Kansas City (-1) at Houston (10-8-17)

[oldunclemark]

8:30 EST Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya in the NRG Stadium in Houston

over-under at 46

 

Houston rookie Deshaun (WonderBoy) Watson (74 of 114, 811 yards, 6 TDs, 4 INTs) gets to take on the NFL's only undefeated team in prime time

Watson's installation at QB has revived WR DeAndre Hopkins who has 31 catches for 311 yards

Halfback Lamar Miller has 257 yards on 68 carries...Houston ran all over Tennessee 57-14 last week.

 

Bit KC has been the beast to the east......stopping NFC East teams Washington and Philadelphia and AFC East favorite New England.

Alex (Game Manager) Smith has thrown for 1,067 yards, 8 TD s and no interceptions...

But hell face JJ Watt and JaDeven Clowney and a fired up Texan group that knows Smith has been sacked 16 times..

Rookie flash Kareem Hunt (68 carries, 502 yards) is the key. If he cant run here....KC will keep punting the back to Watson and the Texans

Houston's O-line plays like 5 blocks of Rice Krispie treats sometimes but Watson runs away from trouble.  The KC secondary is not as good without Eric Berry.

 

 

As much as I'd like to see KC bore us with a Chiefs-style prime time victory Houston fall to 2-3, I think this game may go big the other way...Houston wins by 10 or more

Hope JJ is okay.  That didn't look good.

Lets go KC.. the rest of the AFC is trying to bow down to the Patriots still.. you've got a head start.. keep running and don't look back! lol!

He was sent to the hospital in an ambulance.  Clubs medical staff/teams do not do that for ACL tears.  So I ran to Dr. Chao, and here is his take-

He doesn't feel there is nerve or vascular damage, but I guess there is a possibility of a lateral tibial plateau fracture, that is the worry. And potential ligaments, too.

Once again, Dr. Chao was right on the  money.

 

This was just confirmed.  Sorry J.J.

Yeah apparently that's what it was, a Tibial plateau fracture.  Doesn't sound good at all.  Wish him the best.

As a Colts fan I love JJ but he is done

[Malakai432]

That's a bummer, I'm not a fan of the Texans only because they're division rivals but I really like JJ.

We have to wait to hear about the type of fracture (and displaced or non-displaced) and on an MRI for ligament condition.  This determines treatment and amount of time out of the lineup.

Yeah it doesn't sound that good at all.  Especially if he's having surgery, perhaps it's displaced and the bone is broken, fragmented in multiple places.  The article makes it sound like non displaced can heal automatically after a few months.

This sucks for JJ . Depends on what stage his fracture is. I suffered a stage 6 last august just had the 2 plates and 15 screws taking out a month ago. Go this week to have scan of my knee as we know im going to need MCL and ACL repair , Ill know exactly more Thursday. It sucks for sure. I had to have external then internal fixation. 

[Malakai432]

Man people are getting the snot knocked out of eachother this game.  Another injury.  

[2006Coltsbestever]

Everyone is 2-3 in our Division except Jax, that is fine, they are 3-2, we still play them twice. Andrew is getting healthy. Live in that hyperbaric chamber and hot tub, this is our Division baby!

[strt182]

It is ours brother, we will beat them guys, they have Bortles

[2006Coltsbestever]

If Luck comes back I think we run away with it, Jax scares me as much as a bunch of nats flying around my face on a hot summer night.

[oldunclemark]

  Cant believe how easy KC moves the ball......I;m still suspect as to how long that lasts

[King Colt]

No word on JJ's injury recovery time but knowing him I would hold off all funeral arraignments for this season. Hopefully it may only be a couple weeks. Chris Collingsworth said last night the way his injury is treated now results in a much quicker recovery time than when he had the same injury.

[strt182]

depends on the stage and If he has any soft tissue damage. But he is done for this year ATLEAST.
