Matching 32 Marvel Cinematic Universe characters with each NFL team

Houston Texans – Spider-Man
The Houston Texans once had one of the best defenses of all time. J.J. Watt was crucial in making that happen. In his career, Watt has shown that he’s one of the best defensive players ever. He’s also incredibly charitable. When Hurricane Harvey hit, Watt was one of the first people in line to donate and raise money.
Spider-Man is New York’s best defender. While the Avengers have saved the city, Spider-Man was in the middle of everything. The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man tag isn’t just a saying. He literally is the neighborhood’s defender. He’s also the type of guy who’d be right there during the rebuilding process.
The Houston Texans haven’t exactly been the most feared team in the NFL. Some years they’re good and some years even their fans hate them. This sounds exactly like Spider-Man. Sometimes, Spider-Man is one of the world’s greatest heroes. Other times, he’s a self-righteous jerk that everyone hates. And despite being one of the best heroes in the MCU, he doesn’t exactly put fear into his enemies. This isn’t his fault. The Spider-Man in the MCU hasn’t had enough time in the movies to put a stamp down.
