Texans Franchise Summed Up In OT Loss to Ravens

I don't know if you caught the "real" Monday Night Football game tonight, but if you did, you witnessed what can only be described as the epitome of the Houston Texans franchise. 

Let me recap.  Down 28-10, the Texans proceed to put on an absolute show in the 4th quarter.  Kick a field goal, get a stop, score a touchdown, get a stop, score a touchdown with 25 seconds left, get the 2 point conversion to force overtime.  In OT, the Texans get a stop, get the ball back and Matt Schaub, who was nothing short of brilliant in the 4th quarter, throws a pick six at his own 10 yard line and the Texans lose the game.

Schaub was just fantastic in the 4th.  He made plays with his arm and his legs.  His decisions were all the right ones, his receivers kept making HUGE plays when he needed them. 

And then the clock struck midnight, or the other shoe dropped, or whatever you want to say, and the Texans pissed away a golden opportunity to claim a win against a big time team. 

So goes football in the city of Houston.
