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. 

In the span of 24 hours, Houston sports fans likely worked their way through every conceivable emotion a die-hard fan could go through. The Houston Chronicle was quick to put together a sports page that fit all the news in one space and succeeded with flying colors.

Thank goodness the Rockets had a quiet few days.
