Official Texans vs. Raiders Game Thread, 10/27/2019
The 4-3 Texans will host the 3-3 Oakland Raiders this Sunday at NRG in a late afternoon game. The Raiders lost a road game 42-24 to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. The Texans lost a road game 30-23 to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday.
The Texans are 6-4 all time vs. the Raiders. The Raiders haven't played a home game in Oakland since Sept 15, in Week 2. The Texans have played only game decided by more than one score, a 53-32 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. I've got them getting their second one this Sunday over a road-weary Raiders team.

Raiders win the toss and elect to receive. Kickoff is a touchback. |

Texans have three starters in secondary out today. Everyone else in the AFC South won today. Broncos lost third game this year on last-second FG.
Tunsil false start, his eighth this season.. worst in the NFL. |

Fuller's absence really changes the complexion of this offense.

Fairbairn is good from 33.

Chris Clark is not capable of 1-on-1 pass blocking. He allowed the one sack on Watson and got called for a hold.
Akins needs some pine time. He's having a terrible game. Can we suit up Andre Johnson to play pass defense? |

Texans drive down and have to settle for a Fairbairn 40-yard FG to start the 2nd half.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNJLcAijU-M You'll see the play at the 4:26 mark of the highlights. Last edited by HPF Bob; 10-27-2019 at 06:49 PM. |

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. |
