New Orleans Saints get owned by Houston Texans for third-straight loss

Following the Texans’ 24-6 dismantling of the New Orleans Saints, Watt (with two more sacks on Sunday) now has 70.5 sacks in 75 career games.

Jackson has been a starter for the Texans since they selected him with the 20 choice in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Brian Hoyer will be back in action when the Texans take on the Saints.

“I felt like he got after us a few times today, but the situations lent themselves to allowing him the opportunity to go after us”, Brees said.

The New Orleans Saints changed defensive coordinators, had two weeks to prepare, but as Led Zeppelin proclaimed, the song remains the same.

While the Saints haven’t been their usual selves this season, OddsShark.com has numbers that say they could bounce back this week.

Former Hahnville and LSU Tiger Alfred Blue ran for 77 yards and a touchdown as Houston soundly defeated New Orleans, 24-6.

After the game, Saints head coach Sean Payton didn’t go on a rant like Mora did all of those years ago, but he SHOULD HAVE.

JACKSON’S ROADBLOCK: Houston’s Kareem Jackson returned after missing four games with an ankle injury and intercepted Brees at the goal line in the third quarter and returned it 50 yards.

The defense wasn’t wonderful and was gashed at times, but it was the lowest point total allowed in over a month. But Brees did not cost his team the game. Griffin missed seven games on short-term injured reserve, and the touchdown marked the Texans’ first score on an opening possession this season….

The Saints are 1-5 on the road this season.

Bouncing back from a 30-13 loss to Green Bay, Minnesota (8-3) jumped ahead on Peterson’s 1-yard run in the opening quarter, and clinched it when he got loose on a 35-yard scamper down the sideline with 4:15 remaining in the game.

With their win today, the Indianapolis Colts stay atop the AFC South, though the Houston Texans just keep winning and waiting for the Colts to falter. Watt became the second-fastest player in league history to reach 70 sacks (Reggie White, 57 games).

“Give a lot of credit to their defense and their plan”, Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who finished 25-for-44 for 228 yards and one interception, said. “The second one was an example of the quarterback trusting me, putting the ball there and me making a great play”. The Saints faced third-and-long 10 times, including third-and-10-plus yards eight times.

Coming off of a heartbreaking 22-17 home loss to the Buffalo Bills, dropping them to 5-4 and knocking them out of the wild-card, the New York Jets needed a win in the worst way against the Houston Texans last Sunday.

The offense came out and drove the ball with consistency, and then Hoyer made a awful pass that was inaccurate over the middle for an interception.

While he possesses plenty of potential and should be a long-term answer at tackle once Zach Strief moves on, he was beaten by Texans defensive end J.J. Houston held New Orleans to just 268 yards of total offense.

-Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is still hunting for his first touchdown this season. Houston WR DeAndre Hopkins caught a pass in his 43rd straight game and finished with five receptions for 36 yards.
