— Being outscored 17-0 in the second half.
"We need to find a way to get better in the second half," Shorts said. "I'm not sure what happened, but we've got to figure out a way to get things going. We can't have one good half and one bad half. We have to play a full game together."
Houston's Arian Foster ran for 127 yards and a touchdown, a 1-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter was the play of the game.
"There are some things that we wanted to go out there and do, and adjustments we wanted to make, but we couldn't in that third quarter," tight end Marcedes Lewis said. "So once again, we put ourselves behind the 8-ball going into the fourth quarter. Now we're playing catch-up where we have to pass the ball, and then they're teeing off on us. It's tough in this league when you put yourself in that position."
Bortles completed 20 of 29 passes for 205 yards,China NBA Jerseys, with a touchdown to Allen Hurns and the costly interception. Denard Robinson ran 10 times for 30 yards.
