Official Texans @ Eagles Game Thread, 12/23/2018

JJo out with a neck injury. The secondary already lost Kareem and Wright's replacement Kayvon Webster earlier this game.

And like that... TD to Agholor.

83-yards.

Eagles 23 Texans 16

Third quarter ends Texans still down 23-16 but driving. A couple nice passes from Watson to Hopkins have the offense on the move.

The lack of a creditable rushing offense and the lack of healthy cornerbacks telling the story to this point. Going to need the pass rush to step up on defense in the fourth quarter.

Thanks. I was filling out what was left of my picks in the pickem contest. Missed 7 of the early games. Could've sworn I completed them earlier. Oh well.

Texans trying to answer....

Oy, D Thomas injured. Davenport with the block in the back. Texans 1st and 20 in Philly territory. End of the 3rd qtr.

Check down to Ertz goes for the TD after the Watson strip sack fumble. 23 yards.

Extra point no good.

After an Eagle turnover, the Texans finally find the end zone in the 2nd half. Watson hits Foreman on the 20-yard TD pass.

Oh my god. Watson hits V Smith on the 35 yard deep pass! Texans can take the lead with the extra point.

Let's go defense!

Colts pull one out of their butt. Win 28-27 over the Giants.

Wowowowwwwww… it a GD Christmas miracle.

Watson escaping amazing.
Amazing Hop receptions.

Fantastic TD reception by Vyncint Smith.

[Arky]

Philly drives down has a chance for the game winning FG with 3 seconds left. It will be a 35-yarder.

Eliot's FG is good.

Final score:

Eagles 32, Texans 30

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

Just a fantastic and admirable comeback by Watson. This team has flaws and now some new injuries to deal with. When you win the turnover battle 3-1, you really shouldn't lose. Foles had 471 passings yards. Ertz and Agholor were a combined 17 for 226 yards.

Gotta have the win at home against Jax - needed it anyway......

(I think this is right):

Pittsburgh losing assures the Texans of a playoff spot. They need to beat the Jags to hang on to the #3 seed (or a win and the Pats losing to the Jets for the #2 seed). A Texan loss to the Jags will keep them from winning the division (Indy vs. Tenn winner would get that) but not from the playoffs....
