New Orleans Saints v. Houston Texans NFL football game today

Credit them, but surely I think when we put the tape on we’re going to see a lot of things we need to clean up offensively. “I’ve said this before this is a good locker room and we just have to be better at what we are doing and look closely at eliminating mistakes that are being repeated and evaluate those”. “We started simplifying things and playing hard. Just had a bad taste in our mouth from a couple of those games and just internally promised each other it wouldn’t happen again”.

He had two more sacks Sunday, increasing his season total to an NFL-leading 13.5.

The Saints quarterback remembered that game, but didn’t realize he was part of Watt’s first sack.

Not since coach Sean Payton and Drew Brees teamed up in New Orleans in 2006 had the Saints failed to score a touchdown – a streak of 155 games that ranked second in National Football League history. The Colts are hanging on gamely, but the Texans have a full head of steam with wins in their last three games.

The last time the Saints did not score an offensive touchdown in a game was the forgettable season opener on September 6, 2007 when the Saints lost 41-10 to the Colts at Indianapolis.

It was a thorough beating from a punishing Texans defense that prevented Brees from throwing a touchdown pass and intercepted him once during a 24-6 victory Sunday at NRG Stadium. It seemed as if most of the game, we were in those long-yardage situations.

And then it was J.J. Watt time. “That’s a very high powered offense with a very talented quarterback”. Houston finally has a healthy Brian Cushing back, and Jadeveon Clowney is starting to find his rhythm.

It’s their fourth straight win, and keeps them atop the AFC South at 6-5.

With the pressure being applied by the Texans, and then factoring in a key interception by Jackson at the goal line and a fourth down stand in the red zone, the Saints were never able to punch one into the end zone. Their 24-6 loss at Houston on Sunday was their third straight. It was the sixth time in seven games that he had at least two touchdown passes. The Texans were the only team in the league to not score on their opening drive.

The Texans scored on their first possession of the game after holding the visitors on their first possession.

Houston padded the lead in the second quarter when Hoyer hit Cecil Shorts from 3yards out, making the score 14-0 after Novak kicked the extra point.

But the defense settled the rest of the half, producing a turnover (Jairus Byrd’s interception, his first as a Saint) and three punts. Drew Brees threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns in 19 of 28 passes. I thought particularly offensively we hurt our defense.

Brian Hoyer completed 21 of his 27 pass attempts for 205 yards and a touchdown.

With Watt, 2014 top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney and an experienced secondary, Houston’s defense was supposed to be the strength of the team entering the season.

“I figured ol’ Les was going to stay there”, Blue said.

“I think that’s encouraging to some degree because they will have that experience”.

In the second of three games to take place on Thursday, the Carolina Panthers continued to make their case that they could potentially end the regular season with a ideal record, with a 33-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
