Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak affirmed that he's sticking with kicker Kris Brown despite Brown missing another pivotal field goal during a 20-17 loss Monday night to the Tennessee Titans.

missed from 49 yards with one second remaining, a costly misfire that prevented the Texans from going to overtime.

However, Kubiak emphasized that he's not planning to audition any kickers.

"Kris is our kicker," Kubiak told reporters today.

Brown also missed a 42-yard clutch field goal with one minute to go two weeks ago in a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Signed to a four-year, $10 millon contract in June, Brown's errant kicking is costing the Texans (5-5) opportunities to compete for a wild-card spot.

“(I’m) the reason we lose the game,” Brown said. “That’s hard for me to take. I need to go figure out what the heck is going on, and I need to figure it out pretty quick.”
