This was much harder fought. I couldn't get a run going at first. And was only up by a touchdown at one point, and thought for sure on this drive the Texans were going to get a TD, but I think they got a holding call, and did a run play with Foster and I ended up stopping him for a loss of yards, keeping them out of FG range. I'm having to rely way too much on MJD, he's carrying this team as Blaine can't make a pass to save his life, only here and there but overall for him, he's dragging this team down. I can notice the difference in teams, was able to run against the Vikings, but got extremely tough with the Texan's LB core stopping me.
