What it is, is something to blame the loss on afterward. A decent team recovers from that 99% of the time. The Patriots, Bengals, Chargers, Saints, Vikes, Steelers (sometimes, yeesh), Ravens, even the Titans all recover from that. The Texans don't recover from it, or they feel the pressure tightening around them - and they choke and blame the penalty afterward. Yeah, it changed the complexion of the game, but only because you damn well knew that the Texans were too emotionally fragile to keep playing their best once they saw the comeback attempt was on. It reminds me of the infamous Lakers/Blazers playoff game from like eight or nine years ago, whenever it was... the Lakers had some officiating help for sure, but the Blazers only needed to make a couple of buckets to protect their huge lead, and instead you could literally see them falling apart in front of your eyes. Some teams can't handle adversity even a little bit. That's on them, not the adversity. One penalty doesn't make a 28-0 or 35-3 run happen to good teams.
