Texans quarterback Case Keenum bounced back Week 13 after two poor performances, but he still didn't do enough to lead Houston to a win. Keenum completed 15 of 30 passes for 272 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in a 34-31 loss.
Keenum had an efficient first half, completing 9 of 15 passes for 127 yards as Houston had a 17-7 halftime lead. Though, Keenum's only interception came as Houston was driving for a score in the first half. With Houston at the New England 27-yard line, Keenum was hit as he was about to release the football, which caused the pass to float up in the air and it was picked off by Logan Ryan.
Keenum, however, came back to post a 5-yard rushing touchdown in the second half. On a designed quarterback run, Keenum took the snap out of shotgun formation and ran left behind an offensive lineman for an easy score. It was his first career rushing touchdown.
Still, Keenum went without a passing touchdown for a second straight game, despite a nice performance from star receiver Andre Johnson, who finished with eight catches for 121 yards. The Texans are back in action Week 14 at Jacksonville (Thursday).
