The Texans came up just short, falling to the Raiders 27-20. <p>The Texans held the Raiders to only 7 yards rushing in the first half and a total of 120 yards by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Texans went for it on fourth down. After two questionable spots, the Texans turned the ball over on downs. The Raiders capitalized, scoring the go ahead touchdown.</p> <p>The defense did a great job of containing the Raiders offense for most of the game. The game was played 7,380 feet above sea level. This made it hard to play in the fourth quarter. Brock Osweiler went 26-of-39 for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Lamar Miller rushed 24 times for 104 yards and a touchdown.</p> <p>This loss gives them only a one game edge over the Colts in the AFC South. This week, they play the San Diego Chargers. This won’t be an easy game. The Chargers keep it close in every game they play. The Texans will need to win to keep their lead over the AFC South.</p>. 6-4. Previous: 10th. Houston Texans
