Defense kept us in it, but the Ravens were just too much at home. So no improbable upset win for my Texans. Then again, who said we were actually FAVORED to win and supposed to win a road playoff game against a team that... is perfect at home? T.J. Yates had to get warmed up before he basically started playing like the game changer he can be. I was expecting a Ravens' lynch job on my Texans, but the scoring was kept low, so not as much bloodshed. Bad decisions by T.J. Yates as well as that muff by Jacoby Jones were the main culprits in our loss. If anything, the Texans got a dose of reality- we were a great team who lost to a better team- again. They can get better next season. They hopefully WILL be better next season. This loss just wasn't as lopsided as the first meeting. It was 20-13 in favor of Baltimore.
Can't say it enough- I'm damned proud of my Texans. Expectations will surely be high next season for the Texans to build off of this season's successes. Well... next time I see NFL action will be with the Super Bowl. Unhappy birthday present for me.
If you're wanting a "Harbaugh Bowl" in Indianapolis, you're now one game away from having that reality potentially come true. I'm just mad as a Texans fan that we get written off so poorly just to try to market a deal like a possible Ravens/49ers match.
