    I was involved in a discussion with an ex-coworker in regards to this... and he contended that it looks like we never win. While he may have been exaggerating, I thought "yes, it's true, we look like we are abysmal on Prime Time games as of recently."

    Entering our Texans 2014 season, we were 6-14 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday NIGHT games on NBC, CBS, NFL Network, and ESPN :(. These also include FOX and CBS games on Thanksgiving (only 1, against Detroit, a win).

    With last night's loss, the streak extends to 5 games without winning.

    Our last win was at San Diego for the Week 1 opener of 2013, as part of our 2-14 record that infamous season.

    Some positives:
    Our first PRIME TIME game was on Pigskin Sunday NFL ESPN game, a 19-10 WIN. I don't need to mention the opponent.
    Our first THURSDAY NIGHT game on NFL Network was a WIN vs. Denver in 2007.
    Our ONLY Thanksgiving Day game was the 34-31 WIN @ Detroit.

    I am hoping we turn this season around and get some FLEX games at the end of the season. :cool:

    I just going to throw it out there, if it wasn't for the lions head coach calling that flag on the non-touchdown by Justin Forsett, they probably would have won that game.
