The inestimable Tom Kirkendall points out that this loss was up there with the worst in Houston sports history. And he kindly lists those other epic chokes.
He links to a story about John Elway's 98 yard drive to stop Houston from reaching the AFC championship game. I was too young (and in Baltimore) to remember that one. And I certainly didn't realize that our own Gary Kubiak was the holder on the Broncos' game-winning kick. Damn.
Never forget, folks, that Houston has a long history of choking, largely unrecognized by the outside world. It's a proud history. It wouldn't be Choke City without those events.
