  • Between the Houston Astros winning the World Series and the Houston Texans losing quarterback Deshaun Watson to injury, it's been an emotional week for Houston sports fans.

It's been a week of intense emotions for fans of Houston sports teams.

On Wednesday night, the Houston Astros won their first World Series in franchise history after a dramatic seven game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, the celebration was quickly muted. The next day, the Houston Texans lost star rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending knee injury after the best game of his young career.
