Luton runs it in from 13 for the Jags.

Try for 2 fails.

Texans 27, Jags 25

1:30 left in the game.

Texans get the onside kick and run out the clock.

Final score:

Texans 27, Jags 25

Well, at least there's ONE team in the NFL the Texans can beat. Maybe the Jets could be the other.

Seems the offense is the two-steps-and-run-for-your-life attack.

At least the Texans can promote themselves as being Luton-free.This game would have mattered if we had our own draft picks.

Early line has the Browns as a 2½ pt favorite over the Texans in Cleveland next Sunday. Seems a little low especially with the Browns rested up and coming off their bye week....

Their quarterback has covid.

I mean, he's obviously faking the whole thing after receiving a handsome payment from George Soros, but I think the point is he may not play.

Which now that I reflect on it makes me wonder why bookmakers think that disadvantages the Browns.

There are worse things than getting COVID. Living in Cleveland is one of them.

ESPN is saying "The Cleveland Browns have placed quarterback Baker Mayfield on the reserve/COVID-19 list after the quarterback came into contact with a staff member who tested positive Saturday for the virus. Mayfield himself has not tested positive, according to a league source, and he could return to practice as early as Wednesday morning if he continues to test negative."

So, better safe than sorry with a plague that has a 99.99% chance of survival for those under 40.

Ewww, you're right. The only thing I can think that's worse would be for millions of Americans to elect a creepy old guy with dementia as president. *shudder*

Oh wait....

Playing for Cleveland is the other, since they are the organization that had been handing out staph infections like jehovah's witnesses with pamplets hot off the presses.
