I call that the very definition of "snakebit". If both your offense and defense rank in the Top 10, you should at least be .500 and probably better.

I think stats are overrated, and I think the Texans season proves it.

Makes me think of the year Nolan Ryan led the National League in strikeouts and earned run average but his W-L record was 8-17.

The -11 turnover differential (tied for 29th) helps explain it. We know all too well about the offense's pick 6s, but the defense has been particularly unopportunistic as only two teams have fewer takeaways.

Ya, 2-5 record in games decided by a touchdown or less is another. The other 3 games (Ravens, 49'ers, Rams) were very large losses when Schaub was still at QB. Oddly, despite the lopsided scores, the Texans won total yards and time of possession in all three games..... Weird stuff...

Just need one guy to step up and make a play during crunch time.... So far, no takers....

Redzone problems on both sides of the ball is another......

Jags win the toss and will receive.

Jags return the kick to their 25 yard line. Jags ball.

----------------------------------

Henne sacked by Smith/Mitchell! 2nd and 17 coming up.

Screen to MJD goes for 15.

Pass to Sanders gets two yards and the 1st down.

Henne's pass to Taylor broken up, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass to MJD gets 6. 3rd and 4 coming up.

Slant to Sanders goes all the way to the Texan 8 yard line. 51 yards.

Pass to Shorts goes to the 1.

Rush for no gain. 3rd and goal coming up from the 1.

Henne pressured, throws inc. Jags to go for it on 4th down....

MJD punches it in for the TD.

Jags 7, Texans 0

10:57 left in the 1st quarter.

He must have been snakebit.
