A very rare AFC South sweep.

Let's hope this is not the only Houston win today.

Texans are banged up and have to play in London next week against Jackassville.

If you want a good chuckle, watch a play from the Titans-Bucs game. The Tampa Bay runner takes a handoff near the Tennessee goal line and gets wiped out by the wide receiver crossing on the jet sweep fake. Looks like a play the Dolphins might run.

You'll see the play at the 4:26 mark of the highlights.

Per NBC, J.J. Watt is getting an MRI tonight on his injured shoulder.

Was at the game so haven't seen the broadcast. Raiders fans still travel well. What with all the expenses for their Halloween makeup it's surprising they can still afford the tickets.

J.J. Watt torn pec muscle and done for the season. An understatement to say this will make an already questionable pass rush even more impotent. Laremy Tunsil also missed significant time for a shoulder injury, I think. And last but not least all the cornerback injuries really caught up to the team today. Man coverage with what was left was dicey.

This game was proof though that in the NFL today if you have the right quarterback, you have every chance to win. Watson taking a cleat to the face and still executing the RPO to find his tight end for the game-winning touchdown was quintessential Watson.

5-3 at the midpoint. A trip to London to face the Jags then the bye. Fun stretch then @ Baltimore and home for the Colts and Patriots will define the second half and likely the playoff hopes and positioning.

Wow did not think we'd win that game, but more heroics by Watson and how about that TE Fells ? Those two made some really big plays together.
Last time JJ was out for the year we had a guy named JD Clowney to take up the slack and provide some QB pressure. Thanks for getting rid of JDC,
you are a sorry SOB O'Brien.
Jesus I just hope O'Brien doesn't trade away our last few remaining Draft picks for the next couple years before the trade deadline tomorrow afternoon ?

There's definitely no such thing as a bad road win in the NFL. We didn't look good yesterday but won.
