Texans fans scapegoating Lassiter, absolving C.Stroud, and quietly burying the Super Bowl defense talk.

What happened

Thirty-one points at home should be enough, and yet the secondary let J.Allen carve up the fourth quarter — the D.Kincaid 40-yarder, then the J.Palmer 34-yard dagger to J.Palmer with 1:41 left. C.Stroud nearly stole it back after the J.Noel 18-yard sideline grab, only for G.Rousseau to end it with a strip-sack at the BUF 28. Two Rousseau fumbles bookending the loss is going to linger.
