The Jets are hours away from returning to action after their 24-17 loss to the Dolphins in Week 11.

New York travels to Houston to take on a Texans team that found a way to upset the AFC South-leading Titans on the road last weekend. Houston’s defense rose to the occasion in Tennessee and Tyrod Taylor carried the offense on his back, leading the Texans to their second win of the season.

Now Houston has to face Gang Green with Zach Wilson back in the starting lineup.

There's been a lot of talk this whole year surrounding Dolphins & Panthers upgrading at QB particularly with Deshaun Watson. Looking at them play today — it looks clear Carolina needs it more. Tua having a strong day & giving more evidence that when healthy he can be the GUY.

Texans vs. Jets first quarter recap

Texans 3rd drive (5 plays, 24 yards, 2:47) — [continued] QB Tyrod Taylor took another sack to open up the second quarter, but quickly found redemption on the ensuing play as he connected with rookie TE Brevin Jordan for a 13-yard touchdown. Texans, 7-3

Jets 3rd drive (3 plays, -2, 1:02) — LB Zach Cunningham dropped RB Tevin Coleman for a 2-yard loss, and that set the tone for the Jets’ three-and-out.

Texans 4th drive (6 plays, 67 yards, 2:47) — The Texans offense found a way to beat the Jets blitz, and Houston was able to deal. Taylor connected with WR Brandin Cooks for a 40-yard touchdown on a third-and-11. CB Bryce Hall committed pass interference, but Houston declined. Texans, 14-

One of the better free agents the Houston Texans signed in 2021 has been cornerback Desmond King.

The former Los Angeles Chargers 2017 fifth-round pick initially played receiver Andre Roberts off the roster midway through the season with his punt return skills. King has averaged 10.5 yards per punt return in nine games.

King also competed for a starting job at cornerback, which resulted in the club releasing Vernon Hargreaves. The 26-year-old had the best game of the season in Week 11 when he got two interceptions, two pass breakups, and eight combined tackles in the 22-13 win over the Tennessee Titans, another one of his former teams

Normally when a team is leading 14-3 in the second quarter, the run game starts to shut downs. Instead, the New York Jets remained undeterred and kept feeding their stable of running backs.

The commitment to the run eventually broke the Houston Texans, and the Jets finished with 157 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries. In the second half alone, the Jets tallied 101 yards on the ground, and mounted three drives of eight-plus plays that gained at least 40 yards and burned 4:30 off the game clock.

The Texans' two leading receivers so far are rookies. Nico Collins: 2 catches for 28 yards, plus drawing the PI that pulled Texans within the red zone on that last drive Brevin Jordan: 13-yard TD to cap the possession

Memo to Tim Kelly. You have the worst rushing team in the NFL. Stop trying to run. Burkhead for no gain! It's maddening for Texans fans.

The Houston Texans are determining different ways to utilize Jeff Driskel.

Driskel, who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round in 2016 from Louisiana Tech, switched over to tight end. The switch crowds the tight end room for Houston, but also gives the Texans another athlete for special teams.

Special teams coordinator Frank Ross likes the possibility of using Driskel’s size at 6-4, 235 pounds to help out with his special teams units.

“Guy can jump, run,” Ross said. “You know, raw obviously. He has not been the hitter, he’s been at quarterback for so long. He’s trying to avoid as much as possible, now we are going to train him in our techniques. But again,  every player here is a football player first and it’s nice to have a guy who’s willing to do anything whether it’s a positional change or whether he’s asked to do a role that would be a little bit foreign to him within a core player already.â€

Houston Texans rookie tight end Brevin Jordan caught his second career touchdown pass against the New York Jets in the second quarter of Week 12 at NRG Stadium.

Jordan caught a 13-yard touchdown pass on third-and-goal, and Houston took its first lead of the game 7-3 over the Jets.

Offensive coordinator Tim Kelly told reporters on Nov. 24 that he likes the progress the fifth-round pick from Miami has shown

HOUSTON — Defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker is questionable to return to the Houston Texans’ Week 12 match against the 2-8 New York Jets at NRG Stadium. Walker sustained a hamstring injury during the second half after recording a sack on rookie quarterback Zach Wilson— according to Texans’ PR.

Walker, 27, has established himself as a vital piece to the Texans’ defensive line. In nine games played thus far this season, Walker has notched 21 total tackles (13 solo hits), to go along with 1.0 sack on the year

Houston Texans cornerback Tavierre Thomas got a key takeaway against the New York Jets in the first quarter of their Week 12 game at NRG Stadium.

Thomas intercepted a pass that deflected off running back Ty Johnston. The interception of quarterback Zach Wilson setup Houston in New York territory, and ultimately led to a Texans touchdown on the ensuing drive
