1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: In the Domico Ryans era, we have seen some unforgettable

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: games and this is one of them.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Coming to Arrowhead Stadium.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: In a big spot, needing a win to stick around

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: and make a statement in this AFC playoff chase, but

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: you have to do it against the Kings of the AFC.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: You dethroned them tonight with a twenty to ten victory

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead One a night as the Texans win their

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: fourth consecutive and they go to eight and five, Dre

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: give us the pass rush report, then we'll talk more.

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: Ye have our HIB Sack report. The Texans had two

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: sacks in today's game. Tommy TOGII had one, Sheldon Rankins

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: and Denico Autry shared a sack, bringing the total to two.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: As part of Sax for Hunger, HIB will donate one

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: thousand dollars to the Houston Food Bank every time the

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: Texans sacked the quarterback. The HIB Sack Attacks brought to

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: you by HIB, the official tailgate headquarters of the Houstons.

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Tommy came up big tonight, no question about that, as

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the defense was led by him in the tackle department

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: with ten total tackles this evening. Dre Patrick Mahomes has

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty five career starts. This is his fifth

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: lowest passing yardage in a game with one hundred and

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: sixty and his fourth three interception game, but his first

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two, so the first time he's done

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: it in three years.

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: This defense is the real deal, Yeah it is.

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's taken some of the better quarterbacks in

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: this league and made them ordinary. Josh Allen, guys like

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes.

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Even Stafford only put two touchdowns on the board against

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: this team.

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: No doubt. And so when you look at it, it

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: is it is one of the best I've seen or

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: been around, maybe the best that this franchise certainly has

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: had since since that's how I can remember, ever. And

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: it's fun to watch. It's just fun to watch them

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: get after people. And it wasn't daneil Hunter today, And

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: it wasn't Will Anderson Jr. But the sacks still came

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: from some others and so they would apply pressure on

40
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: the outside, force some Mahomes to step up. Togi I

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: rankins those guys who were able to capitalize, uh and

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: take advantage.

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Wait, a guy I know who won the Heisman Trophy

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine. Once told me that pressure is

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: sometimes better than sacks.

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: It is.

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: You got three picks tonight, and you got a lot

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: of throws that were off the mark, just enough to

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: force incompletions and guys unable to haul it in or

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: maybe a hand gets in the way. Mahomes with a

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of bad throws tonight. Thanks for that pressure.

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there was pressure everywhere, forcing him to

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: make decisions that weren't ideal, and the Texans were able

54
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: to come up with turnovers on the back end. I

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: thought lasted or may have played, may have played his

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: best game because of the simple fact he wasn't one

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: hundred percent. You're not dealing with a shoulder or a hand,

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: it's foot which he needs to do his job. And

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: he sucked it up, played well, came down with an interception,

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 3: made a tremendous amount of tackles because we know the

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: Chiefs like to get the ball out quickly. We knew

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: they would get it out quickly. The tunnel screens, screen

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: the alley plays where you've got to rally up and

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: make tackles one on one in most cases, and Lasseter

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: was able to do that.

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Dra Nico Collins goes off of the first half yardage wise,

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: four catches, one hundred and twenty one yards. Higgins with

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: two big first down conversions in the second half.

69
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: They were pretty big.

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: One change the field, flipped the field a bit for

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you because you weren't able to continue to drive, and

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: another had the ball in chiefs territory in good range.

73
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: They really did a good job going to him when

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: they needed to and what he marks with the nice

75
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: catch for a touchdown. My theme here is rookies are

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: contributing to this team and doing a nice job overall.

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point in the season, they've played

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: enough football where they're not cookies unless you're just you know,

80
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: saving them and they're sitting on the bench or on

81
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: the practice squad or something without any game reps. But

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: guys that have played Jalen Knowle had a couple of

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: big catches in this one. Higgins with a couple of

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: big catches. Woody stepping in and putting a team on

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: his back in terms of the rushing game, when you

86
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: needed to run some clock and get some first downs,

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: he was able to do that. You're not You're these

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: guys are no longer rookies. They they know what it

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: takes to succeed in this league. Uh, They've They've been

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: in games where they've had to get their bodies back

91
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: right in order to get to the next week. Now

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: they know what it's like for the rest of their career.

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: So you build on that experience.

94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: So what do you think overall? Here?

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: You have the Cardinals, the Raiders, you go to the Chargers,

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: you have the Colts. You're coming down the stretch here

97
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of momentum. You got to

98
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: keep it going.

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: It's still a.

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Fairly young team. They can't let a victory like this,

101
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: and I don't think they will. Demico won't let them.

102
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they will have trouble. As Spencer Tillman

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: would say, running with a cup full of success. They've

104
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to keep this thing.

105
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: Going, no doubt.

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: But you know the approach you take in this is

107
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna sound vanilla, it's gonna sound generic, but it's

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: one game at a time. It's the NFL. If you

109
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: don't think the Cardinals are capable of beating the Texans,

110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: you're crazy, You're a fool. And they can come right

111
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: into your building and pull it off and then you're

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: wondering what the hell happened. So it's one game, all

113
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: the focus goes to the Cardinals, and when that one's over,

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: it's to the Raiders and one you know, down the stretch,

115
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 3: we can look ahead, but that team in the locker

116
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: room down there should not. And I got a feeling

117
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: with the coach's staff that they have and the head

118
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: coach that they have, they will not look ahead.

119
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: What a defensive slugfest. Both quarterbacks below fifty percent, and

120
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: we're talking about good ones here Mahomes fourteen of thirty

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: three and CJ fifteen of thirty one. But it's Stroud's

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: bunch that comes out on top. He was clean in

123
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the turnover department despite all the pressure he faced. He

124
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: threw for two hundred and three yards at a score.

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes meanwhile picked off three times in this one, and

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the Texans also turned the Chiefs over on downs twice.

127
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: That's basically five turnovers. You're looking at one a night

128
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: for Houston Texans winners twenty to ten. We'll talk more

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: about it and get you set up for next week

130
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: after this.

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: This is Texans Radio
