John McClain’s guide to Texans vs. Chargers

I believe that Melvin Gordon will have a big game against a far-from-perfect Texans defense, and ultimately lead San Diego to a close win this Sunday in Houston. Osweiler passed for 246 yards, but suffered three more interceptions.

After Brock Osweiler threw his second interception on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, a chorus of boos rained down on the Houston Texans quarterback, another reminder of how hard this year has been for the free agent with the hefty salary.

The Texans felt the wrath of the officiating again on Sunday, but it wasn’t ball placement and replay reviews that were the cause of the issues.

“We’re gonna be in the game with five minutes to play and there are only two outcomes that will happen from there”, said Rivers. “We should’ve kept coming with a lot more pressure out there, but the game got away from us”.

San Diego, now 5-6, plays at home against Tampa Bay next week. Kareem Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit on the play, leaving San Diego at the 12-yard line. Casey Hayward came up with his league-leading sixth interception of the year and safeties Dwight Lowery and Dexter McCoil each had a pick of the struggling Osweiler as well.

Houston added a field goal with 37 seconds left and recovered an onside kick.

The last time the Texans and the Chargers squared off was in the 2013 season opener in the late Monday night game.

O’Brien said he wouldn’t be benched but didn’t elaborate, and Osweiler took the blame for the loss. “Over 3,000 for 11 seasons, that means I’ve been out there for all of them”.

“How he played and how he would take what the defense would give him”. For the first time since the opening quarter of the Titans game, the Texans were able to methodically put together multiple drives against a non-prevent defense within the flow of the game. He’s failed to play consistently throughout his first season in Houston after leaving to Denver to sign a $72 million contract. He also said he didn’t think there was one particular flaw behind his 13 interceptions this season. “I know their personnel a little bit”, Osweiler said. This is a game that is very important to both teams. He got good protection overall from the guys up front and was not sacked. So the Colts would need to win their final two AFC South games and have the Texans lose their final three in order to win that tiebreaker.
