Official Texans @ Giants Game Thread, 11/13/2022
The 1-6-1 Texans hit the road to take on the 6-2 New York Giants in an early game Sunday on CBS. The Giants are coming off a 27-13 road loss to the Seahawks, the Texans are coming off a 29-17 home loss to the Eagles on TNF.
Quarterbacking the Giants is Daniel Jones (143/220, 65% comp, 174.9 yds/gm, 6 TDs, 2 INTs, 88.0 rating). Top rusher is Saquon Barkley - 779 yds, 4.8 avg, 97.4 avg/gm. Jones himself has 363 yards rushing. The top receivers are WR Darius Slayton (232 yards, 14.5 avg) and WR Richie James (191 yards, 9.6 avg.). Barkley also has 189 yards receiving. The Giants defense is rated 3rd in the league vs. passing (6.3 yds/att) and 23rd vs. the rush (4.9 ypc). The Texans might be able to run on these guys. The Texan defense is concerning - their finest hour so far was when they held the Jags to 6 pts a month ago. At least LB Christian Harris is in the fold and getting some playing time. There is a buzz that the Giants may be overrated and not as good as their record indicates. Guess we'll find out.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS (channel 11 local), Sunday, noon CST, November 13, 2022 Announcers = Ian Eagle, Charles Davis The line = Giants by 4½ to 5 (bet down from 7, sharps are on the Texans) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: FOX (early) = Minnesota @ Buffalo, Joe Davis, Daryl Johnston FOX (late) = Dallas @ Green Bay, Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prime time: TNF = Atlanta @ Carolina (Amazon) Sunday (morning) = Seattle vs Tampa Bay (in Munich) (NFLN; Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Michael Irvin), 8:30 am CST SNF = LA Chargers @ San Francisco (NBC) MNF = Washington @ Philadelphia (ESPN)

Pierce was listed on Wednesday's practice report as "limited" with a chest/should injury. Doesn't seem to be at much of a risk for missing the next game, but I'm curious to see how it may restrict his otherwise angry running style.
Rex Burkhead is still listed behind Pierce on the depth chart, but if Pierce were to miss any carries at all, sure would be nice to see Dare Ogunbowale take them instead of Rex. Ogunbowale had those 5 late receptions for 54 yards against the Raiders three weeks ago, then basically nothing the next two games against the Titans and Eagles. Also, Brandin "Chamin Soft" Cooks finished pouting about not being traded and attended practice this week. Will be interesting to see how involved he is in the gameplan. I wonder too how his teammates feel about his absence last week.

This is the sort of game for the offense though where you're glad they can't score negative points. Thankful to be down by just a touchdown.

The Texan defense has stiffened a bit... They are keeping the Giants from scoring. However, the Texans are having trouble moving the ball. 4 total passing yards. lol
Giants are now pinned on their 3 thanks to a fine punt by Johnston. 2:10 left in the half. Still 7-3.

Giants 14, Texans 10 8:06 left in the 3rd qtr. ---------------------------------------- Davis Mills good half/bad half act is puzzling.... Hopefully, I didn't jinx him....

Fairbairn good from 46.
Giants 24, Texans 16 7 seconds left. --------------------------------------------- Onside kick recovered by the Giants. End of game. -------------------------------------------- The Giants don't appear to be all that but they beat the Texans. Barkley was 35/152 for a 4.3 avg. That's a lot of carries. Meh. Unfortunately, the Texan defense made the QB (Jones) look like Joe Montana - 13/17, 197 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 153.3 rating (!). Pressure on Mills was a big factor. The Texan OL is pretty bad in pass protect. The Texans had 2 turnovers, the Giants none. Up next is the Washingtons at NRG. Early line is Washington by 2½.
