Texans Top Bengals In Cincinnati
The Houston Texans have jumped into the 2015 NFL playoff picture in the AFC with their 10-6 victory over the previously unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. So after his Texans upset the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, Watt used his on-field post-game interview to deliver a pre-planned joke at the expense of Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton.
There was a smattering of boos at one point in the fourth quarter for a team that was 8-0 for the first time in franchise history.
Maybe it’s because the 8-1 Bengals have proven that the “Bengals can’t win in prime time” narrative is irrelevant, even if they lost to the Texans last night (last night’s loss was the first time in four prime time matchups that Cincinnati came out without a win). He finished with two tackles against the Texans. Yates would finish with 69 yards and a TD on 5-of-11 passing. The integrity of this game – I have a lot of respect for him. And so was the Texans’ defence, which looked awfully familiar as well.
They made Andy Dalton look bad during first-round playoff wins over the Bengals during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Watt who spoke with ESPN following the win.
Broncos Coach Gary Kubiak decided to make the switch Monday in the aftermath of Denver’s 29-13 loss to Kansas City in which Manning was picked off four times and had a rock-bottom 0.0 passer rating in 2½ quarters of work.
San Francisco at Seattle, 3:25 p.m. Hoyer remained in the game for the rest of the series, a span of five plays, before heading to the locker room. “I’m pretty excited. This is an incredible team”. “I wish him the best the rest of the season”. It’s hard to ask for anything more after a debacle like we saw Monday. Dre Kirkpatrick did a very nice job containing one of the best receivers in the league and the defensive line held their own as they didn’t allow the Texans to get their run game going and garnered three sacks.
T.J. Yates took over after Hoyer was injured and his touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins was the difference in the game and the only touchdown of the night.
Dalton had another tough time against a Texans defence, going 21 of 37 for 187 yards with an interception and three sacks.
Nugent would get another one from 39 before halftime, and we had a 6-3 Bengals advantage at the break. Running back Jeremy Hill’s disappointing season continued with just 15 yards on seven carries.
“This was a big game for us, especially when you beat a team like Cincinnati”, Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.
It’s rare a team gets a chance to bounce back from a disastrous primetime showing less than a week later, but that’s exactly what the Bengals get to do in Arizona next Sunday. But a short time later, Dalton heard what Watt said about him.
