The Houston Texans were schooled by Tom Brady and the rest of Belichick's boys last night on Monday Night Football, to the tune of 42-14. It was supposed to be the biggest game in franchise history for the Texans, and in many respects it was. The game just didn't turn out the way Houston was hoping.
There were a few other failures this week as well. The Baltimore Ravens failed to secure a playoff spot for the second week in a row, firing coordinator Cam Cameron as a consequence. The Pittsburgh Steelers failed to win a seemingly very winnable game, at home, against the 5-8 San Diego Chargers. Despite the 34-24 score, the game wasn't even close.
The biggest failures this week, failures of epic proportion, at least in terms of the scoreboard, go to; the Saints (losing to the Giants, 52-27), Cardinals (getting blanked by the Seahawks, 58-0) and Chiefs (losing to the Browns, 30-7). Considering what the expectations are for the Houston Texans, their 42-14 loss has to be counted as one of the epic failures this week as well.
The good news for the Texans is that there are three more weeks left in the regular season to right the ship. If they were getting a little too full of themselves, last night's debacle can serve as a wake-up call.
