  "account": "The Houston Texans have had a challenging start to their season, with seven games under their belt. Despite these struggles, special teams coordinator Frank Ross is praising kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn's performance. Ross highlighted Fairbairn's mental toughness and dedication to his craft, noting that he has remained focused on his responsibilities regardless of the circumstances. Fairbairn has demonstrated exceptional accuracy, making 15 out of 16 field goals and successfully converting all his extra points. His only missed attempt was a 58-yarder against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. If he maintains his current field goal percentage, it would be his best mark since the 2023 season and the second-highest in his NFL career. Currently, Fairbairn holds the records for most field goal attempts and field goals made in Texans' history. The Texans are seeking some positive momentum after their overtime defeat to the New York Giants before the bye week, with an objective to secure a victory against the Los Angeles Chargers, a team that has yet to secure a win this season. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at SoFi Stadium.",
