Texans corner has added a lot to defense

Texans announce Bill Walsh, Nunn-Wooten fellowships

Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Johnathan Joseph announced his retirement Thursday on social media.

That means that going into tonight’s Saints-Buccaneers showdown, home teams are 65-65-1 so far this season. That homefield advantage has largely been erased with sparse crowds or no fans at games because of the coronavirus pandemic. Las Vegas though has taken control on its first two drives of the second half. Neither had started an NFL game, but both have been in the league much longer than DiNucci. The Tennessee Titans already lost left tackle Taylor Lewan for the season, and now they are without left guard Rodger Saffold.

This is the Titans' first 2-0 start since 2008, the most recent season this franchise won the AFC South. His final TD pass, a 14-yarder to Chris Thompson, tied it up at 30 with 7:25 left as the Jaguars (1-1) tried to snap their Music City skid. So the Titans turned to Tannehill, the quarterback who led the NFL in 2019 with a 117.5 passer rating. Tannehill opened the game finding a wide-open Jonnu Smith for 63 yards before hitting Smith for a 13-yard TD two plays later. Tannehill added a 9-yard TD pass to Corey Davis on the next drive and threw a 4-yarder to Smith late in the first half.

HOUSTON – The Texans’ final regular-season game will be with a familiar opponent, the Tennessee Titans. Sure, the Texans just beat the Titans two weeks ago. Although a Texans win could spoil the Titans slim playoff chances, don’t expect this team to eagerly play the role of spoilers. They’ve only won a single playoff game since O’Brien took over as head coach. “We have to get past the first round and second round and winning that game.

Joseph has a ton of experience playing against Titans backup Marcus Mariota, and a bit of experience against the Dolphins version of Tannehill. TANNEHILL’S DOLPHIN HISTORY VS. TITANS SUCCESSThis is where the Titans and Tannehill come in. The Titans offense looked atrocious early in the season. Since then, with Tannehill, the Titans offense is humming. A half-season sample size IS enough to determine that the Texans are in real danger of losing the division to a re-energized Titans team.

The Texans know Sunday’s game in Nashville against the Titans will test their true level of resilience. Some of the veterans on the team such as Bernardrick McKinney, Whitney Mercilus, and Johnathan Joseph all played for Vrabel. In their loss to the Broncos, the Texans did experience an offensive spark, but it was way too late. “You always want to throw the first punch and throw the last punch,” said Reid. Throw the first punch and the last punch.”Now, this team will try to throw the final punches of the season.
