00:00Um, speaking of some ground game, we did see the return of Joe Mixon with the Texans, which
00:09obviously helped accumulate a 41 to 21 victory, but it was over the Patriots. You got CJ Stroud,
00:16192 passing yards, three tighties and one interception mixing on the ground with 102
00:21yards upon his return. Also found the end zone. And then we love a big day for Stefan
00:26Digg, 77 receiving yards through six receptions and one touchdown. I know it's the Patriots,
00:32but what can we make of this Texans team being able to put up 41 points and seem like that
00:35sound well-oiled engine that we saw in the beginning of the season? Yeah, they're back
00:40at full strength. They're firing on all cylinders. I will say it was a little bit inefficient from
00:44Stroud in the air, given the fact that, you know, three touchdowns, only 192 yards. He did get some
00:49short fields due to some of the turnovers. You know, Drake May on the other side, making his
00:53first career start. 243 and three passing touchdowns. Pretty good from Drake May. Next week,
01:00they are in London and we see the Jaguars as four and a half point favorites. That's what they
01:05opened up as. The Jags are staying in London from this week to play in next. I think that's a very,
01:10very interesting game. You have a team in the Jags who are not good, but they are over in London. How
01:16much does this travel with a rookie quarterback starting for Drake May actually impact them? I'm
01:21not going to say I like the pats of four and a half, but I kind of like the pats of four and a
01:27half because I, I just, I'm not laying four and a half with the Jags. No, I think it's too risky
01:33with the Jaguars, even though that they're going to be staying there. I think they probably just
01:36have a winning record of like one more win versus the loss when they do play in London. But again,
01:41this team has just kind of been catastrophic. You can't lay much on that. Good shutout for May
01:46though. Also with 38 rushing yards through five carries, but we know that he tends to be a guy
01:49fearless when it comes to using his legs and making those split decisions. So just getting
01:54more settled in his role as a rookie B with that playbook and C with his confidence. I mean, it's
01:59going to be interesting to see how we continue to see him pushing forward, but a big game on
02:03the return for Joe Mixon, big game for the Texans as they get healthier. You're right.
02:08Stroud needs to take the next step. We don't want to see him fall back.
