Tyrod Taylor had been the feel good hit of September. He crushed Jacksonville with two deep bombs to Brandin Cooks, a cover zero seam shot to Pharoah Brown, and a long scramble. In the first half against Cleveland the Texans found themselves tied 14-14. Taylor had one incompletion, threw for a touchdown, and ran for another. At the end of the half he pulled up limp with a hamstring injury. Out came Davis Mills. Houston lost by ten.
This week is a quick turnaround. Next up are the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football. Carolina has Derrick Brown, Yetur Gros-Matos, Brian Burns, Daviyon Nix, Bravvion Roy, DaQuan Jones, Shaq Thompson, Jeremy Chinn, Morgan Fox, Jermaine Carter, and Hassan Reddick will all be sniffing around the box this week.
