And It's Over!! Texans Win!!

2:43 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Texans win for the 8th time this season.. It's their best record ever .... at 8 & 8.
It's not the 9 and 7 mark that I predicted for them at the start of the season ....but considering all the injuries they have endured .....8 and 8 ....is pretty impressive.

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!!

...

Matt Musil

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.

...



It Looks Like Del Rio Wants to Get This Game Over ...

2:32 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.

...



Jacksonville Now Has Great Field Position!!

2:30 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

A Holding call wipes out a big runing play for the Jags andmoves the ball back to their own 44 yard line.

...



Bad Decision ...!!

2:27 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Sage Rosenfels ...make an ill-advised pass and is picked off!!!
Why are they throwing in that position anyway????

...



Texans Take Over After Jags Punt

2:26 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.

...



Offensive records falling today .....

2:20 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.
The record was 36 ....they had allowed 21 before today. According to my count ..they've allowed only 1 today.

...



Walker scores!!! And No Doubt About It!!!

2:17 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

This one will stand ......as Walker goes in standing up .....and it's now 42 to 21 with the PAT.

...

Matt Musil

...



Rosenfels needs one more TD pass .....

2:06 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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 ran out ...

2:03 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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 Stadium Looks Full ....

1:52 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.

...

Battle Red Day part #2 is going well

Matt Musil

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.

...

1:42 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Jacoby Jones nearly breaks one on the punt return .....but gets tackled at the Texans 38 yard line.

...



Well ....some fans hadn't even returned to their seats

1:38 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.

...

Jags are resting a number of starters

1:24 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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 ...



It's halftime ...and the Texans have the lead!!!

1:22 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

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.

...



Wow!! What a great play .!!!

1:18 PM Sun, Dec 30, 2007 |
Matt Musil

It was Davis' 2nd Kickoff return for a score this season ........
