Houston Texans defeat Saints 27-13 in New Orleans

The Houston Texans improve to 2-1 on the postseason after defeating the New Orleans Saints by a score of 27-13. The Texans went on the road for the first time this preseason and the first string offense looked sharp.

After the Saints marched down the field quickly, the defense held them for only 3 points. The offense got going quickly as newly named starter Brian Hoyer connected on several passes, including what should have been a beautiful lob touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins.

The NFL referees were in postseason form as they once again could not grasp that when a player moves a ball from one hand to the other, this means they had possession.
