The Titans were 8-2 and had won six straight games. Not only had the Titans been winning lately, it was who they beat. Tennessee during their winning streak beat the Jaguars, Bills, Chiefs, Colts, Rams and the Saints. That is a very impressive stretch, especially considering they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-derrick-henry-potentially-suffered-season-ending-foot-injury-in-win-over-colts/" rel="noopener">won the last couple without Derrick Henry.</a></p><p>Needless to say, the Texans were massive road underdogs Sunday. Then they shocked the NFL with a 22-13 upset over the AFC’s top seed.</p><p>Here are the three key takeaways from that game for the Texans.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Texans Takeaways from Week 11 upset of Titans</b></h2><p><b>3. The Texans defense is better than people give them credit for</b></p><p>Because the Texans have been mostly getting beaten pretty soundly all season, it was assumed that both offense and defense were a train wreck. But on Sunday, the Texans defense showed up. They picked off Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill four times in the win.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ryan Tannehill wanted to stop a pick six more than any QB has ever wanted to stop a pick six <a href="https://t.co/aDzPuHrAfz" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/aDzPuHrAfz</a></p><p>— chris long (@JOEL9ONE) <a href="https://twitter.com/JOEL9ONE/status/1462503985701658630?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 21, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Now don’t get me wrong. I am not saying the Texans defense is good, or even close to it. But they are better than where they rank. Statistically, they are in the bottom five in most defensive categories, including points against.</p><p>They have allowed 31 points or more five times this season. But, when you offense is as dreadful as it has been most of the season, it’s really difficult not to look bad. The Texans rank dead last in yards per game, last in rushing yards per game and have more passing yards than only the Chicago Bears.</p><p>When your offense goes three and out as much as they do, it puts the defense in a really tough spot. They are on the field the majority of their games. Despite that, they have shown up a couple times and played pretty well. They nearly upset the New England Patriots a few weeks ago and then pulled off a big upset this week.</p><p>Again, the defense is not good, it’s just not as awful as most think.</p><p><b>2. Tyrod Taylor will get the Texans a chance to win down the stretch</b></p><p>Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been all over the league. He never seems to be able to hold a starting job, but is probably one of the best backups in recent years. He rarely makes mistakes and turns the ball over. He is steady and you know what you will get. He did that again Sunday vs the Titans.</p><p>He was only 14-24 for 107 yards passing, but picked up 28 yards rushing and <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1462496765421277187">two scores on the ground.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">IT'S FLY-ROD TAYLOR ✈<a href="https://twitter.com/TyrodTaylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@TyrodTaylor</a> | 📺 » <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonCBS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@NFLonCBS</a> <a href="https://t.co/Rbp3M9wsDO" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/Rbp3M9wsDO</a></p><p>— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1462496765421277187?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 21, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>As the Texans look to rebuild, they would be wise to hold onto Taylor. No, he is not the answer nor the future at the quarterback position, but there are a lot of other holes on this team. The longer they can retain his services while working to build their offensive line and linebacking core, the better the franchise will be.</p><p><b>1. The Texans might win a couple more games, hurting their draft position</b></p><p>The Texans are 2-8 and are tied with the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars for the 2nd worst record in the league. At this point, it’s all about draft position. The Texans beat the Jaguars Week 1, and have a better conference record than the Jets, so technically the Texans hold the number four draft position. But that might change, for the worse.</p><p>Over the next month, Houston will play the Jets, Seahawks and Jaguars. There’s a very good chance that those three games will determine if the Texans will get a top 3 pick, or possibly move all the way up to number six or seven. Players are never going to actually tank. They are professionals and have worked their entire lives to get to this point in this career.</p><p>But in the backs of their minds, and at the front of the organization’s mind will be draft position. A lot will come to light in a month from now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs this season, creating a prime opportunity for Burkhead.</p><p>With the news that the Jets will be without quarterbacks Mike White and Joe Flacco, they turn back to rookie Zack Wilson. That has not been good for the Jets offense, which could be very good for Houston’s run game.

