Yates threw two touchdown passes against the Jets on Sunday to help the Texans to a 24-17 win.
With two strong defenses taking the field, don’t expect tons of points Sunday. To reach the playoffs for the first time since the 2010 season, the Jets will probably have to win at least four of their last six games against a slate of tough opponents, which includes the Giants, Patriots, Bills and the finally healthy Cowboys. The third leading receiver on the team is Chris Ivory, which means short gains, nothing more, followed by Jeremy Kerley, but we all know by now it’s not going to be him. Houston had no first downs in the fourth period. Wesley Johnson replaced Mangold. Troy Aikman was a rookie quarterback and the team went 1-15. NY allowed 121.3 and 4.7 per attempt in its past three games, and it gave up a season-high 148 to the Buffalo Bills.
There are lots of places you can point the finger in this game. He completed 18-of-28 passes for 227 yards but had two picked off. He took a direct snap and ran for 5 yards two plays before the TD throw.
And their reward for snapping their losing streak is a game against the undefeated 10-0 Carolina Panthers tomorrow (Thanksgiving) before a nationally televised audience.
The loss for the Tennessee Titans leaves them in the basement of the AFC South on 2-8, and now in desperate need of a string of wins to get them back into contention.

This marked the fifth undefeated season in school history for the Cowboys, who have an automatic bid into the FCS Tournament which begins this week. They even managed to get far less likable when Greg Hardy came back from suspension and reminded everyone of the league’s image problem. After starting 4-1, the Jets have gone 1-4 in their last five. He just can’t make plays like he used to. Houston, meanwhile, was on the short week from its Monday night game at Cincinnati.
The Jets lost for the fourth time in five games, squandering all the momentum from their surprisingly positive start.
The rapport with the receivers wasn’t quite there but it certainly will get better with time. This looks like a great match up for the Jets to use the ground and pound to set up play-action for Marshall or Decker.

After a scoreless first quarter, the two teams traded field goals and it looked as if the game would be a 3-3 tie at the half before Hopkins stepped up his game. That came in Week 2 last season while with the Cleveland Browns. Those sportswriters must either be lazy, careless or stupid or all three. They couldn’t defend against the wildcat – a formation of which the Jets tried to use years ago and have seen before.
