The Game:
Another late loss for the Texans. Tying the score late at 21 with a Matt Stevens fumble return, the Texans defense allowed the opponent for the second week in a row to put together a late game winning drive. This time it was Mark Brunell who gave Richie Cunningham a great opportunity.

Texans lose 24-21.

The Game:
The Texans defense had no answers for Jets running back Curtis Martin as he extended drives all day. Though once in the red zone the defense tightened up and kept the Jets out of the end zone 8 of 9 red zone possessions.

But it was still too much as the Texans offense never found any rhythm. Scott Covington did his best David Carr impersonation and the running game never got moving.

These things lead to a 16-3 win for the Jets.
