Official Texans @ Raiders Game Thread, 10/23/2022
The 1-3-1 Texans head out to Las Vegas this Sunday to take on the 1-4 Raiders in an afternoon game on CBS. Both teams are coming off their bye and should be well rested.
The Raiders 4 losses have been by a combined 14 points, i.e., close losses. They may be a team fixing to break out..... QB Derek Carr is having an OK to good year so far - 113/184, 61.4% comp., 1279 yards, 8 TDs, 4 INTs, 87.7 rating. Josh Jacobs gets the bulk of the RB duties - 490 yards, 5.4 avg, 3 TDs. Carr has all-world WR Davante Adams (414 yds, 5 TDs) to throw to and he will also go to WR Mack Hollins (273 yds, 1 TD) and TE Darren Waller (175 yds, 1 TD) among others. The Raider defense is 27th vs. the pass (yds/att) and 6th vs. the run (ypc). I have no idea how the Texans will do here.... they're a young team coming off a bye, new head coach, on the road, against a Raiders team hungry for wins.... Doesn't look good so hoping for a disciplined, hard fought win or loss - don't beat yourself. Getting blown out would be a disappointment but not shocking.... -------------------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS (channel 11 local), 3:05 pm CST, Sunday, October 23, 2022 Announcers = Greg Gumbel, Adam Archuleta The line = Raiders by 6½ to 7½ ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: FOX (early) = NY Giants @ Jacksonville, Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth FOX (late) = Kansas City @ San Francisco, Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------- Prime time: TNF = New Orleans @ Arizona (Amazon) SNF = Pittsburgh @ Miami (NBC) MNF = Chicago @ New England (ESPN)

I don't think the Texans have much of a chance here. I could be talked into taking the points, though. I think for the Texans to win, Davis Mills will have to turn the corner. Raiders are tough against the run so Dameon Pierce might have a long day. Texans have a better chance of winning through the air, IMO. Sure would like to see more attempts 20+ yards down the field....

Derek Carr replaced for a play by Jarrett Stidham following a hit to his left side.
Jogged back into the game after Stidham's handoff. Carr complete a few times (3-41) to Davante Adams, setting up Carlson for the 50-yd field goal. 0-3 Raiders, 9:54 1st Q Texans answer by missing their own 39-yd field goal attempt. 0-3 Raiders, 4:40 1st Q

Mills improvising on a first down with a creative shovel pass to Dameon Pierce.
Pierce, btw, doing it all, some tough, hard-fought yardage, getting gains where there is little to get. Couple short third down runs to get firsts. 9 rushes, 32 yards (3-20 receiving) thus far isn't telling the whole story. Brevin Jordan made a special catch in the end zone but came down out of bounds. Nice to see the potential though. Touchdown pass, Davis Mills to Chris Moore. 13 yards. Extra point good. Texans 7-3, 11:17 remaining 2nd Q. Mills 10-12 for 87 yds and a TD to start.

Off the hands of Brandin Cooks on third down, incomplete. Cooks is the subject of several trade rumors in spite of signing the recent 2-yr contract extension (thru 2024) that included $36 million guaranteed. Starting to think that where there is smoke on these trade rumors, there's fire. Meaning, Cooks' bud Jack Easterby, was recently fired, so if Cooks can be flipped for a 2nd rounder, so be it.
Fairbairn converts the field goal attempt from 55 yards. Pierce now 12-64 rushing. Mills 111.8 QBR. Texans 10-3, 4:57 2nd Q
