1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An unforgettable game on Battle Red Knight. The Houston Texans

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: battled all night long. Defensively, they were absolutely superb, allowing

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: only one offensive touchdown by the Buffalo Bills that was

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: on the opening drive.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: Then they clamped down from there.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Another touchdown scored on a kickoff return for a TD

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: in the second quarter by the Bills, but after the

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: break only one field goal for Buffalo. As the Houston

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: defense was amazing and the pass rush was a huge

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: part of it. Andre, what do you have in that dear?

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 3: That's gonna be the story of this game after it's

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: broken down our HGB sack report, the Texans had eight, Yes,

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 3: I said it, eight secks in tonight's game. Will Anderson

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Junior with two and a half, Daniel Hunter with two,

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: Henry Toatoa added one. Tim Settle, big guy in the middle,

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: he had one. Derek Barnett got in on the action

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: with one, and then Mario Edwards with a half seck,

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: bringing the total to eight. As part of Sex for

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: Hunger AGB will donate one thousand dollars to the Houston

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: Food Bank every time the Texans seck the quarterback. The

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: ATB sack attack, it's brought to you by AGB, the

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: official tailgate headquarters of the Houston Texans. And I don't

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: know that I've seen eight secs in a ballgame.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: You did not think you were gonna get that against

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen tonight because he has a capability. Will Junior

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Sackson six consecutive games, tying a single season franchise record

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: set by Mario Williams in two thousand and seven. Drey

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Daniel seven sacks in his last three games ties a

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: franchise record for sacks in a three game span, which

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: is held by JJ Watt and Mario Williams. And nine

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: straight games the Texans defense gets a sack and a takeaway.

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: That's the longest active streak in the NFL and second

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: longest in the history of the franchise. It was amazing

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: to see them get after him, and sometimes with the

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: four man rush right, they were getting back there getting

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: pressure on Allen Drey And you talk about this, sometimes

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are looking out for It seemed like Allen

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: was looking out for that pass rush after.

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: Who was after They got to him a couple of

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: times early in the game. All of a sudden, his

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: eyes started to drop and he's watching the guys pushing

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: in the middle and then pushing on the outside. It

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: was important for a guy like Settle and then toki

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Id to get close on a couple of occasions because

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: it showed that they were getting pushed in the middle.

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: So if you're getting the outside rush, there's nowhere for

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: just to go. Yeah, Josh Allen's just bottled up. And

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: that's why spinning a round, trying to run and escape

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: and spinning right into the other defensive end coming from

50
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: the other side.

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: This was your key to the game. Pressure up the

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: middle because you know that the Niel and Will are

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: going to be there. But if there's wide open laye

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: up the middle, well he can find it and run

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: with it. But Josh Allen running the football tonight, five

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: carries twenty yards along of fourteen.

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: That was it.

58
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: He had that one scramble in the fourth quarter, not

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: the last drive, but a driver two before that, James

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Cook one hundred and sixteen yards. Look, he ran the

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: ball well, but forty five of that was on carry obviously,

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: So the Texans did a decent job overall after that

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: run was in the books stopping or at least slowing

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: down the Buffalo rush.

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they really did. I mean they put the grips

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 3: on the running game. And then once they had that

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: settled down, they came after Josh Allen and boy was

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: it fun to watch them do business and do work.

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Danil having an outstanding run along with Will and then

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: it's fun to see a guy like Timmy Settle get

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: himself into the action as well. Mario Edwards. Those guys,

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, we know what the other two are gonna do,

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: but when the other ones are starting to contribute, that's

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: huge and it's fun for everybody at that point.

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Drey, what about the offense now, Davis Mills throws two

76
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: touchdown passes after the break.

77
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: The offense really didn't do much at all.

78
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: That defense had to work a lot to get that win,

79
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: including that final dramatic drive, but they did enough in

80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: the first half to get the defense to lead and

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: they finally hung on at the moment of truth.

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: What's he throwing one interception against Jacksonville early in the

83
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: game their first first first series, right, yeah, and he's

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: taking care of the ball. So when you come in,

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: that's what you're asked to do. They're They're like, well,

86
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: come in and manage the game. He's a he's way

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: more than that, and he is a reason why this

88
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: team has gone on a three game winning streak, beating Jacksonville,

89
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 3: Tennessee and now Buffalo.

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: Yep, no question, got the points needed. Now, CJ. Stroud

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: could be back next week, you hope. So he did

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: some work at practice this week, some light activity limited,

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: So let's hope CJ's back next week. But Bills won

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: an effort. Three consecutive starts and three wins. That is

95
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: pretty good stuff right there, My friend.

96
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: You're doing your job. You're holding it down.

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Well.

98
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: He's played fantastic in this three game run. And there're

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: gonna be some that's that want to see Davis stay

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: in the lineup. But it's CJ's job, it's his team,

101
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: and he is the franchise player at that position.

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Certainly, Well correct me if I'm wrong, but CJ can

103
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: make that elite throw sometimes to get you out of

104
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: trouble or get something really going. Mills made some great throws, though,

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from what Davis Smith. He

106
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: throwed that he made to Nico on Sunday against the

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Titans was as good as you're gonna see it from anything.

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: And in that three game run, he's made some outstanding plays.

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: He seems to have unlocked this offense for Nick Cayley,

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: and how I think maybe Nick Cayley envisioned how he

111
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: wants it to operate, and he's making plays within it.

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Texans run for one hundred and eight yards as a team.

113
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: Now that's below the average that Buffalo allows, but they

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: were really clamping down on the run in the second half.

115
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: What he mark sixteen carries seventy four yards, that's four

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: and a half per carry, and mills through the air.

117
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: I didn't give you the number.

118
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Sixteen to thirty one hundred and fifty three yards, two tds,

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: no picks. As you pointed out, Christian Kirk had his

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: best game as a Houston Texans no Texan, no doubt.

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Five catches for fifty four yards and a score. Higgins

122
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: four catches for thirty eight and a touchdown, and Nico

123
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: three for fifty five. So they did what they needed

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: to do, dre. Now you go six games to go,

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: two of them are with the Colts.

126
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: You're also going to go to Kansas City.

127
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I look at this three game stretch of Buffalo the

128
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Colts in Kansas City. Really important to get two out

129
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: of these three at least, and you got the one tonight,

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: so that's huge.

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's really no room for era when

132
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: you kind of look at it, especially with who you're facing,

133
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: and with the Colts. They still got to play this

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: weekend after I think they had to buy last week.

135
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I think I'm pretty sure they.

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they played the Chiefs this weekend. They played the

137
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs this week, but last weekend I believe they were off.

138
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were off last week, so they're rested and

139
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: going into to Arrowhead. That'll be a tough, hard fought

140
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: football game. I'm interested to see how the Colts come

141
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: out of that because the Chiefs at this point being

142
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: five hundred, they are desperate for a win and now,

143
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, you spin the wheel

144
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: and you get the Chiefs the next weekend in Kansas City.

145
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: More from this one coming up from the booth, and

146
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,440
