December 2007 ArchivesTexans win for the 8th time this season.. It's their best record ever .... at 8 & 8. For a full re-cap of the game ...tune in to 11 News tonight on our late newscast following CBS' primetime lineup!! See you then!! And Texans recover at their own 23 yard line ..... make that Ernest Wilford ...on the TD catch .....for the Jags. 42-28 Texans with 2:56 left. TD pass to Erenest Wilford .....and it's 42 to 28 after the PAT. Linebacker Charlie Anderson sacks Gray back to the 12 yard line... ...Richard Angulo ...a Tight End ...makes a great grab for the Jags at the Texans 16 yard line ..and the Jags are in business ......close to the Texans endzone. Clock rolling ..... 5:30 left. ...The Jags look like they want to run clock as much as the Texans do. they've been running the ball ...and throwing short pass plays ....as the clock runs down ......now inside the 7:00 minute mark. The Jags just want to get out of here healthy...and start preparing for the playoffs. ...A Holding call wipes out a big runing play for the Jags andmoves the ball back to their own 44 yard line. ...Sage Rosenfels ...make an ill-advised pass and is picked off!!! Texans have the ball at their own 45 yard line. They will now attempt to run some clock ......I would assume anyway. Texans lead 42 to 21 with 12:01 left in the 4th quarter. ...The Texans have scored six touchdowns today .....giving them a team record 43 for the season. The previous record was 37. They will also end the day allowing the fewest sacks in team history. This one will stand ......as Walker goes in standing up .....and it's now 42 to 21 with the PAT. ...Knee was down and the Texans get the ball inside the one yard line. It'll be 3rd down ...Jags don't think Walker got in!!!!!!!!! Replay officials are looking at it. ...Walker scores on great effort as he extends the ball to the goal line. They're at the 4 yard line ...... ...41 yard run ....Walker's longest run of his rookie season. ...Texans lead 3 to 21 after 3 quarters ...and they are driving ......... ...With one more Td pass today ...... Sage Rosenfels would tie David Carr for the single season TD mark for the Texans. That stat is amazing .... considering Sage has only started 5 games this season. It also shows how inept the Texans offense has been in the past....unfortunately. ...I thought the play clock had gone to :00 before the Jags got that play away .....but the officials didn't see it that way ....and the play stands !! ...The TD pass to Matt Jones for the TD ....interfernce called on Fred Bennett declined .... 48 yard pass play to Matt Jones gets the Jags into Texans territory ... at the 33 yard line. ...Texans' Curome Cox puts the big hit on Jags' Chad Williams on the kickoff following the TExans latest score. 7:14 left in the 3rd .... Texans lead the Jags .... 35 to 14. It was another late arriving crowd today ....but as the two teams play it here in the 3rd quarter .....the lower bowl is packed .....and the upper decks look full also. The only exception ....as usual ..is in front of the club section ....where fans would rather drink at the bar and watch on TV than watch the action live. This is a social phenomenon .....I will never understand. ...Dayne scores from 12 yards out and the TExans take a 35 14 lead with the PAT. ...Texans are deep in jags territory .....and Ron Dayne is in for the score!!!! ...They have reached the Jags 26 yard line ...the last few yards picked up on a Sage Rosenfels to Vonta Leach pass play. ...Two weeks ago ...when the Texans hosted Denver on Thursday night ....they wore both red jerseys and red pants ...for Battle Red Day #1 of the 2007 season ....this time ...they only have the red jerseys .....while wearing their regular white pants ....but once again the Battle Red is coming through for the home team. Texans have the ball with 12:29 left in the 3rd ...leading 28 to 14. Jacoby Jones nearly breaks one on the punt return .....but gets tackled at the Texans 38 yard line. ...When Davis turned on the Jets for the 2nd time today ......now things are settling down abit. Davis' 104 yard return is the longest in Texans history...and he's only the 7th player in NFL history to return and kickoff of that length. ...Andre' Davis for MVP of the game ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Texans fans are going wild!!!!!! ...Andre Davis does it again .....104 KO return for a score .....28 to 14 Texans!!!!!!!!!1 ...Earlier during the technical problems ....I reported that the Jags are resting many of their startesr including ....running backs Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew ...along with quarterback David Garrard. The good part of that is ....the Texans chances of winning have been enhanced ...but the bad part is ...if they don't win this game it will be very dissappointing. Former Texan ..Aaron Glenn is playing a lot at CB today for the Jags because they are resting so many players. This could be the former Aggie's final regular seson game ....ever. Glenn is a great guy ...and the Texans really ... After yielding a 66 yard ..9 play drive that ended with a pass play from Gray to Wilford which tied the game .....the Texans regained the lead only seconds later .... thanks to Andre' Davis' electric kickoff return. As they head to the 3rd quarter ...... the Texans lead 21 to 14. Also the Texans will receive the kickoff to start the 2nd half .....because they lost the opening coin toss to start the game ..and kicked off in the 1st quarter. ...It was Davis' 2nd Kickoff return for a score this season ........ ...Touchdown Texans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 97 yards!!! ...Gray to Ernest Wilford ....for 6 yards and the score .....the PAT makes it 14-al. ...to the Texans 6 yard line ...first and goal Jags ...1:17 left in the 2nd quarter ......Jags have it 2nd and 4 at the Texans 25. ...The Jags are at the Texans 25 yard line .....trailing 14 to 7. ...jags are driving .....and they have the ball first and ten at the Texans 42 yard line .....timeout on the field .....with two minutes left in the first half ... the Texans lead 14 to 7. 84 yards and 15 plays ....gets the Texans the go-ahead TD. Rosenfels to Owen Daniels from 2 yards out...14-nothing Texans. ...Walker carries the ball to the Jax 16 yard line .....it's 2nd and 7 ....... good for 14 yards ...and a first down near midfield .....and Darius Walker runs for 5 yards to get into Jags territory .......at the 47. ...and most of the grass playing field has been replaced follwing Friday night's Texas bowl ...... ...
