The Houston Texans thought last week's blowout loss in San Francisco was rock bottom. They had no clue.
Matt Schaub hurt his ankle during an ugly 38-13 loss to the St. Louis Rams. The ugliest, most memorable moment came courtesy of the home crowd.
After booing Schaub during the game, Texans fans cheered when Schaub went down with an injury. Backup quarterback T.J. Yates also got a rousing ovation when he entered the game.
"No class," Andre Johnson said of his home crowd after the game, via NFL Network's Jeff Darlington. "It's bad when members of the other team are saying that's messed up. No class."
Speaking of which ...

-If you were at Reliant stadium and cheered Matt's injury, you are a poor representation of your fan base and a bad example to young fans.
It has not been a proud week for the Texans fan base. From the apparent harassment of Schaub at his home to this booing, this could stick with the fanbase as a black mark for a while.
"It wasn't all of the fans but those are the same people when you're out somewhere with your family and you tell them that they can't have an autograph right now. Those are the same people who tell you that you are rude. No class," Johnson said. "It just shows what they are all about.
"You don't cheer about nobody being injured. I don't care who it is. Guys lay their bodies on the line out thereon that field and some guys get injuries and it affects them their whole lives."
Johnson is right. It's not all of the fans, but it's enough to get upset about. It's hard to blame him for his anger.

will turn on you in a heartbeat. The essence of what I took from his comments is that it could very easily be any player and they should all be aware of that possibility.