The Texans will now be rolling with David Johnson as their main man in the backfield, but he hasn’t exactly done great either, failing to register a rushing TD. Houston currently has the worst offense in the entire NFL.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if Lindsay is picked up off waivers by another team to add some more depth in the running back room. Although he isn’t the same player as past, he could still be a viable option elsewhere as a second or third-stringer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They don’t make many mistakes. They know what they’re doing. They’re sound. They’re a good, fundamental team. They tackle well. The backs and receivers run hard with the ball. The quarterback is athletic. Sound in the kicking game. We’re going to have to play a good football game in all three phases.”</blockquote><p>The Titans saw their league-best six-game win streak snapped by the Texans on Sunday. The Patriots, on the other hand, are coming off a dominant 25-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Tennessee entered the game having won six straight games and sitting atop the AFC at 8-2. The win streak included games against strong opponents like the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints.</p><p>Following the loss, head coach Mike Vrabel detailed the problems Sunday, <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/11/21/mike-vrabel-offense-was-its-own-worst-enemy/">pointing directly to one side of the football</a> as the key reason for Sunday’s upset, as NBC Sports’ Josh Alper notes.</p><blockquote>“I think we’ve seen Ryan perform at a high level,” Vrabel said. “Offensive football at any level takes 11 guys. There was a lot of good football out there, unfortunately we turned the football over too many times. Our defense battled. Our offense was its own worst enemy.”</blockquote><p>Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw four interceptions Sunday vs the Houston Texans defense.

They lost 22-13 to the 2-8 Houston Texans. The Texans came into this one on an eight-game losing streak.</p><p>Tennessee is battling some tough injuries and not having the best running back in the NFL in Derrick Henry certainly doesn’t help. No matter if Derrick Henry is playing or not, there’s no excuse for the Tennessee offense to put up 13 points against the Houston Texans. The Texans are arguably the worst team in football and this is a game that Tennessee should be winning by 21 plus points and have their starters out by the fourth quarter. It’s an embarrassing loss for the Titans but they still are in first place of the AFC South so it doesn’t hurt as bad.</p><p>Let’s take a look at some takeaways from the Titans week 11 loss.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (Click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2>Titans Week 11 Takeaways</h2><p><b>3. It’s just a bad loss but it doesn’t hurt that bad</b></p><p>Any loss for the Tennessee Titans is disappointing considering that they are a team with Super Bowl aspirations. At the end of the day, the Titans are still in first place of the AFC South and maybe this loss was a wake-up call for them that they need to step up a bit with Derrick Henry’s absence.</p><p>It’s an ugly loss for the Titans but they need to flush it and just take care of business because it’s over with. They do have a tough schedule coming up as they are taking on an interesting New England Patriots team, a sneaky Miami Dolphins team, as well as the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers who could sneak away victories if the Titans don’t play as well as they can.</p><p>Right now the only thing that the Titans can do is control their own destiny and go out and solidify first place in their division.</p><p><b>2. Ryan Tannehill’s worst game as a professional</b></p><p>Ryan Tannehill had a disastrous game for the Titans. He finished with four interceptions. To put this into perspective, Ryan Tannehill came into the game with only four interceptions through 10 games. This isn’t something that’s going to happen very often and it was just a hiccup. Tannehill has been very serviceable on the season as he has over 2,300 yards, 12 touchdowns, and the eight best QBR in the NFL.</p><p>If the Titans want to make a deep playoff run there are going to need Ryan Tannehill to step up in Derrick Henry’s absence. It’s going to be a lot harder for Tannehill to do what he can do because the run game is not going to be as good without Henry there. We have seen some impressive things that Tannehill can do and for the Titans to succeed, he’s going to need to do just that.</p><p><b>1. The loss of Derrick Henry is really starting to show</b></p><p>This was expected but it was not expected that it will be shown against a team like the Houston Texans. When you lose arguably the best running back in the NFL, your team is going to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-latest-derrick-henry-injury-update-dampens-hope-for-return/">struggle</a>.</p><p>The Titans are going to need to figure this out and try to at least have a serviceable run game in the future to open up their offense.