Osweiler struggles again as Chargers beat Texans 21-13
It’s a different story with the Texans, however, as the Texans now hold the head-to-head tiebreaker record and the best the Colts can do is neutralize it (by winning their absolutely huge mid-December matchup with Houston).
Regardless, the Texans can only do what they can control, and that starts off today with a win against the Chargers. The difference between a win and loss can happen in fraction of the plays. More out of need than anything. 71,897 fans at NRG Stadium voiced their displeasure at the less than impressive play by their team numerous times with resounding boos.
The Texan defense has been lights out all season long. As a whole Houston committed 4 turnovers, they allowed Philip Rivers and a patchwork offense to run up and down the field with little pressure.
“Studying other great quarterbacks is something that I always do and I still do”, Osweiler said.
“A lot of defensive holding calls and then obviously we got probably two or three or four defensive offsides so that’s not good”, Bill O’Brien said. The game ended on an Osweiler interception. This has me intrigued and leaning towards picking the Chargers.
Louis Gorini (8-2): “The Houston Texans play like a completely different team when they are home”. But as you can see, there’s a very reasonable scenario in which they could be in first place in just two weeks – but that would require them to string together some wins. The Chargers look to be getting healthier after the bye, with the return of Perryman and Benjamin. That can be a frightening number to second year running back Melvin Gordon. Osweiler will have trouble keeping up with Rivers and the San Diego offense. “From the time I signed to now, that respect hasn’t changed”. Containing Lamar Miller is the key to winning. It creates hunger. I think that’s a part of it. Have thoughts on how the Texans and Chargers are performing?
The Houston Texans (6-4) lost against the Oakland Raiders, 27-20, last week.
“That to me is a team achievement, ” he said.
San Diego would score two touchdowns in the final 11:11 of the second quarter building a 14-7 lead going into the locker room.
Phillip Rivers threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns to help San Diego improve to 5-6.
Brock Osweiler’s poor play on Sunday will not result in him losing his job.
The highest scoring offense in the National Football League improved to 5-6 while the Houston Texans slipped to 6-5 maintaining a one game lead over the surging Tennessee Titans. The Chargers’ previous excursion to the Lone Star State resulted in a 29-23 triumph in 2010.
“The thing about coach O’Brien, this system is very hard and, as you guys see week in and week out”.
