The Houston Texans folded on Sunday. In what was a prime opportunity to go 9-4 by beating a 4-8 Denver Broncos team, the Texans embarrassingly lost at home with a final result of 38-24.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson did not have the game he envisioned. After toasting the New England Patriots, he went 28 of 50 passing (56%) for 292 yards, a touchdown, two rushing touchdowns, two interceptions and a 63.1 passer rating.
What can he take away from the performance?
“Didn’t really play well. Didn’t play well enough. They got up, and it was hard for us to come back. We tried to,” said Watson post-game.
The Texans put up a stinker at home. But, there is no time to dwell on it. Next week, they go up to Nashville to face the 8-5 Tennessee Titans — a game that will momentarily decide the AFC South, meaning playoff implications galore.
“Just got to get back to the drawing board,” Watson concluded.
