Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 12/18/2016
It's Week 15 and the 2-11 Jacksonville Jaguars come to NRG for a noon Sunday game. The Jags haven't won a game in 2 months but they've been close a number of times this year. Six of their losses have been by 7 or less points. QB Blake Bortles has thrown for 3187 yards and completes 58.7% of his passes. He's thrown for 21 TDs, 15 INTs and has a 77.9 rating. The Jag running game consists of TJ Yeldon (432 yds, 3.6 avg), Chris Ivory (350 yds, 3.8 avg), Denard Robinson (127 yds, 3.4 avg) and Bortles himself (336 yds, 6.7 avg). Leading targets in the passing game are Marqise Lee (728 yds), Allen Robinson (639 yds), Allen Hurns (477 yds), Julius Thomas (281 yds) and Yeldon (278 yds) out of the backfield. The Jags defense has the interesting dichotomy of being a respectable 5th overall allowing 316.4 yds/gm but 27th allowing 26 points/gm. The Jags are coming off a 25-16 home loss to the Vikings.
The Texans won a road game last week beating the Indianapolis Colts 22-17. They need a win to help their chances of winning the AFC South. The Texans won the first meeting this year @Jacksonville, 24-21. ----------------------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon CST, Sunday 12-18-2016 Announcers = Andrew Catalon, Steve Beuerlein, Steve Tasker The Line = Texans by 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (late) = New England @ Denver, Jim Nantz, Phil Simms FOX (late) = New Orleans @ Arizona, Chris Myers, Ronde Barber ----------------------------------------------------------------- Prime time: TNF = Los Angeles @ Seattle (NBC; NFLN) Saturday Night = Miami @ NY Jets (NFLN) SNF = Tampa Bay @ Dallas (NBC) MNF = Carolina @ Washington (ESPN) |

We are so beat up I don't know if we can field a complete team for this game ? Fido is turning into a poor mans Gronc but he's out and our best LB Mercilus is also unlikley to play. It doesn't look good.

Could be worse, I suppose. Could be playing in KC where the high tomorrow is a balmy 12ºF..... |

And the temperatures still had a few more degrees to drop before sunrise. By 7 a.m., Kansas City hit minus-9 degrees, tying the third-coldest reading this century. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local...#storylink=cpy Mariota, a Hawaiian boy, has surely never experienced those kinds of conditions in his lifetime so if he and his Titans teammates can beat the Chiefs in those weather conditions they deserve to win the AFC South which I think they will do if they win today. |
