It’s bad enough when you’re getting dominated on the defensive side of the football, but for the Texans, Ryan Allen added a little insult to injury last Thursday night by having an outstanding performance.

The veteran punter punted seven times for 333 yards but the thing that hurt the Texans was the fact Ryan dropped six of those punts inside the 20, starting Houston off with poor field position on a night where they didn’t cross midfield until there was 3:27 to go in the 3rd quarter.
