Afterward, while the Commanders defense celebrated the first win, Carr was less charitable. He seemed unimpressed with the Commanders defense. In addition to hitting Johnson with a deep pass, Carr also induced Carlos Rogers into a 32-yard pass-interference penalty when he crashed into Johnson near the goal line. On first and goal at the 2, Houston scored on the very next play. Penalties stalled two big drives and the Texans were hit with seven penalties for 57 yards.
"We just shot ourselves in the foot because we did it to ourselves," said Carr, who completed 19 of 29 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns. "They scored some points, but we could have scored, too. We did this to ourselves. I've seen my brother's high school games, and it's better than this."
