00:00Um, speaking of some ground game, we did see the return of Joe Mixon with the Texans, which

00:09obviously helped accumulate a 41 to 21 victory, but it was over the Patriots. You got CJ Stroud,

00:16192 passing yards, three tighties and one interception mixing on the ground with 102

00:21yards upon his return. Also found the end zone. And then we love a big day for Stefan

00:26Digg, 77 receiving yards through six receptions and one touchdown. I know it's the Patriots,

00:32but what can we make of this Texans team being able to put up 41 points and seem like that

00:35sound well-oiled engine that we saw in the beginning of the season? Yeah, they're back

00:40at full strength. They're firing on all cylinders. I will say it was a little bit inefficient from

00:44Stroud in the air, given the fact that, you know, three touchdowns, only 192 yards. He did get some

00:49short fields due to some of the turnovers. You know, Drake May on the other side, making his

00:53first career start. 243 and three passing touchdowns. Pretty good from Drake May. Next week,

01:00they are in London and we see the Jaguars as four and a half point favorites. That's what they

01:05opened up as. The Jags are staying in London from this week to play in next. I think that's a very,

01:10very interesting game. You have a team in the Jags who are not good, but they are over in London. How

01:16much does this travel with a rookie quarterback starting for Drake May actually impact them? I'm

01:21not going to say I like the pats of four and a half, but I kind of like the pats of four and a

01:27half because I, I just, I'm not laying four and a half with the Jags. No, I think it's too risky

01:33with the Jaguars, even though that they're going to be staying there. I think they probably just

01:36have a winning record of like one more win versus the loss when they do play in London. But again,

01:41this team has just kind of been catastrophic. You can't lay much on that. Good shutout for May

01:46though. Also with 38 rushing yards through five carries, but we know that he tends to be a guy

01:49fearless when it comes to using his legs and making those split decisions. So just getting

01:54more settled in his role as a rookie B with that playbook and C with his confidence. I mean, it's

01:59going to be interesting to see how we continue to see him pushing forward, but a big game on

02:03the return for Joe Mixon, big game for the Texans as they get healthier. You're right.

02:08Stroud needs to take the next step. We don't want to see him fall back.
