weekend Cheap Darius Leonard Jersey , the Houston Texans know that they still have plenty of work to do if they hope to get on a roll and turn their season around.The Texans (1-3) squandered an 18-point lead on Sunday before beating the Colts 37-34 in overtime to end a nine-game losing streak going back to last season.Coming up next is a showdown with in-state rival Dallas, a team that enters the game at 2-2 after a victory over Detroit this weekend."There's a lot of things that we need to correct, but when you come out of that game with a win, there's a lot of things that you can look at that you can build on," coach Bill O'Brien said.The Texans got great performances from defensive ends J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday. Watt had two sacks, a tackle for a loss and forced two fumbles. Clowney recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, had two sacks, four quarterback hits and four tackles for losses.O'Brien said Sunday was Clowney's best game this season."He had a very disruptive game ... it was fun to see him back out there playing that way," O'Brien said. "He did a great job."Despite the strong play of Watt and Clowney, O'Brien is looking for improvement on defense this week, especially in the secondary after Andrew Luck threw for 464 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday.The Texans are also searching for ways to better protect Deshaun Watson after the quarterback was sacked seven times by the Colts. The second-year player has been sacked 17 times this season, which is the second most in the NFL.Though O'Brien knows that his team must cut down the number of times Watson is getting hit, he was quick to point out that the problem isn't just with the line."The sacks are definitely not all the offensive line," he said. "I would say, to be honest with you Cheap Quincy Wilson Jersey , the offensive line is probably only responsible for two of those sacks. I think the other five came from missing some assignments here and there at other positions."Houston's offense took a hit on Sunday when receiver Will Fuller left the game early in the second half with a hamstring injury. Fuller, who has 263 yards receiving and three touchdowns, missed the season opener with an injury to the same hamstring.O'Brien didn't have an update on his condition on Monday, saying he'd know more later in the week. With Fuller out, the Texans got a strong game from rookie Keke Coutee, who made his debut on Sunday after missing the first three games with an injury. Coutee finished with 11 receptions for 109 yards."He's a very, very instinctive guy," O'Brien said. "He's got really good quickness, but he's also got really good speed and he's got strong hands. So, he really did a nice job for us in some key moments that we really needed a play because maybe they were doubling (DeAndre) Hop (Hopkins) or Will wasn't in there."If Fuller can't go on Sunday, the Texans could lean on Coutee even more this week. O'Brien expects him to take another step forward this week after getting his first game under his belt."When he sees some of the things that he missed, he's going to really even be better the next time out ... that's what's key about the rookies is when you have a good game like that, you've got to really try to build on it," O'Brien said. The Indianapolis Colts came into their Week 10 AFC South matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars with a lot to prove. Their offense had been electric lately, the defense inconsistent and they needed to put it all together against their divisional foes.The Colts were fantastic offensively in the first half http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ryan-grant-jersey , but the second half left a lot to be desired overall. Defensively we saw the Colts rack up several tackles for loss, but not a single sack and only a couple of situations in which they really forced poor throws from Blake Bortles.In the end, the Colts were saved by another play made by their defense in a crucial spot of the game to win 29-26Colts can’t sustain a single drive in second halfAfter putting up 29 points in the first half and exploiting several weaknesses in the Jaguars’ defense, the Colts were completely shut out in the second half. The Colts only possessed the ball for 7:42 of the final 30 minutes of the game, did not maintain a drive of more than five plays, and also had an interception on one of two costly drops by Colts’ pass-catchers.That is not winning football, and the Colts are incredibly lucky to have pulled one out against one of the worst quarterbacks in the league in terms of passing ability. Eric Ebron has been one of the Colts best free agent signings in yearsMany were worried about the acquisition of Ebron this offseason with his past issues of dropping passes. He’s some of that this year as well, but he’s been nothing short of fantastic for the Colts as a whole. He’s only got two games this season without a touchdown, and now he’s got two games with multiple touchdowns. He’s had at least 7 targets in 5 of his 9 games played, already has a career-high in touchdowns, and he is on pace to shatter his previous best in receiving yardage.Ebron’s 3 touchdowns today were perfect examples of what type of dynamic he brings to the offense with Luck under center. The tight end room was expected to be a strength for the Colts, but Ebron’s efforts have made it a unit full of mismatches for opposing defenses. The Colts running game took a major step backThe Colts had been surprising everyone with their potent running game of late as they’d put up more than 200 rushing yards in back-to-back games and Marlon Mack looked to be breaking out as a true NFL lead back.The Jaguars’ were a very average run-stopping defense up to this point in the season, but aside from Jordan Wilkins’ big 53-yard run, the Colts run game was stagnant and outmatched to say the least. The running backs weren’t hitting it hard, the blocking up front was very inconsistent and the Colts averaged just over 1.2 yards per carry (23 carries) without Wilkins’ only contribution to the game.Now Rigoberto Sanchez Jersey , the Colts did have successful plays in the running game such as the 2-point conversion from Mack, but there were also big disappointments as well. The Colts were up 29-23 midway through the fourth quarter, were in a 3rd-and-1 and couldn’t find any positive yardage in a big spot. The Colts still need that complementary aspect of the running game to round out their offense despite Andrew Luck being so good in his comeback bid this year. It needs to return or the Colt will struggle down the stretch.Colts tackling woes lead to big pointsOne of the largest takeaways from the Colts season thus far has been the linebacking corps largely being a very good tackling bunch. Anthony Walker has been good at keeping running backs and receivers to short yardage after the catch. Today, however, he was part of a unit that allowed far too much and it was a large part of the Jaguars ability to put points on the board.About halfway through the second quarter as the Jaguars were driving, Leonard Fournette caught a screen pass from Blake Bortles and cut towards the middle of the field. Walker dove at Fournette, throwing a shoulder at him from behind, and it went for big yardage to get inside the Colts’ 5-yard line, and eventually the drive finished with a touchdown.Another example was on the Jaguars’ first touchdown of the game as Donte Moncrief ran for an 80-yard touchdown reception. Near the 30-yard line, Malik Hooker had an opportunity to either secure the tackle or get Moncrief out of bounds. He did neither and Moncrief had a clear path to the end zone after that.There were multiple other examples, but the other that comes to mind is the 12-yard pickup on 3rd-and-11 from Blake Bell after he dodged Kenny Moore which would have been about a 5-yard gain had Moore completed the tackle. Now the Colts lucked out and this drive ended in a punt, but they gave Bortles far too many opportunities to keep possessions alive.
