In the grand scheme of things, the entire season as a whole was pretty successful for the Houston Texans. They won the AFC South title, they went from 0-3 to hosting a playoff game, and the Texans reached the playoffs after losing the likes of Will Fuller and Demaryius Thomas at wide receiver.
That said — even in facing a red-hot team like the Indianapolis Colts — there was no excuse to come out as flat, and get into as big of a hole as they did so quickly, as they did. The Texans trailed by a 14-0 score at the end of the first quarter and by a 21-0 score when halftime arrived.
