Official Texans vs. Commanders Game Thread, 11/20/2022
 

It's Week 11 of 18 and the 5-5 Washington Comanches (sounds better) come to NRG this Sunday to take on the 1-7-1 Houston Texans in an early game Sunday on FOX. Washington is coming off a 32-21 road victory over the Eagles on MNF. The Texans are coming off a 24-16 road loss to the Giants.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke is 3-1 since taking over for Carson Wentz. He's 75/121, 62% completion, 840 yards, 5 TDs, 4 INTs and 82.7 rating. Top rushers are Antonio Gibson - 372 yds, 3.6 avg. and Brian Robinson - 305 yds, 3.3 avg. Leading the receiving corps is Terry McLaurin 46/737, 16.0 avg and Curtis Samuel 47/483, 10.3 avg. The Washington defense is rated 11th vs. the run and 15th vs. the pass (both yds/game).

Washington is in a bit of a letdown situation here, after their big upset victory over the Eagles. The Texans, however, have a way of not taking advantage of situations. For the Texans, they'll need to win the turnover battle, play 4 quarters and show something on both sides of the ball - big plays have been sorely lacking this year.

Wow that was stinker !
We've pretty much been in most of the games this year but
this game seemed to be over by early in the second quarter so today felt a lot like some of the blowouts last year and that's a crappy feeling.
