This was the first time in 155 games that the Saints have not scored a touchdown. He also had two punts inside the 20 and a long of 53.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the next game, win or lose”. He was a defensive assistant from Payton’s first season in 2006 until 2010. JJ Watt and the Texans have won three games in a row and are now at home.
But going into Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, the Texans are 5-5 on the year, tied for first place in the division. Brees had thrown at least one touchdown pass in 45 consecutive games, while the Saints last completed a game without a touchdown in Week 16 of 2005. They’re getting a lot of pressure on the quarterback, they’re getting a lot of sacks and are getting a lot of production there. It was Jackson’s first game back after missing three games. The Bengals’ 31 points equaled the second-most against St. Louis this season. Meanwhile, the Packers fall to 7-4 with their second straight loss at Lambeau, and their downturn in form will continue to worry those in Green Bay. He threw an interception, but not a touchdown, according to Sports Illustrated. Tyler Eifert also had his NFL-leading 12th touchdown catch. Obviously, last week they had two touchdowns defensively.
Had the defense been as good as many expected, somewhere along the lines of the Jets 2009 unit that allowed an NFL-best 14.8 points per game, Fitzpatrick’s production would easily have the team humming along toward the post-season. It was the fifth-longest streak in National Football League history.
And while they haven’t always been the underdog this season they’ve performed well in the role, covering in seven of their previous nine games as dogs.
For the first time in a decade, the New Orleans Saints finished a game without scoring a touchdown.
However, the Texans have never beaten the Indianapolis Colts on the road. “There are a handful of technique things that need to be cleaned up, and yet there are a few times on the film where you are looking at it and you’re like, ‘Wow, that is pretty good'”.
The Texans finished 5 for 5 on third downs in the first quarter. It extended the margin to 19-12 on Vinatieri’s fourth field goal. Houston has now won four straight games to go over the.
Miami Dolphins rattled the Texans in week 7.
Houston’s offense clicked early to the tune of a 14-0 lead, as Brian Hoyer went 11 for 11 to begin the game.
The Redskins and Giants are both 5-6. Andy Reid eventually had to part with the Philadelphia Eagles. That motion made Brees pull the ball down and Watt pounced on him for the sack.
The Raiders (5-6) handed the Titans (2-9) their ninth loss in 10 games. “Whether it’s (Hau’oli) Kikaha or Andrus (Peat), we have had a number of them play this year”. But officials flagged B.W. Webb for holding on the other side of the field. Two plays later, Carr hit Roberts for the winning touchdown.
The creative approach helped with the Saints paying special attention to Hopkins as he caught five passes for 36 yards on eight targets. The Texans gained 167 rushing yards on 38 carries, averaging 4.4 yards per run.

The second half would not get any easier for Brees and company. Greg Olsen and Ted Ginn Jr. have combined for 1,233 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns while Jerricho Cotchery has 24 receptions. Instead, it was just another incomplete pass on the stat sheet, and one of two deep balls the rookie couldn’t hold on to from Fitzpatrick. Sacks became an National Football League statistics in 1982, and Watt now ranks 79th in sacks. But his TD passes were enough against the Jaguars (4-7), who failed to recover an onside kick in the closing minutes.
