Last year we saw the Texans get out to a big lead only to see critical mistakes and questionable calls let the Colts back into it late and they pulled out the win.
This year, the Colts got out to a big lead only to see the Texans fight back but come up short due to critical mistakes and questionable calls as the Colts won again.
Bottom line: Either way, the Texans lost and they seem to find ways to shoot themselves in the foot when a key moment approaches. Winners win and the Texans have never quite believed in themselves enough to win.
Moving forward, perhaps our talent evaluators need to look more closely for players from winning programs that exhibit leadership skills or have an edge to them. That will take several years to develop.
We're expected to get Clowney back next week and I'm looking forward to how he'll impact the defense.
