But, Kevin Faulk took it to the next level - I go back to that Houston game -


How many times did Faulk fumble in that game? Its been awhile, and my memory may not be 20/20, but didn't his fumbling lead to the "hell bent on losing"?

Both were great Tigers and I appreciate the entertainment each provided for us fans.

He fumbled 3 times, losing 2. I think 1 of those was the scoop and score. Regardless - he had almost 400 all purpose yards - or about 2 good games' worth.

We also had 6 penalties for 63 yards in the game, gave up 2 sacks (recorded no sacks of our own), threw 2 interceptions (recorded no ints of our own), and forced no fumbles.

While our 3rd down defense was good (2-13) - and we forced 8 punts, a minus 5 turnover ratio (only 2 of which were by Faulk) should have meant we had no shot in the game. It was one of the flattest home openers I have seen (and we've been flat) - except for Kevin Faulk and Kenny Mixon on defense.
