The Houston Texans defense wasted another great effort by Deshaun Watson in an OT loss to the Titans.

“Bless their hearts” is about the only nice way to describe the play of the Houston Texans defense against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The offense of the Texans exploded in the second half, the special teams had a clutch field goal block, but the defense broke when they were needed the most.

It took until overtime, but the Houston Texans lost to the Titans by a 42-36 score, when the game-winning play was a “Wildcat” formation play where everyone knew the ball was going to be snapped to Derrick Henry and there was no stopping him for the 5-yard game-winning touchdown run.
