Proof of life isn’t a particularly lofty goal, but that’s about all the Texans can be reasonably expected to deliver.
So, once again, we applaud the effort.
Bless their hearts. They tried.
And once again, the effort was for naught, as the Texans came up short for the 10th time this season, giving the franchise its eighth season with double-digit losses.
That is a lot of misery for a team that has been in existence for only 19 years.
But this 2020 misery is unique.
Take Sunday’s disaster in Indianapolis.
The Texans, who blew a chance to tie or win the game against the Colts a couple weeks with a fumble near the goal line, blew a chance to tie or win the game with a fumble near the goal line Sunday.
This isn’t as confusing as that word order makes it sound.
Rarely does a team lose a game in such a fashion. Hardly ever does a team lose two games in such a short span this way.
The Texans can’t win for doing everything they can to lose.
This time, it was Keke Coutee who couldn’t hold onto the ball as he battled his way toward the end zone with less than 30 seconds remaining in a 27-20 loss.
There are but two games left in this dreadful campaign.
After being praised for not giving up on the season, the Texans looked like they indeed gave up a week ago in Chicago.
The report of their death was not an exaggeration. Their season is dead.
But as football players, many of them are very much alive and they showed that Sunday against Indianapolis.
They also showed why they have more than twice as many losses as wins.
This was comically macabre.
“They kept playing and kept playing and there they were at the end with the possibility of winning,” interim head coach Romeo Crennel said.
Define “possibility,” coach.
Is it really possible for Charlie Brown to kick the football?
I mean, even Jesse Jackson has to be wondering why the Texans strive so hard to keep hope alive, when these games continue to end so poorly.
How many come-from-behind-to-almost-win losses can one team suffer in a season?
Just two more.
