It seems Amazon’s virtual assistant Alexa foreshadowed the loss of the Houston Texans’ playoff run Saturday night.
A Reddit user shared a video of Alexa responding to the question, “Who are the Houston Texans.”

She quickly answered with a response that throws major shade at the NFL team.
“The Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas that are scheduled to be publicly executed on Jan. 14 5:15 p.m. on nationally televised television at Gillette Stadium,” Alexa responds to the question.
Ouch.
This Alexa video comes after she’s given some other hilarious responses, including that time she rattled off a list of porn terms to a toddler.

A Reddit user pointed out that her response was likely linked to the bio on Wikipedia, which someone edited to say “publicly executed” rather than “play.”
After some digging around, Chron.com staff was able to find that the Wikipedia page was edited on January 13 at 11:37 p.m. to add the publicly executed portion of the statement to the top of the introductory paragraph. Here is the edited version. Here is the current version.
In Alexa’s defense, the Houston Texans did indeed lose to the New England Patriots Saturday night, but a public execution is a slight exaggeration. A strong first quarter was full of the defense putting up serious stops to the Patriots’ offense, but the second quarter quickly fell apart with two interceptions by on-and-off-again quarterback Brock Osweiler and other flops in the Texans’ offense.
In the end, the Texans lost to the Super Bowl contenders with a final score of 34-16.
