The second-year quarterback placed the blame on himself and the offense for the second-half woes that sunk the Texans in their 26-23 loss to Detroit. Houston's defense forced Lions quarterback Jared Goff into five interceptions, the most in a prime-time game since former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees had the same total in 2012 against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Texans (6-4) became the second team since 1933 to lose a game in which they caught five interceptions and led by at least 15. Previously, teams were 373-1-1 when leading by at least 15 and snagging five interceptions. The other time a team lost in that fashion was in Week 11 of 1970, when the Chicago Bears lost to the Baltimore Colts 21-20 despite Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas throwing five interceptions, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
