Tennessee comes out on top in duel of field goals in game’s final minute
Houston has not been this devastated since the Oilers left town.
In the most important game in team history, the Texans blew a chance to force overtime on their last series for the fourth time this season.
As a result of their 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Texans are wallowing in a 5-5 quagmire of mediocrity.
For the second consecutive game, Kris Brown missed a field goal that would have tied the score and sent the game into overtime. Brown followed his 42-yard misfire at Indianapolis by missing a 49-yarder with one second left Monday night at Reliant Stadium, securing the Titans’ fourth consecutive victory before a record crowd of 71,153.
With ESPN taking this one coast to coast, Rob Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal with 47 seconds left to give the Titans the three-point advantage. It was Bironas’ second field goal of the game and his 14th at Reliant Stadium in the past three years.
“It’s very disheartening,” Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. “It was a great game. They’re a hell of a team. Give them credit.”
The Texans got the ball one last time at their 38-yard line. They had two timeouts.
