The last time the Texans faced the Jets was in a Monday night matchup at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 8, 2012. Arian Foster rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s 23-17 win over the Jets.
The Texans defense lost Brian Cushing, who led the team in tackles heading into the game, early in the second quarter to a season-ending knee injury. J.J. Watt finished the game with a sack, six tackles, two quarterback hits and three passes defensed.
Mark Sanchez was intercepted twice, including once by Kareem Jackson with less than two minutes remaining in the game.
