Associated Press  

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans made mistakes in every facet of the game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans to lose for the third time in four games. Stroud threw two interceptions, the defense gave up multiple big passing plays and Ka′imi Fairbairn missed a 28-yard field goal that would have tied it late in a 32-27 loss. We didn’t play good across the board and that starts with me.” Despite this, the Texans had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Fairbairn’s short field-goal attempt sailed wide left. “The most frustrating part about it is out of all the bad things that happened, we still had a chance to finish the game,” Ryans said. We still had a chance there to tie it up and finish the game, and we didn’t.” The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid.
