Texans blow game against Titans with two huge blunders

The Houston Texans made some crucial mistakes late in their game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday that may have cost them a win.

The Texans were trailing 23-17 late in the third quarter at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Their defense came up with a huge play when cornerback Jimmie Ward intercepted a pass from Titans quarterback Will Levis and returned it for a touchdown. The Texans went up 24-23 and extended their lead to 27-23 with a field goal two drives later. Things quickly went downhill from there.

First, Houston completely blew a coverage and allowed tight end Chig Okonkwo to break free for a 70-yard touchdown:

That gave the Titans a 30-27 lead. CJ Stroud and the Texans drove into field goal range and had a chance to tie the game with 1:56 remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn shanked a 28-yard chip shot wide left:

The Texans still had three timeouts left after the missed field goal. Their defense came up with a stop and they got the ball back with 1:29 remaining. Houston’s drive started at their own 8-yard line, however, and Stroud took a big sack on 2nd-and-10. Stroud was then forced out of the back of the end zone for a safety on third down.

Houston went on to lose 32-27 in a game in which they were heavily favored. The win was just the third of the year for Tennessee, while the Texans fell to 7-5.

The Texans remain in the lead in the AFC South, but their loss to the Titans is the type of game — and self-inflicted wound — that could come back to haunt them late in the year.
