With 1:32 the rest is in the game, Mayfield is washed out of the pocket and could not connect to the Rookie Levut Was the delay On the third and 10. at the fourth Dale and the match on the line, Maifield coded to pick up first.

Then, after five straight complete – including return Bucki Irving Taking two short passages 22 and 18 meters, respectively – running back Rachaad White RAN 2 ITARDS USE FOR SCORE winners.

Before Monday, Maifield went 0-6 during the regular season with noises in the Prime Minister.

Here are the most important things to know of Monday night for both teams:

KB Performance: Already play without all-pro left copies Tristan WirfsThe noises lost the initial direction Luke goat In the first quarter due to the injury of the foot. Despite this and faces two best pirates in the league, Maifield looked sharply, often taking easier completion – who did not work last week. Ended 25 of the 38 passages for 215 meters and touchdown to Egbuka and Ryan Miller. Maifield also got a much higher reinforcement from the ground floor this week, because Irving rushed for 71 yards and white added 65.

Texas’s defense played well enough to win, holding Buccanee’s 360 total courtyards, but the offense did not achieve a hit enough. However, when it is important, the Defense of Houston failed to close the game.

It is difficult to blame the defense when Huston’s crime was struggling – a total of 266 meters, only one week. The offense scored two Touchdowns, so it progressed from 1. weeks when the unit had only three field goals. But Touchdown helped a short field after a huge return of Noel. Special Texan teams have made performances, the defense transferred Mafield four times, but the offense could not go for most nights.

KB Performance: Although crude stats look fine, attacker CJ Stroud He did not deal with his standards. He looked indecisive too many times and had a barren incorrect throw – ending 13-24 of 24 for 207 meters. Even when the Texaci drove to a line of 1 yard early in the fourth quarter, had two incomplete, including the fourth downward.

Watching trend: The Texans defend was fighting, because Buccaneers amounted to 169 hazardless meters and 5.6 meters per wearing. In the week 1. Houston Limited Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl Go back Kyrene Williams Up to 66 meters in 18 years. It is not alarming, but it is something that Texaska looked at Jacksonville to face Jaguars, who lead NFL in a hurry in a hurry in a hurry in a hurry.

Trend for worrying: Texan passage protection was not in para. Stroud had to strain to survive the pressure too many times and was fired three times, just like the week of a 42% of his suffering. If Texans do not deal with these problems, it could be another season of Stroud, which is among the deepest quartbacks in the NFL. -Dj loved
