Foster TFL'ed -6. Makes it 2nd and 16.

Tate gets 5. Makes it 3rd and 11.

Tate is TFL'ed for -3. Texans to probably go for the FG.

End of the 3rd quarter...

End around to JJ doesn't get much.... Texans have to punt with under 9 minutes left in the game.

Bucs fair catch at their 18 with 8:20 left in the game.

I hate that rule, and not just because Kubiak is clueless about when to challenge. I know they claim to review every touchdown play but I don't think they are always paying attention. I also don't like the "no red flags in the final two minutes rule" either.

Texans 37, Bucs 9

5:38 left in the game.

I bet Kubes gets the rule straight, now... ;)

The Bucs desperately needed this game and the Texans didn't. Yet the Texans march into town and calmly beat the shit out of the home team.

This is as impressive a win as I can remember.

Hartmann's kickoff goes out of the endzone. Bucs ball at their 20.

Bucs fumble the handoff, Texans recover!

Final score:

Texans 37, Bucs 9

7-3 going into the bye is nice.....

That. Was. Impressive.

Can't wait for the stretch run. With the way our D is playing, its going to be a fun ride.

Bye week is coming at a great time. Get some people healed up, get AJ back on track, and ready to make a run.

Finally, it will be exciting to be a Texan fan in late November and December.

:D

Oh, and uh......WOW!
@briancushing56: "I'll turn it up a little bit more once we return from the bye week." #Texans

Excellent win. Went on the road an took care of business. Hope they heal up this week yet don't lose their edge.

Falcons and Bengals both lost so our future opponents are being fattened up for the slaughter.

The Bengals are better than I thought they were and the Falcons not as good.

Bengals lost thier top CB (Leon Hall) for the season with a torn achilles.
