For the first time in forty years, Sundays in Houston were quiet. The Oilers were gone, having taken the team, the colors, and even the city's history with them to Tennessee. But a quiet, determined, self-made billionaire named Bob McNair refused to let that betrayal be the final word. This is the story of Houston's comeback. Learn how McNair, the polar opposite of Bud Adams, built a powerful coalition and healed the wounds of the past to launch an underdog bid for the NFL's 32nd and final franchise. It was a battle of "Houston vs. Hollywood," pitting a city's grit against the glamour of Los Angeles. Relive the triumphant moment Houston won the franchise, created a new identity as the Texans, and in a storybook first game, defeated their big brother, the Dallas Cowboys, declaring to the world that Houston was back.

The party was over. The shocking firing of beloved coach Bum Phillips ripped the soul out of the Houston Oilers, just as the oil bust of the 1980s ripped the economic heart out of the city. But just as the city began to find its footing, a new star rose in the Astrodome: Warren Moon. A legend in Canada, Moon came to Houston to prove the NFL wrong for its prejudice against Black quarterbacks. He became the master of a thrilling, futuristic offense called the "Run and Shoot," leading the Oilers to seven straight playoff appearances. This is the story of a thrilling second act that brought excitement back to the Dome, but ended in the most infamous collapse in NFL history, a game known simply as "The Choke." That on-field heartbreak would give owner Bud Adams the leverage he needed to begin a cold, calculated war against the city he once championed, setting the stage for the ultimate betrayal.

By the mid-1970s, the Oilers' championship glory was a faded memory. The Astrodome was quiet, the team was mediocre, and Houston had lost its football soul. Then, a cowboy walked into town. This is the story of coach Bum Phillips, a sheepskin-clad folk hero who gave the team an identity, and Earl Campbell, "The Tyler Rose," a running back who was more a force of nature than a football player. Together, they ignited a city-wide love affair known as "Luv Ya Blue." The Astrodome became the "House of Pain," an anthem swept the city, and a belief was born. Follow the Oilers' gritty, emotional journey as they knock on the door of greatness, only to face the NFL's final boss: the terrifying "Steel Curtain" dynasty of the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading to one of the most controversial calls in sports history.
