Official Texans @ Raiders Game Thread, 10/23/2022

Raiders RB Jacobs finally stretchin his legs a bit on the ensuing drive. Capped it off with a 6-yd touchdown run, 39 yards total to start the half.

Jacobs now 15-84 with the score. Texans may regret some earlier drives that ended in three field goal attempts (and just two of them converted).

13-17 Raiders, 5:48 3rd Q.

Texans respond.

Big 24-yd reception by Cooks across midfield.

Bobbling 25-yd TD catch by Dorsett in 2-deep coverage for the score. Extra point good.

8-play 74-yd drive in just 2:34 off the clock. We got us a back-and-forth affair.

Texans 20-17, 3:14 3rd Q.

Trying to keep up with the NLCS at the same time... Bryce Harper just hit a go-ahead homer in the Bot8th to put the Phillies up 4-3, trying to close out the series. Not sure what the Padres were saving closer Josh Hader for there... methinks they will have several months starting tonight to think that over.

Jacobs still going. 7-play 76-yd drive capped by a 7-yd touchdown run by Jacobs.

He now has 17 rushes for 103 yards and two TDs.

20-24 Raiders, 13:32 4th Q.

And the Padres inexplicably bunted with one out in the 9th inning. Karma dictates they lose. Phillies to the World Series. Weather delay in New York. Astros may not even get to play tonight.

WR Nico Collins to the locker room with a groin injury, uncertain to return.

Pierce stopped just shy of the first down marker on a 3rd-and short at the Texan own 33-yd line. Raiders timeout.

Texans were going to go for it, but a foul start on rookie OL Kenyon Green changed their minds. First time the team punted today, and it was a good one, 61 yards off Cam Johnston down to the Raiders 19.

20-24 Raiders, 11:21 4th Q

Oof, DT Roy Lopez jumps offsides on a 4th-and-1 to help the Raiders extend a drive that might have been a donut.

Instead, Jacobs takes the ensuring carry 15-yards into the endzone.

Jacobs now up to 143 yards on the ground with three touchdowns.

20-31 Raiders, 7:06 remaining in the game.

PICK SIX ALERT

For the wrong team.

Mills throws into the hands of Duron Harmon, who returns it 74 yards for the score. Credit to Tunsil for giving chase and making a diving tackle attempt 20-yards out.

20-38 Raiders, 3:26 remaining

Collins is not returning. Also, Kenyon Green was in the medical tent but has returned.
Edit, whelp Green is out again with a shoulder injury. Hope it isn't his pec.

Thanks, Keith, for the updates. I got catching up to do.

Well, it looked OK for a while, anyway. I will have to review the quarters I missed.
