Brian Hoyer out, Brandon Weeden to start for Texans
For the Texans to clinch, the following must happen: A win or tie at Tennessee (3-11) with an Indianapolis Colts loss at Miami.
When we watch the Texans game live streaming or on TV today, Houston will start Brandon Weedon at quarterback with Brian Hoyer having not cleared concussion protocol. Weeden then started the next three games before he was benched in favor of Matt Cassel.
The Texans could be crowned division champions today with Brandon Weeden at the helm. Their appearance in the Playoffs this season will be their first since the 2012 season, and comes as a surprise as not many had predicted the Redskins would take the NFC East at the start of the season.
Weeden’s arrival in Houston came after a terrible time replacing Tony Romo for the Cowboys which led to his release. Demps had no one in front of him on a 33-yard cruise into the end zone for an early touchdown.
Racking up a quarterback rating of 116.7, Weeden broke the game open in the third quarter with scoring strikes of 15 and 13 yards to wide receivers DeAndre Watkins and Nate Washington, respectively. The Texans defense sacked Mettenberger a franchise high seven times in their last meeting. I just keep working to get better and feeling better. However, at the moment the Redskins may just want to enjoy the fact that they’re back in the postseason and whoever it turns out they face, what will be will be.
There are milestones for today’s week 16 match-up with the 7-7 Texans, but majority are negative and somewhat paradoxical in nature.
