Misery Index · Despair
Texans fans watching a defense get betrayed by Caley's offense and already declaring the season over in Week 1.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Down 9-14 with the ball driving inside the LA 20, D.Ogunbowale's fumble after a 7-yard catch ended any pretense of a comeback and sealed a game the offense never really showed up for. Caley's unit couldn't muster a first-half touchdown, C.Stroud took a brutal sack at the LA 27, and the only sustained energy came from fans cataloguing the dysfunction in real time. Week 1 and the offense already looks like a problem with no obvious fix.
