[Music] Crowd Goes home happy again from NRG Stadium backto back at home for the Houston Texans they defeat New Orleans 20-13 and the record is now 3 and three on the season CJ strad with two touchdown passes single Terry runs it for 58 yards the team runs for 120 today and gets the victory over New Orleans Andre what do you have in the pass rush report yeah our HB sack report the Texans had two sacks in today's game Sheldon rankins he had one Jonathan granard and Malik Collins shared one or a half sack bringing the total to two as part of sacks for Hunger HB will donate $1,000 to the Houston Food Bank every time the Texans sack the quarterback the HB sack attack brought to you by HB the official tailgate headquarters of your Houston Texans all right Blake Cashman was all over the place today Dre you talked about it this was your guy 15 tackles career best for him two tfls and it's not like he hasn't showed up before had the pick against Jacksonville a few weeks ago two pass breakups big day for him and a big day for the defense really holding the Saints to 13 points is a big accomplishment to use the word big a lot it really is because uh of all the Firepower that the Saints have and to keep them in check uh keep the constant pressure on Derek Carr throughout most of this game I thought the rush rush defense as well when you look at camra being held to just 68 yards or so on 19 carries uh that was phenomenal and I thought that was the main key coming into today's game that they would have to get a handle on him keep him in check and and uh they didn't let him get going they didn't let him get it going and CH had seven catches 36 yards if you told me that before the game I would think all right that sounds like a win did they move the ball well enough though the Texans they did to get the 20 points your thoughts on the offense though and missed opportunities what they need to work on to get better because you know this is one of the things Deo Ryan is going to be talking about during the buy got to be even better on offense can't rely on 13 points surrendered each and every week yeah it's going to be the first thing I think he's asked about in the press conferences uh Red Zone scoring and so when you get down there and especially you get it inside the 5 yd line you're looking to pound it in or figure out a way to get the ball into the end zone and on a couple of occasions they weren't able to do it that be the first question that he's Fielding today and one of the first things that they go to work this week and working on is Red Zone Red Zone scoring but what a performance overall 20 to 13 they defeat a hot Saints team that was coming in off the blowout over New England a lot of confidence coming in I don't remember a game in recent history I me there have been some wins but um that I was this engaged and excited and all the way through for 60 minutes for 60 Minutes of the entire football game where you were sitting on the edge of your seat when the saints got the ball back and they hit a couple of big plays and then all of a sudden the defense started to rise up uh it it was an entertaining game and and fun to be a part of absolutely the pressure the tension amazing and they make the big plays at the end on D when they had to and a play on offense when they had to kill the clock and the threat for good and get out of here with their third victory of the season the Reliant power player of the game proud to be the official energy provider of the Houston Reliant well you can make the case for a lot of players a featured player is certainly Steven Nelson Steven Nelson had an interception on that fourth down stop late in the game his third pick of the Year Texans Victorious 20-3 and we joined John Harris in the locker room with the farmer all right man it's a victorious in a happy locker room standing next to Steve Nelson got your third pick Stephen I don't know what to say about this defense today you guys were all one you had great great plays throughout what was the key to keeping them out of the end zone the number of times you did man just Relentless being relentless man and you know just you know just trying to you know stop that air raid as as much as possible you know and be on top of our keys man and uh you know just fight to the end as you saw it came all the way down down to the end I don't love comparing years but this is a game I think in Prior years Stephen you don't win but you w it today was there something special about this team where today that you guys end up getting the that's the hard work we put in man throughout the week throughout this offseason man uh you know to be able to persevere and and fight through adversity uh we already put the work in for it so uh when it happen you know it's not not a big deal you get the win going into the bu I don't know if you guys were thinking about that but does that make the vibe that much sweeter that you get the W and you're sitting at three and three going into it absolutely man uh you know you know nobody wants to go to the B you know think uh with that with that loss on your mind and it doesn't feel better uh that's good so you know obviously with with the win three and three you know we got a lot to uh improve on and you know it feels good Stephen congratulations man thank you for your time appreciate it thank you thank you man all right Stephen Nelson you got to love postgame interviews with the sound just thumping in the background happy locker room you said it Dre there's nothing like an NFL winning locker room what about the buy though here Dre how do the players handle it you want to keep momentum going but they really do need a rest especially so many young guys on the team it's going to be funny when they come back from the buy fans may not recognize this team because they're going to get so many players back uh back into the lineup as if it were the start of the season so I think it's coming at the right time um as well you kind of get to do some things differently installs uh in in installs in terms of offense newer stuff to to put in as well you're going to Tinker with the defense a little bit move some guys around and all all that usually happens during the bye only three penalties on the board for the Texans two sacks for the Houston Texans CJ strad gets sacked for the first time in a long time went three consecutive games without giving up a sack this Houston team did that was a franchise record but today they got to him they also picked him off for the first time in his career but CJ thrs throws two touchdown passes Texans get the victory on an outstanding defensive day 20-13 over New Orleans 3 and three the record and Carolina next in two weeks by week next week then the Panthers in Charlotte Prime Sports tale of the tape tale of the tape brought to you by primesport visit primesport.com for your VIP experien needs well Dre Carolina played the Dolphins today and they were up 14 nothing at one point Bryce young one touchdown no picks Adam thel 11 catches 115 yards chuba hubard goes for 88 yards 4 and a half per carry they got our old buddy kamu gr Hill on that defense obviously the Dolphins tough to contain 42 to 21 the final today but the Panthers have players and it's the NFL they W up 14 nothing on Miami you got to be at your best if you want to win on the road there's no doubt about it and there's there's a reason that we we yelled at saying uh Any Given Sunday because anybody can get anyone On Any Given Sunday if you especially if you take them lightly or you have injuries or all the things that that factor into uh to football games but yeah that's a team especially at home that's tricky they're looking to they're they're looking at us in terms of they're going to get their first win in a couple of weeks that's exactly what they're thinking and so you can't allow that to happen cannot allow it to happen there will be a lot of attention on CJ strad versus Bryce young but it's the Texans and the Panthers and it'll take place in Charlotte in two weeks cannot wait for the next Texans game as Houston goes to three and three once again the final score from NRG Stadium on crucial catch Sunday the Houston Texans 20 the New Orleans Saints 13 this is Texans [Music] radio
