Change in Houston-The Coaching Career of Michael Smith

[Mike3207]

2009 Season-Game 16-Texans 45, Dolphins 24

The Dolphins almost managed to come back in this one-but we were able to run out the clock and score 2 TDs besides. We finished 11-5; good enough for another road wildcard game playing against the Hammermill-led Ravens.

2009-10 Wildcard Game- Ravens 34, Texans 29

Another road playoff game, another close playoff loss. I look back and admit-it was the turnovers that resulted in defensive TDs. A INT TD by Ed Reed, a fumble rec TD by Trevor Laws. Serna missed 2 FG as well, but it was those TDs that cost us the game.

Other Wildcard Games:

Eagles 31, Vikings 23
Titans 16, Broncos 13
Seahawks 31, Saints 28
