one game.

·         The Texans became the first expansion team to win their first two season openers after beating the Cowboys in 2002 and then the Dolphins in 2003.

·         The 32nd team, and 2002 expansion franchise, was originally awarded to the city of Los Angeles. After the Los Angeles ownership groups were unable to put together an approvable package, the NFL awarded the team to Houston.

Now about the cache: Week 12: It’s all about camo this week. Please be careful with the cache and its camo, its fragle! Watch out for muggles as well, certain days of the week might not be the best time to go after due to increased muggles in the area. Don’t forget to keep track of your playbook for the series. Have fun!

 



About The Series:

"ROAD TO THE SUPER BOWL"

Welcome to the NFL football season. What would the NFL season be like without a new football cache series to find? Throughout the football weeks, bluepant and mob1971, will be hiding a series of different style NFL team caches. These caches hope to excite the football fanatics and also teach the not so football savvy some things about each team. These caches will provide clues and information to our Super Bowl cache finale called "Road to the Super Bowl"

PRESEASON GAMES (Teaser caches, does not include the needed hints for the series finale cache):
DALLAS TEXANS and CANTON BULLDOGS

 


Series Finale:
Stage 1 – Playbook
Stage 2 – Super Bowl

Each cache will contain a trivia question about that team that could be critical to finding the final cache "Road to the Super Bowl". Please make sure you take time to read your playbook and keep up with the questions and answers in preparation for the FINAL exam. Please DO NOT POST any of the answers or questions in your logs. If you have any questions regarding the trivia questions, feel free to email bluepant or mob1971. The FINAL playbook will contain a variety of questions from the above caches in order to obtain the "Road to the Super Bowl" coordinates (HINT: Answers to FINAL playbook will come from a number of caches you found during the season, so I would hate for you to try to skip one or two of the caches and miss a question). Have fun and enjoy this series.
