HOUSTON -- A somber mood lingered in the visiting locker room at EverBank Stadium on Sept. 21.
The Houston Texans had fallen to 0-3 for the first time under third-year coach DeMeco Ryans after a 17-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. A season filled with lofty expectations was teetering toward disappointment.
Ryans stated throughout the offseason that the season was about getting over the hump to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in the franchise's 25-year existence.
