The Houston Texans had a spark, having answered Dion Lewis' 13-yard touchdown catch with a field goal in the first quarter at the New England Patriots on Saturday.

And then, they had to go and kick off to Lewis.

The Texans' special teams coach is Larry Izzo, formerly of the Pats. His expression says it all.

But Lewis giveth and he taketh away: After the Texans cut the lead to 14-6 with a field goal, Lewis fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Houston recovered. C.J. Fiedorowicz caught a 10-yard TD as the Texans suddenly found themselves down just 14-13.

Lewis added a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter of the Pats' 34-16 win. His rushing, receiving and kickoff return touchdowns were a first by a player in an NFL postseason game. His school, Pitt, was proud to spread the word on Twitter.
