The Houston Texans had an opportunity and they blew it.
Entering Week 5 with a two-game winning streak, the Texans had a chance to win three games in a row for the first time since 2018 and also have a winning record after five games for the first time since 2019 — which, weirdly, was after playing the Atlanta Falcons.
Instead the Falcons got the better of Houston 21-19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
There were positives, such as C.J. Stroud extending his pass attempts without an interception streak. There were some negatives, such as the Texans’ defense failing to protect the lead.
Naturally Twitter was full of takes. Here are some of the best.