</p><p>There’s no other way of putting this besides that it was a horrible loss. The only thing that the Titans can do from now on is control their own destiny and take care of the ball games that they need to take care of.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In their Week 9 road matchup against the Miami Dolphins, quarterback Tyrod Taylor made a return from his hamstring injury, but he found quite a difficult time in anchoring the Texans offense. He threw a trio of costly interceptions and failed to lead the team to a mere one touchdown drive.</p><p>Houston will be in for a grand test this week against arguably the most in-form team in the NFL today with the Tennessee Titans. Even with the multitude of injuries on both sides of the ball, the Titans simply continue to churn out wins by the week; they have won six games in a row and currently hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC.</p><p>One would presume that the Titans should go on to handily pick up their seventh win in a row with a home victory over the Texans. But as seen over the past month in the NFL, upset wins are now becoming a regular occurrence by the week.</p><p>If the Texans aspire to avoid their ninth loss in a row, then they must achieve each of these four feats in order to pull off what would arguably be the biggest upset win of Week 11.</p><p><i><b>Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2>Texans Week 11 predictions</h2><h2>4. Jacob Martin has his way at the line of scrimmage</h2><p>The Texans rank near the bottom of the NFL in a multitude of team defensive stats this season. At the least, defensive end Jacob Martin has been among the team’s bright spots on this side of the ball.</p><p>Martin is just coming off of a potent performance against the Dolphins in Week 9. He played in 60 percent of snaps on defense and notched a pair of quarterback hits to go along with one sack.</p><p>Martin may be not a player that can single-handedly be a game-changer for Houston, but he sure can be a disruptor to Tennessee’s offensive game-planning.</p><h2>3. Texans pick up timely takeaways</h2><p>As noted, the Texans defense has been a unit that has had plenty of sluggish outings this season. Still, Houston has been a team with a knack to notch much-needed takeaways.</p><p>The Texans are currently tied with three other teams for ninth in total takeaways with 14. They have had a multitude of players step up when it comes to creating pivotal turnovers, from cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. recording key interceptions to defensive back Terrance Mitchell being a disruptor in forcing fumbles.</p><p>Houston should come away with crucial turnovers this week. But the only question will be on whether Taylor and the offense will be able to capitalize on such opportunities. For one, the Texans defense notched a season-high five takeaways against the Dolphins, but the offense failed to orchestrate a single touchdown drive from them.</p><p>This aspect of play may be an X-factor for the Texans this week.</p><h2>2. Desmond King steps up to the challenge in coverage</h2><p>If there is one Texans defensive player that is in dire need of a formidable performance in Week 11, it is cornerback Desmond King.</p><p>While King has emerged as a starter at the cornerback position in his first season with Houston, not much has gone his way so far in the campaign. He has allowed a 76.1 completion percentage while in coverage as the nearest defender to go along with a lowly 120.7 passer rating. More so, he has allowed a perfect passer rating of 158.3 two times so far in the season.</p><p>It is not yet known on just who King will primarily clash with in Week 11, but it may seem that Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown will see him quite a bit.</p><p>If Houston has any aspiration of slowing down the Titans offense, then King must at the least contain Brown’s route-running prowess in the open field. And he has what it takes to do just that.</p><h2>1. Texans end their 30-plus points drought</h2><p>The Texans have had a multitude of lowly offensive performances ever since their standout Week 1 outing when they tallied for a season-high 37 points against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p><p>While the Texans are being tabbed as heavy underdogs in this contest, they should put up a grand fight against the Titans by scoring 30-plus points, which sure would be a shocker considering their recent lackadaisical offensive showings.</p><p>As noted, a win for the Texans over the Titans sure would be a grand upset one in Week 11.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">NFL odds series</a> and make a Texans-Titans prediction and pick.</p><p>There isn’t much to say about this Texans team. They are undeniably one of the least talented rosters in the NFL, a team that would be in contention for the first overall pick if they actually owned their 2022 first-round pick. The lone bright spot has been quarterback Tyrod Taylor, and even he has been mediocre at best. The Titans, on the other hand, look like one of the best teams in the NFL. A dominant win against the Los Angeles Rams on the road in Week 9 showed how good Tennessee really is, and they followed it up with another quality win against the New Orleans Saints. This is essentially another bye week for the Titans, but it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out nonetheless.