Official Texans @ Lions Game Thread, 11/22/2012

[HPF Bob]

After their first quarter nap, the Texans offense comes to life. 37-yd pass to AJ, Forsett and Foster cut back runs and Foster takes it in from 7 yards out. 7-7 game early in the second quarter. You can tell Nance and Simms are trying to will a close game from the Lions instead of the usual Thanksgiving turkey.

Suh needs to be reigned in by the NFL. That kick wasn't extreme but he needs to learn you don't kick people in the nfl.

Stafford hits Calvin Johnson three times then hits Pettigrew before connecting with Mike Thomas (former Jaguar) for the short touchdown. 14-7 Detroit. Six minutes until halftime. Ball had a chance for a pick in the end zone but dropped it.

Texans answer with AJ's juggling catch and some short throws culminate in a 9-yd TD throw to OD into the end zone. 14-14 tie late in the second.

[barrett]

No pass rush and no JJ is trouble.

Not to mention we are now down 4 defensive starters. This is starting to cross over into long term concern.

Two long throws get the Lions their third TD. Calvin Johnson leaps over Ball. Texans flub the final two minutes before it goes to Kid Rock and a long holiday halftime.

Houston 14
Detroit 21

Texans do nothing on first possession of second half. Punt to the Lions who hold on the return.

That was hilarious. I can't bring myself to feel bad about it.

Lions drive for a FG to make it 24-14 but now Forsett gallops to a long TD to pull Houston within 24-21.
