O’Brien can smile after win, healthier team outlook

Fortunately, somewhere between Charlotte last Sunday and NRG yesterday, the Texans’ offensive line found its balls, Alfred Blue found some patience, and the defense executed its finishing move of frazzling a young quarterback.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Winston said it was a “cheap” play. Some people will suggest that you take a “win” in the National Football League and just be happy, but the performance on the field has me more concerned than ever about a Houston team that I have embraced and supported since their inception.

“It feels good”, Mallett said.

Last week, quarterback Ryan Mallet threw 58 passes.

Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza contributed to Houston’s cause, missing three field-goal attempts in the second half after nailing a 58-yarder in the first half. Four plays later, Blue ran for a 20-yard touchdown to give Houston a 16-9 lead early in the fourth quarter.

The Texans defense added one takeway with an interception of Jameis Winston and held Tampa Bay to just one third-down conversion on 12 attempts.

“As a runner, I just got in the zone of running the ball”, Blue said.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hauls in a pass as… Who will win this game?

Hopkins said it was the second concussion of his career in the NFL. They do have offensive talent with DeAndre Hopkins and Nate Washington as their key receivers and a backfield committee of Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes, and Chris Polk. Evans, the seventh overall pick in 2014, made his season debut last week after sitting out the first game with a hamstring injury in Week 1. The Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, and your Houston Texans all fought to prevent low odds from turning into an insurmountable hole. Winston throws the pass slightly behind Evans instead of in front of him, leading to an easy pick for Demps. Houston CB Johnathan Joseph tied career high with five passes defensed….

O’Brien also noted they aren’t anxious about the short turnaround getting ready for the Colts on Thursday after the Sunday game with the Falcons. “Like I said, we have to go to the practice field and come out here on game day and show it”. I think his mechanics were better.

– Standing outside of a victorious locker room, Texans owner Bob McNair was in a good mood after his team defeated the Buccaneers.

“All the things that losing teams do, we did today”, Tampa Bay head coach Lovie Smith said. “It happens, simple as that”.
