HOUSTON — The Houston Texans dropped their sixth consecutive game in a 31-5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Sunday afternoon, at State Farm Stadium. As expected, the Texans never had a chance to pull off an improbable upset, even while holding a 5-0 lead over the Cardinals during the first quarter.
Following a slow start to the game, the Cardinals displayed their offensive versatility by scoring 31 unanswered points led by MVP candidate Kyler Murray — who threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
The Texans had a rough outing on the offensive side of the ball, as they recorded a total of 160 yards on 49 plays and 12 drives. Rookie quarterback had an abhorrent day throwing for 135 yards while completing 23 out of 32 pass attempts.
As the Texans fall to 1-6 on the season, Houston is now four games back in the AFC South. Here are five takeaways from the Texans’ loss to the Cardinals.
