Weeden runs for TD, throws 2 more as Texans rout Titans 34

Weeden was not even on the roster for the Texans when the season began, now the former Oklahoma State quart back starts on Sunday against the Titans. I talk to people that I trust who have gone through the situation and then you make the best educated decision.

Nowadays, though, when he two teams meet, that level of fire no longer exists. He threw for just 174 yards and an interception in that contest with a quarterback rating of 70.8.

Defensive end J.J. Watt leads the way for the Texans, as he has 68 tackles and is second in the National Football League with 14.5 sacks.

I will be the first one to tell you that I would never have believed the Houston Texans would be in this position after their 2-5 start.

In short, until Marcus Mariota can stay healthy for a whole season, these Titan games are now a speed bump for the Texans. It would have also been their first scoreless game at home since relocating from Houston to Nashville.

The first-place Texans (7-7), who are seeking their third AFC South title, beat the Colts 16-10 last Sunday – their first-ever win in Indianapolis.

Winners and losers yesterday go like this…

“Brandon has done a really good job, he did”, O’Brien said.

The Texans scored again a few minutes later on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Weeden to receiver Nate Washington to make it 31-0.

The only good thing for the Titans was allowing just the one sack to Watt after Zach Mettenberger was sacked seven times in the first game between the teams November 1. Here’s what I mean…

Those two receptions were the only two times either Ryan Griffin or C.J. Fiedorowicz was targeted against Tennessee, so at least they didn’t drop passes like each player was guilty of many times earlier in the season. I know I’ll come back. Well, you would have, oh ye of little faith! “They got me to the Pro Bowl, so it’s definitely not frustrating at all”.

In fact, the whole division is a mess when it comes to quarterbacks outside of Jacksonville Jaguars starter Blake Bortles.

Another fumble on a punt by the Titans’ Harry Douglas handed Houston the ball at the Tennessee 11 yard line.

DeAndre Hopkins continues to be their lead receiving threat. That’s why we play the game. “I liked what I saw in the locker room prior (to the game)”. Although Clowney initially reacted angrily to the injury, he later said he would be fine. That wasn’t the big story.

The Jets did their part, beating the Patriots in overtime just now. Reece will miss the season finale Sunday against Kansas City and the first three games of the 2016 season. Before this game, the previous low for rushing yards by a Houston opponent was 50 by the New Orleans Saints and the Colts. He’s 0-9. Oddly enough, four of Mettenberger’s nine starts have come against the Texans.
