Monday Night Football Afterword: Jets vs Texans

Houston DE J.J. Watt showed up huge on National TV
in the Texans 23-17 win over the Jets.

Unfortunately, my attention was slightly divided between this game and Game 2 of the Yankees/Orioles ALDS last night. I know my focus needs to be football, and it really should be, but I have to will my Yankees to victory!

Tim Tebow got to throw one pass last night, and it was actually a pretty nice throw, but it was dropped. Mark Sanchez looked okay at times, but 14/31 if a pitiful completion percentage; pitiful, yet on par with his season to this point.

Matt Schaub didn’t look great last night, but he didn’t have to be on point. He got his team out to an early lead and the defense did the rest. J.J. Watt is a top 3 defensive end in the National Football League, and if he wasn’t considered that before, he certainly ought to now.

The Houston Texans improved to 5-0 with their surprising close, 23-17 win over the Jets. It is tough to see them having a prayer at 16-0 this season, especially with today’s news that Brian Cushing will miss the rest of 2012 with a torn ACL in his left knee. But they Texans joined the Falcons in accomplishing something neither of their franchises have ever had: a 5-0 start to a regular season.

The Jets meanwhile fall to 2-3. They are still in the hunt in the AFC East, but with the Patriots hitting their stride and Miami improving with their rookie quarterback every week, it will be near impossible with Revis and Holmes both out.

But don’t fret just yet Jets fans (try reading that quickly five times), there’s word on the street that Terrell Owens is interested in signing with you guys!
