**SNF in NRG Stadium Lions at Texans** (+3.5, 49.0) (2 Viewers)

[BobbyLayne]

just gotta weather the storm here

need the D to step up

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Thank God Houston decided to play D. And Goff decided to be un-Goff like.

Sorry, DET fans- facing Sun god in my main local and not up near enough.

 

[BobbyLayne]

that might be the worst Jack Fox punt I've seen in 3 or 4 years

the heck is going on here tonight

 

[Zeppelin]

struggling early

Even Jack Fox.

 

[Buckna]

Collinsworth slobbering all over Pitre is weird. It's great he had the deflection for the INT earlier, but he's been a major disappointment ever since his rookie year and a big weak link on the defense.

 

[dmac37]

Lions now +3.5, ML +135. May be a good investment....

 

[Jayded]

Who the heck are these guys?!?

 

[Buckna]

Houston shuffled the offensive line quite a bit, could be interesting as Stroud has had no protection in the interior this year

 

[BobbyLayne]

man just not our night so far

 

[Mt. Man]

Lions' best play so far on either side: Houston's 1st penalty.

 

[BobbyLayne]

James Houston IV!!!!

first sack in 2 years

 

[Dez]

Mixon couldn't make a couple more yards on that long catch to get in the end zone could he

 

[Donnybrook]

Goff looks like his dog just died.

 

[Jayded]

Wait, there we are. Dumb OL penalty also leads to our QB getting sacked before Fairbairn gets us points. I see you Texans

 

[Zeppelin]

Wow. A James Houston sighting.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Tunsil in the blue tent

 

[Buckna]

Wait, there we are. Dumb OL penalty also leads to our QB getting sacked before Fairbairn gets us points. I see you Texans

The Hold was a killer there. Could have just pounded it from short there had that not happened, throwing a TD with no Nico is a tough order for us

 

[SoBeDad]

man just not our night so far

It's early. Goff under some pressure.

 

[BobbyLayne]

big play Jamo

 

[Mt. Man]

Great recovery by Jamo

 

[Zeppelin]

Jamo with a huge catch.

 

[BobbyLayne]

rough first quarter

need to get back to our kind of ball here

 

[BobbyLayne]

Laremy Tunsil remains on sideline talking with coaches after getting checked out in blue tent

 

[BobbyLayne]

Texans are playing very physical

Detroit getting punched in the mouth

another clutch 3rd down play by Jamo

 

[ProstheticRGK]

How many times has Jamo been targeted so far?

 

[BobbyLayne]

LaPorta!!

 

[Uncle Leo]

How many times has Jamo been targeted so far?

3

 

[fred_1_15301]

Welp it was a run Houston.

 

[Zeppelin]

LaPorta!!!!!!!

 

[ProstheticRGK]

That was a sweet playcall

 

[Absolutely Nothing]

Sweet! Good work on Laporta’s end!

 

[Zeppelin]

Great throw on the run by Goff.

 

[whoknew]

Excellent TD celebration for the Lions.

 

[SoBeDad]

Success on the ground helped setup that play. Ben Johnson will be a head coach next year. Maybe in NY.

 

[TartanLion]

Great stuff there have barely gone to Laporta this year so it wasn’t the expected play. Proved last year how good he can be, nice to have that option in our locker that we have barely had to use so far this season

 

[BobbyLayne]

slow up let the CB run into you automatic flag

 

[BobbyLayne]

you up at 2am watching this lol?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Branch is out to prove something tonite. I was disappointed in him last week, with the hits. Still bummed Philly didn’t draft him.

 

[Jayded]

What is Slowik doing? He’s so hit or miss and his frequency of misses continues to grow

 

[BobbyLayne]

he's a great kicker

 

[Buckna]

What is Slowik doing? He’s so hit or miss and his frequency of misses continues to grow

Starting to wonder if Fairbairn is too good. Maybe he needs to miss a few so Slowik will stop always playing for the FG.

 

[SoBeDad]

What is Slowik doing? He’s so hit or miss and his frequency of misses continues to grow

Trying to get a closer FG. Or maybe Mixon breaks one. But that's not happening vs the Detroit D. Short quick passes, an occasional long pass.

Is Tunsil out?

 

[Buckna]

Wow!

 

[Wingnut]

Crazy INT

 

[Buckna]

Football follies highlight there on the INT

 

[Major]

 

[Zeppelin]

Only red zone defense is keeping this close.

 

[Jayded]

Texans always play more physical on Battle Red games. It makes it even more bizarre that when they had their shot to go more red with the rebrand that they stuck with the steel blue as primary.

 

[Buckna]

Ugh, gotta get it into the endzone Texans

 

[Mt. Man]

The good news for the Lions is that the Texans are settling for FGs.
Going to have to do a lot (more) on offense to keep up, though.
