With T.J. Yates under center, the Jets were not exactly intimidated headed into today’s game.
Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday against the Saints after passing the concussion protocol, coach Bill O’Brien said Monday.
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has showcased his credentials repeatedly this season, but on Sunday, with NY Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis lined up opposite of him, Hopkins took a big step toward superstardom.
The NY Jets (5-5) lost another game that could come back to haunt them later in the season and it wasn’t without a few key injuries.
But the Texans’ success goes beyond just their best players making plays. “We’re not better than these teams because they keep beating us, so we’ve got to find a way to get over the hump”.
The climax of the game came when Rashad Greene returned a 63 yard punt to set the stage for Blake Bortles 5 yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas with just 3:30 remaining on the clock. I’m still committed to Ryan.

MACC’S BACK: The game marks the return to Houston for Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, who worked in the Texans’ front office for 15 years before being hired by NY in January. Blue ran for 58 yards and Grimes added 37 to give the two of them 95 yards.

The Jets were in position to drive for the tying touchdown starting from their 41.
Revis recorded three tackles before leaving the game with a concussion Sunday against the Texans.
DeAndre had the 5 catches for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns the Texans needed. That’s also the second best streak in franchise history since Houston held opponents out of the end zone for 13 frames from December 2004 to January 2005. At the time, Fitzpatrick seemed like the answer for the Jets’ offensive woes.
“I do think I’m the right man for the job”, Fitzpatrick said Monday.
The playoff window is narrowing for the Jets. Mangold was present on the sideline throughout the game following his injury, which his right hand bandaged.
