Those aren't just positive vibes from a grasping-for-straws coach either. Fox had plenty of visual evidence to present to his team to further his case. On Tuesday, for example, he cited the partially blocked field goal cornerback Sherrick McManis produced in the third quarter, tearing off the edge and getting a hand on the football with an all-out dive. Somehow, though, Nick Novak's 28-yard kick still fluttered between the uprights, pulling the Texans within 14-13.