</p><p><b><i>For more insight on the Texans-Titans matchup in Week 11, listen below:</i></b></p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Here are the Texans-Titans Week 11 NFL odds, <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">courtesy of FanDuel.</a></p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Texans-Titans Odds</b>:</h2><p>Houston Texans: +10 (-110)</p><p>Tennessee Titans: -10 (-110)</p><p>Over: 44.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 44.5 (-110)</p><p><b><i>*Watch NFL games LIVE with</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener"> <b><i>fubo TV (click for free trial)</i></b></a><b><i>*</i></b></p><h2><b>Why The Texans Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Houston owns an abysmal record straight up, but they’ve had a little bit more success against the spread. Houston has covered in four of their nine contests, including a 3-3 record against their divisional opponents. Helping matters is the fact that the Titans haven’t been great against the spread as home favorites. Tennessee has played three games as home favorites and they’ve only managed to cover in one of them. This is the ideal spot for the Texans to pull off a cover against a far superior team.</p><p>The Titans had one of the longest injury reports in the league entering Week 10, and that probably won’t change in this one. The offense has already been decimated by the losses of Julio Jones and Derrick Henry, and now the defense is getting ripped apart by the injury bug. Starting linebackers David Long Jr., Rashaan Evans, and Bud Dupree will likely all enter this game with a questionable designation at best. A team that plays poorly at home combined with a plethora of injuries make a cover for Houston seem entirely possible.</p><h2><b>Why The Titans Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>There is an obvious talent gap between these two teams. Tennessee is an elite team that has legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, and the Texans are in the middle of a total rebuild. The rebuild is especially evident on defense, where the Texans have been shredded this season. Houston has allowed more than 30 points an insane six times this season, a figure that shows just how bad they’ve been. The Texans also allow a whopping 136 rushing yards per game, something that won’t play well against one of the best rushing attacks in the league.</p><p>Despite dealing with a bevy of injuries, this Tennessee defense should perform well in this game. Houston has been held to single-digit points in five of their nine games, including a three-point performance against the Indianapolis Colts. There’s just no reason to think that the Texans will perform well in this game, even with quarterback Tyrod Taylor back at the helm.</p><h2><b>Final Texans-Titans Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is a fairly clear-cut pick. The Titans are a far superior team to Houston, and the Texans haven’t even been particularly good against the spread.

Although the AFC South is not in a close race for the postseason, divisional matchups are almost always competitive. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tennessee-titans-4-bold-predictions-for-week-10-vs-saints/">We’ll be taking a look</a> at this Titans-Texans matchup with some of our Titans Week 11 predictions in mind.</p><p>Tennessee’s defense has turned up the heat in recent weeks, as they’re playing like an elite unit. The Texans are one of the worst teams in the league right now, which doesn’t bode well for their chances on Sunday. There’s a legitimate chance we see the Titans’ defense dominate all day.</p><p><b><i>For more insight on the Titans’ Week 11 matchup against the Texans, listen below:</i></b></p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>The offense hasn’t looked that great, but Tennessee is getting the job done regardless. D’Onta Foreman looked great in his last game and could be in line to produce another solid outing. Additionally, this matchup favors Tennessee heavily. Look for AJ Brown to take advantage of Houston’s weak secondary and for Ryan Tannehill to open up his game. With that said, here are four bold Titans Week 11 predictions for their matchup against the Texans.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Titans Week 11 Predictions</b></h2><p><b>4. Titans defense shuts out the Texans</b></p><p>Tennessee’s front seven has been on a tear. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-bud-dupree-suffers-injury-vs-saints-will-not-return/">The defensive line has been unstoppable</a> as the Titans currently have 27 sacks, making them tied in second for the most sacks on the year. Jeffery Simmons is a monster on the inside, while Harold Landry and Denico Autry are dominating the exterior.</p><p>Meanwhile, the secondary has improved its pass coverage as well. Kevin Byard is playing at an elite level and is in the mix for the Defensive Player of the Year Award. If the Titans’ defense plays as they have been, the Texans might not score throughout this game.