"I have to tell you something about the Texans that really impressed me.

I've been in a lot of dressing rooms after playoff losses, and I was rather surprised at the Texans' reaction to their 20-13 loss to Baltimore.

When reporters entered the Texans' dressing room, the players weren't satisfied with the seven-point loss in hostile territory. The players didn't want to talk about the season. They didn't want to talk about next season.

They weren't happy just to have been there. They were genuinely disappointed and frustrated they lost. They expected to win. They knew they could have won. They knew they gave away the game with four turnovers.

And they were angry about it."
