The Houston Texans (6-2) travel to East Rutherford, NJ for a Thursday Night tilt against Aaron Rodgers and the struggling New York Jets (2-6).
A team that was built for a Super Bowl run this season is now staring at another season of missing the playoffs following their 5th straight loss Sunday, 25-22 to the New England Patriots. This one was baffling especially when you consider New York did not turn the ball over and held the Patriots to 247 total yards. They are the first team to not turn the ball over, hold their opponent to under 250 total yards, and lose the game since…the Packers with Aaron Rodgers in 2012. Between these Aaron Rodgers’ masterpieces, teams doing the above had gone 220-0.
The Texans’ lead in the AFC South grew to two games following their 23-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. One week after throwing for less than 100 yards in Houston’s loss to Green Bay, C.J. Stroud threw for 285 yards in the win over their division rival. Joe Mixon rushed for 102 yards and a TD as well. Off to a tremendous start to his career in Houston, the Texans’ RB1 has rushed for over 100 yards in 4 of his 1st 5 games he has played with the team. He is the 1st running back in NFL history to do so.
While the Texans are sitting pretty atop AFC South, the Jets are now 4 games behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.
