Texans vs. Jets score, live updates: C.J. Stroud and Houston head to New York for Thursday Night Football

Posted by Admin October 31, 2024 Football

The Houston Texans’ 2024 start has picked up right where the 2023 season left off. Houston won the AFC South last year and is out to a two-game lead in the division over the Colts halfway through the season, and the Texans have already swept Indianapolis, so they hold the tiebreaker over the only other team in the division without a losing record. C.J. Stroud is among the league leaders in passing yards once again, but he’ll be without one of his top targets for the rest of the year, with Stefon Diggs out with a torn ACL.

The Jets, who were looking for a shot in the arm when they traded for Davante Adams a couple of weeks ago, have lost five straight games after a 2-1 start and find themselves at the bottom of the AFC East. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich is looking for answers after a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots, who picked up just their second win of the season in that game. Adams has yet to make a major impact with the Jets, with seven catches for 84 yards, and his third week reunited with Aaron Rodgers could be another tough night at the office with Houston boasting the No. 3 ranked pass defense in the NFL.

C.J. Stroud gets sacked too

It’s C.J. Stroud’s turn to be sacked. D.J. Reed comes off the corner to make the play for an eight-yard loss.

Aaron Rodgers sacked

Jets go 3-and-out on their first possession. Aaron Rodgers is sacked by Denico Autry for a nine-yard loss.

Haason Reddick makes his presence known

Facing pressure from Haason Reddick, C.J. Stroud throws an incomplete pass on 3rd-and-4 from the Houston 43-yard line.

Reddick couldn’t bring down Stroud on third down, but disrupted the play enough to force the incomplete and force the Texans to punt. And we’re about to find out if Cayenne Pepper Rodgers is really as mobile as he claimed to be.

Better warmup?

C.J. Stroud’s golf swing or Dak Prescott’s hip whip?
