Our Houston Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars today on a final score of 27-7. Our record improved to 2-4.
I thought our Texans fought hard. We showed tremendous emotion, determination, and battle. As a result, we got one of the biggest wins we have had in a while, and it was well earned. Both sides of the ball played very well today.
Offensively, I thought we played well. We had a few nice drives in the first half, and got a second quarter Touchdown and Field Goal by Kris Brown. We were down their in the first quarter but Kris unfortunately missed the FG.
In the second half, our offense started off with two stragiht 3 and out's, so that wasn't to nice to see, but in the 4th quarter following a big turnover caused by the defense our offense put together a key touchdown drive, that was very encouraging. A few minuted later, following another defensive turnover, our offense scored another Touchdown and that really gave us a huge lead.
Overall offensively today, hell of a job. My hat goes off to the entire offensive line, Wali Lundy who really stepped up with nearly 100 yards, Gado picked up some solid yardage at times, and the Carr to Johnson connection was in sync today, great job by both those players. Great offensive job today!
In terms of the defense, I honestly can not say enough about their performance today. Hell of a job. We shut them out in the first half. We came out in the second half in the third quarter and Jacksonville put together a very nice drive running it right over us and earning a Touchdown, but our defense really rose to the challenge after this.
A couple drivers after Jacksonville's Touchdown drive, they were driving down the field on us again, put Antwaan Peek stepped up, stripped Fred Taylor and Mario Williams recovered. This is my mind was the play of the game, it really swong the momentum around which was all in Jacksonville's favor, it gave our offense the ball back and they scored.
The very next possesion for Jacksonville, our defense did it again on their first play. I think it was Petey Faggins who made the strip after a 15 yard or so reception, it was great to see that, and Greenwood recovered. This impressed me so much. I was very proud to see our defense on a mission today, and make just huge plays.
I have always though this defense can be really good for us someday with these players, coaches and the new 4-3 scheme and boy did they show that today. I'm so proud of them, they played their butt off all game and again, just made some huge, huge plays.
Overall today, for the entire team, I'm so proud. Many predicted us to get handed a loss easily to the tough Jacksonville Jaguars, as they are a sound football team espically defensively, they were coming off a bye week, etc. None of that seemed to matter to our players today.
We fought hard with emotion in those red jerseys all day long. Fans did a great job of supporting us, great job to my fellow fans. Our Texans also bounced back from a big loss to Dallas last week, and produced a big win.
We have now won 2 of our last 3, and have Tennessee next up on the menu in their house.
Let's celebrate this win by our Texans tonight, then get back to the grinding next week in preperation for those Tennessee Titans.
GO TEXANS!!!
