The Houston Texans saw their comeback attempt fall just short tonight and backup quarterback Brian Hoyer shares a huge portion of the blame. While he played exceptionally well after entering for an injured Ryan Mallett in the second quarter, he made the huge mistake at the end of the game by lobbing a pass into double coverage.
Sure enough, the Colts were able to grab the ball Hoyer punted with his arm and run the clock out. Hoyer who has a reputation for making the wrong play at the worst possible time was of course blasted on Twitter following the gaffe. Here are some of the fans reactions to the mistake;
