Texans fall apart in 2nd half of 25-22 loss to New England

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans looked to be on the way to their first win since the opener after building a nice lead with a solid first half Sunday against the New England Patriots.

Instead, a second half filled with mistakes, penalties and a bizarre punt for no yards led to a fourth straight loss.

Rookie Mac Jones threw a touchdown pass to tie it before Nick Folk’s 21-yard field goal with 15 seconds left lifted the Patriots to the 25-22 win.

This loss comes after an embarrassing 40-0 rout at Buffalo that was the most lopsided defeat in franchise history.