</p><p><b>3. D’Onta Foreman goes off for 85+ rushing yards and 1 touchdown</b></p><p>Many believed Jeremy McNichols and Adrian Peterson would provide the one-two punch the Titans need in the run game. However, D’Onta Foreman has come out of nowhere after putting up a solid performance in Week 10. Look for Foreman to capitalize against this weak Houston defense and potentially put on the best performance of his career.</p><p><b>2. AJ Brown dominates with 125+ receiving yards and 3 touchdowns</b></p><p>With Julio Jones on IR, the Titans need AJ Brown to elevate his game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-aj-browns-heartbreaking-admission-on-depression-mental-health-problems/">He’s easily the best available receiver</a> on the roster and will have a chance to show off his skills against the Texans. Houston doesn’t have anybody on the roster capable of guarding Brown, which means he could be in for a field day.</p><p><b>1. Ryan Tannehill lights up the field with 275+ passing yards and 5 total touchdowns</b></p><p>Even though Tennessee has struggled to move the ball, Ryan Tannehill has maintained efficiency under center. Going up against the Texans is a nice opportunity for Tannehill and the rest of the Titans’ offense to get on the same page.</p><p>For that reason, look for Ryan Tannehill to have a great performance. The Texans will do their best to slow him down, but the Titans are likely to prove to be too much for Houston to handle. We should see Tannehill all over the place, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-adrian-peterson-called-out-by-son-with-key-message-on-tennessee-debut/">as he’s a threat through the air and with his legs</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is also the Editorial Manager for ClutchPoints.com. His work has been featured on ESPN, Forbes, Fox Sports, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo! Sports, and plenty of other online publications.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Houston Texans have not seen Deshaun Watson play a single snap this season and it seems unlikely at this point in time that he will play. Instead, they were open to dealing their former franchise quarterback. Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, there were plenty of interested teams, but no one ended up pulling the trigger on a deal for him.</p><p>Now, the future looks very bleak for Watson returning to the Texans. He is still dealing with quite a few off-the-field issues that will need to be resolved before resuming his playing career. However, there is expected to be a large trade market for him in the offseason.</p><p>Last season, Watson ended up playing in all 16 games for Houston. He completed 70.2 percent of his pass attempts for 4,823 yards, 33 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. Watson also picked up 444 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.</p><p>Needless to say, when he’s healthy and no in trouble off-the-field, Watson is one of the best quarterbacks in the game. He is also just 26 years old at this stage of his career. That kind of talent and potential would force plenty of teams to have interest even with the question marks that Watson has around him away from the game.</p><p>All of that being said, let’s dive in and take a look at four teams who should already be targeting an offseason trade for Watson.</p><h2><b>Potential Deshaun Watson Trades</b></h2><p><b>4. Pittsburgh Steelers</b></p><p>Let’s be honest, there are very few teams in the NFL that could use a new starting quarterback than the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger is old and this should be his last season in the league. He has considered retirement over the last two years, but has yet to decide to hang up the cleats.</p><p>Replacing Roethlisberger with Watson would immediately put the Steelers back on the map in the AFC. Having an offense featuring Watson, Najee Harris, Chase Claypool, and JuJu Smith-Schuster (if they retain him again) would be dangerous.</p><p>Pittsburgh has to seriously consider making a change at the quarterback position this offseason. If they choose to go that route, it is likely that Mike Tomlin would prefer a veteran quarterback. Watson would give them that veteran quarterback while still offering a long-term option.</p><p><b>3. Minnesota Vikings</b></p><p>This one could be a bit of a surprise to some readers. The Vikings currently have Kirk Cousins as their starter and they did draft Kellen Mond in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, they need an upgrade at the quarterback position to become real threats in the NFC.</p><p>Outside of the quarterback position, the Vikings are a very good all-around football team. Unfortunately, they have a quarterback who has been proven to be unable to win the big game and make the right plays in those big games. With Watson, the Vikings could immediately jump up to being a legitimate contender in the NFC.</p><p>Deshaun Watson would be a massive upgrade for the Vikings and would provide them with quarterback play that they haven’t had in years. Quite simply, replacing Cousins would be a massive addition in and of itself, even though he is a solid quarterback himself. A star quarterback would make all of the difference for Minnesota and they should be considering the option of trading for Watson.