BALTIMORE (AP) — The Houston Texans ended their season the same way they started it: with a loss in Baltimore.
When the sting of Saturday’s 34-10 playoff defeat wears off, the Texans will almost certainly appreciate how well they played between those setbacks against the Ravens.
After going 3-13-1 a year ago, the Texans rode a terrific season by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud to go 10-7 and win the AFC South. Houston then manhandled Cleveland in the wild-card round before being ousted by the top-seeded Ravens.
Although the Texans fell short of reaching the AFC championship game for the first time, they took solace in being one of the last eight teams standing.
