Wow.

Absolute bonkers series of events.

The personal foul that gave them a first
Down actually winds up costing them 3 points.

Crazy!

Texans remind me a lot of the Eagles last year when they were not as good as their record and you can only manage those kinds of wins for so long.

When a game is close at that time the old adage is never take points off the board
To be fair the game was only close because a Jets decided that instead of a TD he would rather just literally drop the ball outside of the endzone and hand it back to the Texans.

True but the point is that it was a close game at that point regardless of why

If they did score a TD though, it would not be talked about.

Going to be interesting if Friday morning sports shows make that decision a topic

I think the story is going to be that Houston is in a lot of trouble. Usually when you see a good team lose to an inferior team its because the good team made a lot of dumb mistakes. However in this case the Jets made all the really dumb mistakes. The aforementioned drop of the ball, TWO personal foul penalties on 4th and 20+, and multiple other just bad penalties. The fact that Houston lost despite that is VERY concerning.

The #1 and #2 Wrs being out is certainly a factor as well
