Brock Osweiler Speaks on That Annoying Green Laser Pointer From MNF
Houston is 6-and-4 and still holds onto first place in the AFC South. “But we got the opportunity to seize control of the game late and take a hard-earned win”. “We should have won the game, we are trying to win every game”. “In this game, unusual things happen but you just have to keep pushing”.
The refs struck again in the fourth quarter on a critical Texans’ drive with the score tied 20-20. Lamar Miller ran for 104 yards and a 1-yard score in the third quarter. Despite the challenge flag from head coach Bill O’Brien, the ruling was upheld, handing possession to Oakland. Janikowski purposely left the kickoff short, and Texans rookie Tyler Ervin ran up to field it but had it bounce off his chest.
“I never want to say one thing is a difference-maker”, Osweiler said.
“I enjoy winning”, Olawale said.
With the big plays he’s delivered, Carr said he doesn’t believe Olawale will be able to take teams by surprise anymore.
Quarterback Derek Carr threw for just 295 total yards, but most of it wasn’t to his trusty receivers. From DeAndre Hopkins’ phantom heel out of bounds that cost the Texans a touchdown to some questionable spots in the fourth quarter that cost the Texans a first down, things definitely were frustrating Monday night.
Houston got in great position to regain the lead but got aggressive and didn’t get any help from the officials.
The Texans paid for that error the past two seasons with middling to lousy quarterback play as Carr began to blossom.
“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us”, Penn said.

The Texans defense had an outstanding start, allowing just seven net yards rushing until halftime and keeping the Oakland Raiders to just three points off a pair of Houston turnovers.
Houston’s pass defense entered the game ranked third in the NFL and the Texans had a rush defense that was among the worst in the league.
“The Raider Nation showed up tonight, ” coach Jack Del Rio said.
Mexican fans welcomed the NFL in raucous fashion, and it probably won’t be the last time Azteca Stadium hosts American football.
At 10:57 in the fourth and with his team down by seven, Carr stepped up when it counted most.
