The Houston Texans had a promising start against the Detroit Lions, leading by 16 points at halftime. However, they collapsed in the second half, ultimately losing 26-23. This marked a significant downturn for the team, who had previously struggled to maintain momentum.

Despite a franchise record of five interceptions, the Texans' offense faltered, failing to capitalize on opportunities. Key players were missing, and the coaching staff faced criticism for conservative play-calling. The Texans will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for a challenging matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
