Official Texans vs. Jags Game Thread, 12/30/2018

[Keith]

Mike Tyson block in the back on Chark leads to a fumbled punt return by DeAndre Carter, 12:03 remaining in the 1st quarter. Ball at Texans' 9.

[Arky]

Texans hold the Jags to a FG after the terrible interference call that was recovered by the Jags. A guy has to have room to fair catch the ball - just not right.

Jags 3, Texans 0

10:08 left in the 1st qtr.

[Arky]

Texans put a drive together and get denied at the goal line. Settle for the FG. Fairbairn good from 23.

Texans 3, Jags 3

5:20 left in the 1st qtr.

[Arky]

Jags cough up the Texan punt and the Texans recover. Pass interference on newcomer WR Steven Mitchell, Jr. sets up Texans at the Jag 10. 2nd and goal at the Jax 5 coming up as the 1st qtr ends.

Next play, Watson keeps for the 5 yard TD.

Texans 10, Jags 3

14:56 left in the half.

[Keith]

Steven Mitchell Jr. is the injury replacement for Demaryius Thomas. Did a great job drawing a DPI call on the Texans TD drive. Reportedly ran a 4.44 forty at his pro day. Combined with Vyncint Smith, some speed options to go opposite Hopkins.

[Arky]

Miller punches it in from 8 yards for the TD.

Texans 17, Jags 3

3:01 left in the half.

-------------------------------------------

Texans defense looks pissed off (good).

Watson running/keeping more than normal....

[Arky]

Halftime and the score remains:

Texans 17, Jags 3

--------------------------------------------

Pats 21, Jets 3

Panthers 23, Saints 0

[Arky]

An uneventful 3rd qtr.

Personal foul penalty by the Jags on a FG attempt leads another series of downs but ultimately another FG attempt. Fairbairn good from 24.

Texans 20, Jags 3

10:52 left in the game.

NYG 25, Cowboys 21 (10:38 left)
