Texans Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Texans were disappointed at the way their season ended with a 20-13 divisional playoff loss at Baltimore, but when they review what became the most successful season in the franchise's 10-year history, they'll be pumped about the high expectations of the 2012 season.

A torrent of turnovers, including three interceptions by rookie quarterback T.J. Yates, left them with the seven-point loss to the Ravens. They finished with a team-best 11-7 record, an AFC South title and a wild-card playoff victory before the largest crowd in Reliant Stadium history.

"Obviously, it felt great to play in the playoffs, but the biggest thing is we come out of this thing hungrier next year," coach Gary Kubiak said.
