If you watched both the Texans-Seahawks game and the World Series Game 5 yesterday, you are probably certainly exhausted this morning, and you probably noticed some eerie similarities that almost make you feel sympathy for the Dodgers.
- Like L.A., the Texans went into one of the loudest stadiums in the country.
- Like the Dodgers, they grabbed an early lead.
- Our Quarterback, Deshaun Watson, connected for 19 of 30 passes for 402 yards and four scores while gaining 67 yards on eight carries - more than enough to win a typical NFL contest, and the Texans still came up short.
- The lead continued to change hands right up to the final seconds of the contest.
- The Texans lost 38 to 41 in what sportswriters are calling the most entertaining game of the NFL season, and a few hours later, the Dodgers fell 13 to 12 in a 5 plus hour marathon to the Astros.
Don't get me wrong - I'm ecstatic over the Astros win. I really didn't want to see them headed back to Los Angeles with the series tied. But when anyone plays that hard for that long and loses - you have to feel a little sympathy for a moment or two, then move on and savor the victory.
