HOUSTON -- Just when it looked as if things couldnt get any worse for the Houston Texans in this dreadful season, it has.
Nelson
Agholor Eagles Jersey . The Texans sunk to a new low on Sunday with a 13-6
loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars to extend their franchise-record skid to nine
games. A playoff team the past two years, Houston (2-9) was expected to contend
for a Super Bowl in the preseason and won its first two games. Soon poor play by
quarterback Matt Schaub and a slew of injuries started the losing streak. A
change at quarterback to Case Keenum gave the Texans some life, but the losses
continued to pile up and they were soon dealing with an illness to coach Gary
Kubiak. But as bad as things had gotten, most people assumed that facing the
lowly Jaguars (2-9), who picked up their first win just two weeks ago, would be
just what Houston needed to break out of its funk. Instead Maurice Jones-Drews
touchdown on Jacksonvilles first drive put the Jaguars on top, and they never
trailed against an inept and ineffective Texans offence. "I respect the Jaguars,
but I just never thought ... that this is something that would happen.
Especially in the way it happened," running back Ben Tate said. "I feel very
embarrassed and bad for the city." Josh Scobee kicked field goals of 30 and 53
yards to help the Jaguars win for the second time in three games. Keenum had the
worst performance in his five starts, throwing for just 169 yards with an
interception. Kubiak wouldnt commit to sticking with Keenum, saying he never
makes decisions right after games. "Obviously we didnt execute worth a darn
offensively," Kubiak said. "Defensively we were on the field pretty much the
whole football game." Houston (2-9) was driving late when rookie Ryan Davis
grabbed a one-handed interception off a deflection by Keshawn Martin to seal the
win. The Jaguars pushed their lead to 13-6 with Scobees 53-yard field goal with
about seven minutes remaining. Houston got lucky on its next drive when Keenum
threw a ball right into the hands of Jacksonville rookie Johnathan Cyprien, but
he couldnt hold on to it. It didnt matter much though as the Texans ended up
punting a few plays later anyway. Keenum shouldered the blame for the loss. "Im
very frustrated right now," Keenum said. "We had guys open, we had the right
play calls and I didnt see them I didnt hit them." Jacksonville entered the game
averaging an NFL-worst 61.7 yards rushing a game, but finished with 118.
Chad Henne was 23 of 32 for 239 yards and Cecil Shorts led the team with eight
catches for 71 yards. Kubiak coached from the booth for the second straight week
on the advice of his doctors after returning to work last week after recovering
from a mini-stroke. After the game he was left to answer questions about his job
security and why his team cant get things together. Henne was sacked and fumbled
on third down late in the third quarter. The Jaguars recovered and attempted a
49-yard field goal, but J.J. Watt swatted it down and the Texans returned it 25
yards. It was the second time this season that Watt has blocked a field goal.
Houston didnt take advantage of the opportunity, and Jacksonville got the ball
at its 40 after Dennis Johnson was stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-1 early in
the fourth quarter. Rookie Denard Robinson came in for one play on Jacksonvilles
next drive, and launched a long and accurate pass on third-and-5 downfield to
Shorts. But Johnathan Joseph was there to break it up and the Jaguars had to
punt again. Jones-Drew gave the Jaguars an early lead when he scored on
fourth-and-1 from the 1 on the first drive. Jones-Drew had a 41-yard catch and
run and Ace Sanders grabbed a 51-yard pass to set up the score. Jones-Drew had a
44-yard run in the second quarter on a drive that ended with a 30-yard field
goal by Scobee to make it 10-0. Houston hadnt made a first down on four straight
possessions and had just 20 total yards before a 29-yard run by Johnson 4 1/2
minutes before halftime. But the offence soon stalled again after Keenum was
sacked and the Texans settled for a 49-yard field goal to cut the lead to 10-3
at halftime. Keenum was terrible in the first half, going 5 for 12 with 32
yards. His tough day started early when he was sacked by Andre Branch for a loss
of 19 yards on third down on Houstons first series. NOTES: Olympic gold
medallist Mary Lou Retton attended the game and served as an honorary team
captain. ... Houstons Andre Johnson, who had a career-high 273 yards receiving
in his previous game against Jacksonville, managed just 36 yards receiving on
Sunday.
