Houston Texans Monday Night Football Loss To Baltimore Ravens Is Same Old Thing

The Houston Texans season can be summed up fairly easily. Get down early, stage an incredible comeback, and lose in heartbreaking fashion. That's been who they are all year long and it continued with on Monday Night Football with a 34-28 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

SB Nation’s Battle Red Blog agrees that this team hasn’t changed much.

A team that continues to have problems blocking for its quarterback, a team that continues to shoot itself in the foot at inopportune times, a team that continues to allow 3rd-and-longs to be completed on it’s defense with startling regularity, a team that bungles playcalls, a team that wastes timeouts left and right, a team that battles but comes up short. The script changes a bit from game-to-game, sure. Sometimes it isn’t completely devastating, sometimes the defense plays a little better, sometimes the offense plays a little better.

What a frustrating season for Texans fans after the way this team started the season. After starting the year 4-2, they've lost six of their last seven and aren't in the NFL playoff picture anymore. They're 5-8 and tied with the Tennessee Titans for last place in the AFC South.

It would be typical Texans style to run the table, finish the season 8-8 and missing out on the playoffs.
