The sting of being blown out at home was a slow-burn experience for the Texans, an incredibly flat football team Sunday afternoon.

The Texans were down 31-3 at halftime, allowed three touchdown passes to rookie quarterback Drew Lock and committed three turnovers.
"It's definitely embarrassing," running back Carlos Hyde said. "You never want to get blown out at home. You never want to get blown out anyway, especially a game you're kind of favored to win and things don't go your way.
