There was a brief moment, maybe two minutes of real time, where it looked as if things may actually, improbably, break right for the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon. Early in the opening window of games, Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward scrambled into the end zone to give the Titans an early 7-0 lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
At the same time, thanks to the right leg of Ka'imi Fairbairn, the Texans were out to a 3-0 lead against the Indianapolis Colts in a game that very few expected the reeling Colts would put up much of a fight in.
