Sad report , Texans immediately sacked,Noah Brown…..
The Houston Texans find themselves in the midst of an offensive struggle during a crucial part of the NFL season. Playoff implications are on the line, leaving the franchise with little room for error. A significant change in quarterback position has caused a decline in offensive production. A concussion sidelined C.J. Stroud during the last two weeks. Davis Mills and Case Keenum are the acting quarterbacks, but is struggling to jump-start the offense. As the team navigates through the remaining weeks of the campaign, the second-string gunslingers are desperate for success on the gridiron. The Houston Texans need consecutive wins to secure a playoff berth. The road to the playoffs starts with challenging the wide receiver core.
Outstanding offensive performances helped DeMeco Ryans’ squad take the league by storm at the beginning of the season. Explosions against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers helped Houston establish themselves in the AFC Standings. Tank Dell became Stroud’s favorite target early in the campaign. He recorded 47 receptions and seven touchdowns before a season-ending leg surgery on his fractured fibula in Week 13. His absence was hard to overcome in the following week against the Jets. Nico Collins (1,022) and Noah Brown (559) became reliable targets for the developing quarterback but were non-existent in Weak 13. Houston struggled to put points on the scoreboard – resulting in a 30-6 blowout.
Collateral damage from an embarrassing loss to the Jets bore additional issues for Bobby Slowik’s offense. C.J. Stroud experienced a concussion and has yet to return to the gridiron. Davis Mills (47.5) and Case Keenum (44.4) have had opportunities to take over, but have yet to recreate magic. The veteran quarterbacks are 1-1 in Stroud’s absence and need help from their peers to succeed until the rookie makes his comeback.
The Texans can clinch a playoff berth despite their quarterbacks’ absence. They are one game behind the Indianapolis Colts with two games remaining on the schedule. Upcoming match-ups against divisional opponents will determine if Ryans’ squad is worthy of extending the campaign. Nico Collins must play a pivotal role in Slowik’s scheme to accomplish this task. He leads his teammates core in receiving yards (1,022) and offensive grading (87.5).
