Misery Index · Content
Texans fans riding a backup-led game-winner into Pittsburgh or Baltimore, unsure if it's destiny or a mirage.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Pierce torched the secondary early for 66 and nearly again on the 53-yarder that set up first-and-goal at the 1, and somehow Houston walked out with the sweep, the 5-seed, and rested starters. K.Fairbairn's 43-yarder iced it after A.Huzzie's pick flipped the fourth quarter. The concern travels with them: a defense that gave up 30 to R.Leonard now has to win a road playoff game for the first time in franchise history.
What fans said
“The Texans have NEVER won a road game in the playoffs. We are changing that next weekend.”
