The Houston Texans put on a show on primetime television, as they went toe to toe against quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. In fact, the Texans were 6.5 point underdogs yet lost by 2 points on a 58-yard field goal. They were in it to the very end due to the offense, which was very encouraging to see.
Bill O’Brien’s playcalling was impressive throughout the game and would have been a recipe for the win if it were not for a last-second blunder by the defense. Texans had 22 first downs, as compared to the Saints who had 25.
