s to go 4 for 4 on fourth downs.�I�ll put that

Heading into last week Womens Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey , all the Texans needed was a loss by the Tennessee Titans and a win or tie of their own against the Indianapolis Colts to secure their fifth AFC South Division crown. Some people were even speculating that Houston could jump into the #2 seed in the AFC playoff race � something that seemed nearly unthinkable at the end of the 0-3 start to the season. Fans� hopes rose. The national media actually paid attention to the Texans.Most of us started to pick up what Houston was putting down. Then the train jumped the tracks. The Jaguars� �all-star� defense coughed up a record setting rushing attack to the Titans, embarrassing themselves and anyone who had any faith in their team, on national television. Things got a little tougher. Now the Texans had to beat the Colts and then simply win one more game to clinch the division and a playoff berth. Out came the injury report, with holes in the offensive line, wide receiver corps, and question marks all over the place. Pretty soon we were forced to stare in disbelief as a third string quarterback lined up as WR3, the offensive line went back to looking like it did during the 0-3 start, and the Texans� defense appeared to sleepwalk their way through a game like a senior citizen newly arrived at a retirement community. While it�s hard to find video proof, it seemed like J.J. Watt was playing with the flu or some other malady that kept him from going 100%. The same can be said of a few other key players as well. Houston seemed to fall back into place where they �belonged� with the also-rans. But if there�s anything truly different about the 2018 Houston Texans from the teams of years past, it�s their resiliency. Take a look at the Texans� last game against the Titans. Houston quickly went down 10-0 and looked as if they were going to get pantsed by the hated �Not-The-Oilers�. Instead of giving up or taking a victim mentality through the rest of the game http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-ka_imi-fairbairn-jersey , the Texans rose up and smashed the Titans 34-17. This coming week, the Jets are on the menu. While Houston has one less day to prepare thanks to the Saturday afternoon kickoff, the Jets are ripe for the type of beatdown the Texans put on the Titans in the second through fourth quarters of the aforementioned game on Monday Night FootballWith Houston focused on a seemingly unexpected high-seeded playoff berth, the Jets are aspiring to secure the first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Should Houston win this week and both the Colts and Titans lose, Houston will clinch the division. If Houston can win out and the New England Patriots drop one of their last three games, Houston can still lock up the #2 seed in the AFC. The current most likely scenario: Houston will still roll into the playoffs in the #3 seed, play on Wild Card Weekend, and face either the San Diego Chargers or Baltimore Ravens. Both are much tougher opponents than the Colts. Still, seeing Lamar Jackson face Deshaun Watson in the playoffs should make for some serious fireworks. Either way, it�s time to turn the page and face the Jets. What do you think is going to happen? Will Houston clinch the AFC South this week and be able to rest some players or will it come down to Week 17 heroics? Lay out your playoff predictions in the comments section. Deshaun Watson made one big play after another to rally the Houston Texans back from a 13-point deficit to take the lead only to watch the defense let it slip away.The Texans missed an opportunity to clinch the AFC South and lost control of the No. 2 seed when Jake Elliott kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired to give the Philadelphia Eagles a 32-30 victory on Sunday.Houston would secure the division title with a victory against Jacksonville next week. They need the Patriots to lose or tie to get a first-round bye. But they own at least a wild-card spot because Pittsburgh lost to New Orleans later Sunday.�We just have to go out there and win next week Benardrick McKinney Jersey White ,� J.J. Watt said after being held to only three tackles and no sacks. �We can�t worry about anything else.�Watson was 29 of 40 for 339 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 49 yards and two scores.Down 29-16 in the fourth quarter, the Texans started their comeback after recovering Josh Adams� fumble. Watson threw a 14-yard TD to DeAndre Hopkins to cut the deficit to 29-23 with 4:48 left and the Texans got the ball back at their 20 after a three-and-out.Watson made an incredible escape on third-and-11 and threw 22 yards to Jordan Akins for a first down at the Philadelphia 34.On third-and-11, he hit Vyncint Smith deep in the back of the end zone. Smith made an outstanding catch, and dragged his feet to stay inbounds.�He played great the last two drives,� Texans coach Bill O�Brien said. �He�s just got incredible instincts, he sees things well, he hangs in there, he�s tough. The football field for him is heaven on earth. Obviously we have a strong belief in him and what he can do.�The Texans had a tough time moving the ball until the fourth quarter and the absence of Lamar Miller hurt their rushing attack. Alfred Blue and D�Onta Foreman had 13 yards on 11 carries.�I think the ball in (Watson�s) hands is the best thing for our offense and for our football team,� O�Brien said. �But we have to figure out how to run the ball better. I have to figure it out because it hasn�t been good enough.�Watt and the rest of Houston�s defense blamed themselves for the loss after giving up 519 yards and allowing the Eagles to go 4 for 4 on fourth downs.�I�ll put that on my shoulders,� Watt said. �The offense did a great job giving us a chance Stephen Anderson Jersey White , and we just didn�t get a stop at the end. I�ll take that as a leader of the defense. We have to get a stop.��As long as we get in, then it�s a new season,� Watson said before the clinching was official. �My mentality is whoever we have to play, wherever we have to play, we are going to play all four quarters. All that stuff is irrelevant. We have to focus on Jacksonville, get everyone healthy and try to win the next game and see what happens.�The Texans lost wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (right leg) and cornerbacks Kareem Jackson (knee) and Kayvon Webster (thigh) in the game. Thomas was carted off the field in the fourth quarter and his injury appeared most serious.
