With each victory, the Houston Texans increasingly established

EAST RUTHERFORD http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dalton-risner-jersey , N.J. (AP) — themselves as a team to beat in the AFC.Their nine-game winning streak set a franchise record and also raised expectations by the week. So, perhaps their 24-21 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday could, in some way, alleviate some building tension down the stretch.Right, Deshaun Watson?Article continues below ...“You only put pressure on yourself,” Watson said. “For us, we don’t really put pressure on ourselves. We don’t really focus on that. Of course, we didn’t want to lose. We always want to win and try to continue to stack those, but it just kind of goes that way sometimes. It’s the National Football League.“We just try to focus on the next opponent, the next game and try to get back in the win column.”Watson and the Texans (9-4) will get their chance to do that Saturday when they take on Sam Darnold and the struggling New York Jets (4-9).Houston could clinch the AFC South title with a win and then a loss or tie by both Indianapolis and Tennessee on Sunday, or with a tie and losses by both the Colts and Titans. The Texans could also seal a playoff berth with a combination of other scenarios involving several other teams.Either way, they know they can set themselves up nicely with a victory at MetLife Stadium.“With three games left throughout the regular season, I think you home in and focus in,” cornerback Johnathan Joseph said, “especially on one game at a time, 12 quarters of football, however it has to be.”Meanwhile, the Jets are just focused on the finish line — and perhaps the end of coach Todd Bowles’ tenure.New York snapped a six-game skid last Sunday with a 27-23 win at Buffalo Drew Lock Jersey , but it would appear Bowles will not be back next season after four years without a trip to the playoffs. General manager Mike Maccagnan is not a certainty to return, either, with some misses in the draft and free agency during his tenure.“It’s the same thing every week: We want to win every game, regardless of whether we’re going to the playoffs or not,” Bowles said. “We want to get every game and get better as a team. That’s all we’re trying to accomplish.”Here are some things to know about the Texans-Jets matchup:WET WEATHERIt’s expected to rain for much of the day, with showers at kickoff. That will be something different for the Texans, whose home stadium — NRG Stadium — features a retractable roof.“You’ve just got to go out there and try to grip the ball as best you can,” said Watson, playing at MetLife for the first time. “You focus on your footwork a little bit more, be cautious with that and understand that the receivers might — depending on the turf or the grass, wherever we’re playing — (focus on) their footwork. … You’ve got to just go play ball.”SAM’S CLUBDarnold returned from a strained foot that sidelined him for three games and went 24 of 30 passing (80.0 percent) in the win against the Bills. It marked the fifth time in team history a player had a completion percentage of 80 or better and the first since Chad Pennington did it twice in 2007.He also showed off some cool nerves by leading his first fourth-quarter comeback.“I think every experience for him, he’s so into it,” offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said. “He doesn’t get real high, doesn’t get real low, he just takes every moment as a learning moment, both good and bad. So, I think it’s just another moment that he’s going to take for the rest of his career, for the rest of his life and use it as a teaching experience.”MISSING WEAPONSDarnold will be without two key playmakers on offense with top running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) both ruled out with injuries.Elijah McGuire and rookie Trenton Cannon will see increased opportunities in the backfield, while Rishard Matthews and Deontay Burnett could be called on to replace Enunwa.WATT’S UPHouston’s J.J. Watt has bounced back this year to have another strong season after playing just eight games over the previous two years because of a back surgery and a broken leg.The defensive end leads the team with 12 1/2 sacks http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dre_mont-jones-jersey , 22 quarterback hits, 15 tackles for losses and a career-high five forced fumbles. His 88 1/2 career sacks are the second most through a player’s first 101 games, trailing only the 106 that Reggie White had.“The last two years were extremely difficult,” he said. “But, to be here, to be playing meaningful football in December, playing in big games in winter time and me being out there on the field participating in those games, is awesome. This is just, it feels good to be back in that situation, to be back on the field, to be getting the sacks, to be playing good football, to be with the guys.”TAKING CARE OF THE BALLThe Texans did not turn the ball over last week, marking the sixth time this season that they’ve had zero turnovers in a game.It’s the second-best streak in a season in franchise history. A big reason: Watson has thrown just two interceptions in the last seven games after being picked off seven times in the first six games. The debate over whether is the "GOAT" greatest of all time among NFL quarterbacks is an entertaining one, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The top two quarterbacks, and really the only ones in the running for GOAT, are Joe Montana and Tom Brady. With multiple league MVP awards each, along with four and five Super Bowl rings respectively, it is easy to see why. The debate can get quite heated T.J. Hockenson Jersey , especially when one mentions certain Patriots' scandals. Furthermore, whether or not Bill Belichick is just a mastermind coach who could plug any decent quarterback into his system and achieve great success, adds to that debate.But aside from Joe Montana and Tom Brady, there is a third quarterback, currently in the league, who is sometimes suggested as Brady's superior; Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has posted some superior stats to Brady in his time starting for the Packers, and a brief look at his stats include some NFL records, including career passer rating, season passer rating, and of course that 4.13 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio.On the other hand, talking about anything other than wins and Super Bowl rings is somewhat unimportant, because winning big games really is what matters. Nothing I write here will convince Rodgers fans that Brady is better, much like nothing will make Brady lovers think Rodgers is superior. Most analysts will admit that Rodgers has better skills on the field, but Brady keeps a cooler head and has better "intangibles."Aside from their play on the field, we can compare the WAG's of these two icons. Tom Brady has been married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen for a while now, and Aaron Rodgers dated gorgeous actress Olivia Munn until earlier this year. This is a hard call to make, but while Gisele is easily among the hottest football wives out there, Olivia Munn is prettier and has a nicer body. The stunning actress and Rodgers called it quits back in April. Here are fifteen pictures of her that are so hot they may just make Aaron regret dumping her.
