Hello, Texans fans. Another win to celebrate this week! That’s more like it… kinda.
For part of the game on Sunday, we weren’t sure if we’d be able to say that. The Houston Texans certainly didn’t play their best football and it nearly cost them. Once again, a lot of the mistakes were self-inflicted. For the third week in a row, the Texans had at least 11 penalties or more. It helped lead to a Jacksonville lead in the 4th quarter, but C.J. Stroud came to the rescue.

Late in the ball game, the Texans QB1 drove the home team down the field setting up a goal-line opportunity which ultimately was capped off by Dare Ogubawale. The Texans completed the comeback advancing to 3-1 on the season.

The Texans reached their quarter-point goal of reaching at least three wins, but it’s fair to also point out there is a lot of room for improvement, fortunately, the things the Texans need to clean up can be addressed following another win.
Pre-snap penalties continue to plague the Texans. In fact, Houston leads the league in that category. The Texans could also benefit from an improvement in the run game, which will likely come once Joe Mixon returns from his ankle injury which could happen as early as this week.
While Dare had the game-winner, the game hero was Nico Collins. #12 continues to lead the league in receiving yards as Sunday he had a monster 12 catch, 151 yards and one touchdown performance. At this rate, he is on pace for over 2,000 yards.
