The Texans were in the game against the Raiders, until they weren't.

In their 1-3-1 start to the season, the trend for the Houston Texans had been that they were hanging around within a score in each of those games, but eventually they couldn't seal the deal, except against Jacksonville. The recurring theme in every Lovie Smith press conference was"we need to finish better.
Once again, the Texans hung around for a half and change, taking a 10-10 tie into the locker room at halftime, and actually taking a 20-17 lead in the third quarter. Alas, Josh Jacobs ran over, through, and around the Texans defense in three second half Raider touchdown drives, and that was it. The Raiders righted their ship to move to 2-4, and the Texans fell to 1-4-1.
There were winners and losers on Sunday, in that game and a few around the league. Let's take a look:In a season where it's abundantly clear that the Texans have many more holes to fill, several of which won't get filled until after another draft or two, Pierce continues to be a revelation. He was operating in the shadow of Jacobs yesterday, but still came away with a very physical, contact-laden 92 yards on 20 carries.