</p><p><b>2. Denver Broncos</b></p><p>One of the teams that was being mentioned as a potential trade destination for Watson in the offseason was the Broncos. They ended up acquiring Teddy Bridgewater from the Carolina Panthers to replace Drew Lock as their starter. But, they also still held onto Lock and do not seem to be ready to just dump him quite yet.</p><p>The opportunity to acquire Watson is one that the Broncos should jump at the chance to do if it arises. Denver is a star quarterback away from getting back into contention in the AFC West. Even Bridgewater has given the Broncos new life.</p><p>Deshaun Watson is a far superior quarterback to Bridgewater and Lock. There is no question about that fact. If the Broncos want to swing big at getting back into serious contention, John Elway should look no further than trading for Watson.</p><p><b>1. Miami Dolphins</b></p><p>Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, the Dolphins were a team that many thought could pull the trigger on a deal for Deshaun Watson. In fact, they were extremely interested in getting something done, but nothing ended up materializing. Revisiting a potential trade in the offseason seems like a very good possibility for both sides.</p><p>Tua Tagovailoa has shown signs of being a potential franchise quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-saints-rb-alvin-kamara-injury-brings-major-fantasy-football-implications/" rel="noopener">for Miami, but</a> he has had consistency issues. The Dolphins are sick and tired of struggling and want to do anything they possibly can to get back into playoff contention. Making a trade for Watson could help them get there next season.</p><p>Deshaun Watson would be able to come in and change everything we currently know about the Dolphins’ offense. They are a unit that has loads of individual potential, but the quarterback play has restricted them.

Last season was arguably the best of his pro career. He finished with over 4,800 yards passing, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The leading rusher on the team was aging David Johnson, with 691 yards.</p><p>Will Fuller and Randall Cobb each missed a handful of games with injuries.</p><p>That’s the player Miami was hoping to acquire. A quarterback that can carry a team on his shoulders, make all of the throws, make plays with his legs, and lead a team.</p><p>Reportedly, the Houston Texans pulled out of the deal because they believe they might be able to get more for Watson after his civil suits have been handled. That is really bold thinking.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Texans <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nfl/houston-texans/news">cannot claim they are better than a two-loss team. </a> One player did not transform their situation in South Florida.</p><p><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408">Here are a few central takeaways from Sunday’s game.</a></p><h2><b>Houston Texans Week 9 Takeaways</b></h2><p><b>3. Tyrod Taylor was rusty, but he also reminded us about the big-picture view of his career</b></p><p>When an NFL quarterback vacancy emerges, and teams think about what to do with a complicated or difficult situation, a natural answer has emerged in recent years: Sign Tyrod Taylor and bring him on as the bridge player for a year before drafting a big-time quarterback or engineering a blockbuster trade. Tyrod Taylor can patch things up and provide temporary relief.</p><p>That thought process wasn’t wrong. It still isn’t. The point is that Tyrod Taylor — much like Ryan Fitzpatrick — is often spoken of in those limited terms:</p><p>“Bridge guy.” “Temporary solution.” “Short-term fix.” He isn’t a long-term answer. He showed why on Sunday.</p><p>Taylor is a capable and reasonably competent NFL quarterback, but he is not consistently great. He has his moments of quality, but he also has his moments of struggle. On Sunday, the Texans got the bad version of Taylor, who missed plenty of open receivers and simply didn’t respond well to the swirl of events around him against the Dolphins.</p><p>Yes, the offensive line let him down, but Taylor had several plays to make which he failed to convert. If he makes those plays, the Texans might have won an ugly defensive slugfest in which Houston contained Miami’s offense the whole afternoon.</p><p>There’s a reason Tyrod Taylor is not a long-term answer or a permanent solution to any NFL team’s offensive woes. He is a temporary fix, not an enduring one. His return to the lineup against the Dolphins was a clarifying moment for the Texans and a lot of people throughout the NFL.</p><p><b>2. The Texans have a defense which is doing its fair share and shouldn’t be seen as the problem</b></p><p>The Texans held the Arizona Cardinals under 30 net points — they allowed 31 to the Birds, but scored two on a safety, for a net total of 29. Any defense which can hold Kyler Murray and Company under 30 net points is a solid group.</p><p>On Sunday, the Texans took the ball away from the Dolphins five times. They limited Miami to 262 total yards and just 47 rushing yards. That kind of defensive performance should win in the NFL 10 times out of 10. The limited yardage is one thing. The huge amount of turnovers is another. Houston brought both components to the table, stifling Miami while also taking the ball away. That should be an unbeatable combination. It would take a spectacularly bad offense to squander that kind of a performance from a defense.