Texans vs. Jets first quarter recap
Texans vs. Jets second quarter recap
Jets 7th drive (11 plays, 75 yards, 7:09) — QB Zach Wilson was able to hit WR Elijah Moore for a 22-yard pass to the 50-yard line on New York’s second play of the drive. However, a holding call backed up the Jets first-and-20 the very next play. New York overcame it with a 16-yard pass to Moore to setup second-and-4 from the Houston 44. The Texans’ run defense suffered as rookie DT Roy Lopez was questionable with a foot injury, although he came back during the drive. On a third-and-8 from Houston’s 16-yard line, TE Ryan Griffin drops a sure touchdown in the back fo the end zone. K Matt Ammendola hits a 33-yard field goal, but DT Ross Blacklock committed leverage (unsportsmanlike conduct), which created an automatic first down. Blacklock commits an offside penalty on the very next play, which moves New York closer. Wilson completes the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. Jets, 18-14
Texans 7th drive (7 plays, 19 yards, 4:38) — QB Tyrod Taylor both rescues and kills the Texans’ drive. On a first-and-10 from the Houston 36-yard line, Taylor rushes for 30 yards up to the Jets’ 34-yard line; essentially flipping the field. Two plays later on a third-and-13 from the Jets’ 37-yard, Taylor takes a 19-yard loss on a sack, pushing Houston out of field goal range.
Jets 8th drive () — The Texans are essentially beat. WR Braxton Berrios caught a 46-yard slant to flip the field for the Jets. The Jets have a second-and-8 from the Texans’ 27 to start the fourth quarter.
