Hold a team to under 50 yards offense, you’d think you’d have a chance to win at least….To get blown out when that happens, it’s tough. Steelers linebacker Joey Porter said it best: They won! They won 24-6!! In a game where they had 47 yards of offense and no touchdowns! That remains the fewest yards ever gained by a team in a winning effort. That’s 47 total yards of offense with no touchdowns! In an entire game! And when you hear that the final score was 24-6, one would have to assume that Houston lost. The Texans weren’t much better on the ground, running 26 times for 37 yards. He was sacked four times, so Houston had 10 net passing yards on 14 dropbacks. Three! David Carr completed 3 of 10 passes for 33 yards, with all three going to tight end Billy Miller. The expansion Texans had just three first downs the entire game. And the game was baffling on every level. The Jets played at 4:15 that day, and I was living in Pennsylvania at the time, so I got to watch that game in its entirety. One of my favorite boxscores comes from a Steelers-Texans game in 2002.