</p><p>Gulp. The Texans did exactly that.</p><p>This defense, if it had been paired with Deshaun Watson at quarterback, would be warmly received in Houston right now. The Texans, with Deshaun under center, would have a winning record. This defense is not spectacular, but it has done plenty of heavy lifting this year. In Week 9 against the Dolphins, it was completely abandoned.</p><p><b>1. David Culley’s job is and should be on the line in the coming weeks</b></p><p>While Tyrod Taylor played poorly in Week 9 for the Texans, coach David Culley has to bear some responsibility for this performance. Very simply, if this loss to the Dolphins isn’t sufficiently responded to, Culley should be in trouble.</p><p>Culley faces a big task in the coming weeks, but it is conceptually simple: Cultivate improvements in the offense and Tyrod Taylor. This shouldn’t be too hard. The offensive line is a disaster, but Taylor — who threw three interceptions against the Dolphins — was obviously out of rhythm. If Taylor shakes off the rust and the Texans’ offense produces at a reasonable rate, Culley can and should get a second season.</p><p>However, if the Texans continue to fail to score touchdowns on the road — they haven’t scored an offensive road touchdown since Sept. 19 in Week 2 — and if they continue to face-plant on offense with Taylor running the show, Culley should not be given a chance to coach either Taylor or a new quarterback in the 2022 season. He has to earn a second season in the second half of this 2021 campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mike Gesicki needs to get the ball more</b></p><p>Mike Gesicki made some Superman-like catches today. He’s one of the more talented tight ends in the NFL and it’s puzzling why Miami still doesn’t give him the ball that much. There are some weeks where Gesicki will get targeted more often than not, and then the next week he only has a few targets.</p><p>He’s a very talented tight end and for the sake of the Dolphins, hopefully, their coaching staff realizes this sooner rather than later.</p><p><b>2. If they beat the teams they should’ve they’d be right in playoff contention</b></p><p>The Dolphins had three losses in a row that were extremely tough losses. They lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Atlanta Falcons on last-second field goals. They lost to the Buffalo Bills after only giving up three points in the first half.</p><p>Unfortunately for Miami, they didn’t do what good teams do. When good teams face off against lesser opponents, more times than not, they come away with the victory. If Miami was to win these games, they would be in first place in their division. In sports, it’s tough to play the if game because at the end of the day, the Miami Dolphins are 2-7. With all that talent that’s on that roster, it should never be that way but unfortunately for them, they haven’t been able to get wins.</p><p><b>1. Tua needs to start playing</b></p><p>For most of the time that Tua has been in the Dolphins organization, he has been injured. This was a concern coming out of college. Many people believed that he was injury-prone and right now it looks like those people are right.</p><p>The Dolphins will hope that he can come back for Thursday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. If the Dolphins want a chance to compete against one of the best teams in football, they’re going to need their starting quarterback.</p><p>Times are dark in Miami, but if a couple of things went differently, the Dolphins season could be in a completely different place. Miami needs to start playing some better football and use this as a stepping stone for next season. They have a tough task on Thursday night but they will look to get a win against one of the better teams in football.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jacoby Brissett now is expected to be the Dolphins’ starting QB today, per source.”</blockquote><p>The Dolphins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/miami-dolphins-4-bold-predictions-for-week-9-vs-texans/">can’t catch a break</a>. The last three weeks the Dolphins are 0-3 but they’ve played better football. Their defense only allowed three points to Josh Allen and the Bills in the first half. They lost back-to-back games on last-second field goals. Miami could’ve been 3-0 in this stretch but was unable to come out with even one victory.</p><p>Miami had a chance to get their season turned around today against another 1-7 team. Wins against teams they should beat can turn their season around. Jacoby Brissett will now start for the Dolphins for the injured Tua and it doesn’t look promising for the Dolphins. Brissett hasn’t been great for Miami in the few games he’s started this season.</p><p>Miami didn’t make any moves at the trade deadline and at this point if Tua is injured, they might as well tank the rest of the season and try again next year. This is a tough blow for the Dolphins as they were hoping to turn things around against Houston.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
