(11-7) Houston Texans 13
This was one of those “ugly but thrilling” kinds of performances, with plenty of mediocre action to be found. Certainly Texan Jacoby Jones had his issues (that fumble in the first was costly indeed), but the death threats we’ve been hearing about is utterly ridiculous. The dude totally sucked yesterday, I’ll give you that. But it wasn’t bad enough to warrant that kind of reaction. Meanwhile, Houston’s defense managed to keep it closer than it should have been, coming up with a huge goal line stand in the third quarter. They even got help from Arian Foster, whose 132 yards is the equivalent of running “all over” the Ravens, whose run defense is historically stellar.
