INSTANT REACTION: Marc and Andre break down the Cincinnati Sizzler | Texans All Access

Game recap [Music] we are running out of superlatives in this Sensational campaign 30 to 27 the Texans win at Cincinnati and it got real interesting and dramatic down the stretch we're live from The Mattress Firm broadcast Booth as the Texans Come Away with back-to-back wins for the second time this season and raise their record to five and four adversity struck several times and they dealt with it and they've dealt themselves fifth Victory on the season with Arizona coming up next cocacola memorable moments there's nothing like football season and you watching and enjoying and listening to football with family and friends drinking ice cold Coca-Cola Coca-Cola together tastes better well Cincinnati got the ball first and they went 75 yards and 10 plays Joe burrow 32 yd touchdown pass to Trent Irwin Trenton Irwin and it was 7 nothing B but the Texans eventually responded with a 66 yd seven-play Drive of their own CJ strad going three for three on the drive and here was one of the throws one back Devin single ter here's the snap CJ looking throwing right side Dell at the six takes it to the goal line he's in touchdown Houston stoud to Dell for six 77 after Matt amendola's extra point and that occurred in the second quarter so tie game late in the first half and the Texans defense dealing in the first half by the way amandola 45 yd field goal and that was big probably giving him some confidence 107 at the break Texans up three they added a Chip Shot from amandola in the third quarter 13-7 and after a three and half by the Bengals the Texans went to work again a two-play drive big Pi on tank Dell helped the cause they got it down to the six and this happened first and goal inside the six St under Center CJ pushes the ball to single ter right side run and Deon is in touchdown Houston single Terry with the rushing TD his first as a Houston Tex and that made it 20-7 all right so Cincinnati you knew they'd make a run kind of like an NBA game everybody makes a run well they did they got a field goal to make it a 10-point game then they got a three and out by their D and then they exploded 64 yard touchdown pass to Jamar Chase to cut the lead to three 20- 17 would Houston be able to respond yes they did a 75 yd six-play drive and CJ strad decided to run it in himself on first and goal Stroud gets the snap CJ looking scrambling forward CJ on the run across the five he's in touchdown CJ strad the quarterback with the touchdown run and the Texans go back up two scores on Cincinnati that was a drive that started in the third quarter ended in the fourth quarter and built the lead back to 10 and along the way in the fourth quarter the Texans got two interceptions on Joe burrow you thought it was their day for sure but the Texans trying to drive out of their end of the field CJ strout on a bootleg play was picked off the ball returned in a goal too situation eventually Joe Mixon short yardage one yd run got the TD and it's a three-point game uh-oh Texans had the ball they had a third and three if they had gotten the first down the game would be over they couldn't get it had to punt back to burrow and guess what happened Cincinnati drove down field Texans eventually made a big stop field goal make was good by mcferson and it's a tie game 2727 but with a little over a minute and a half left for CJ Strat in the Houston Houston offense to get to work plus they had a timeout left in too Ryan's pocket well they got the ball and they drove stoud magnificent Noah brown big catch and run down to the 20 yd line part of his career day back-to-back games over 150 receiving yards for Noah Brown they got it down to the 20 and you thought are they going to be able to make this no fair bearon Matt amandola first game as a Texan could he do it let's listen 38 yd field goal attempt Matt Amandola field goal from the left hash mark for the victory for Matt amandola here's the snap here's the spot here's the kick plenty of leg and it's good the Texans walk off with a win in Cincinnati they take it 30- 27 Matt amandola at the buzzer it was beautiful to see field goal drive after last week's walk-off basically a walk-off touchdown drive this week the field goal ends the game by amandola and the Texans go to five and four on the season and Andre on the morning show of our Flagship Sports Radio 610 Sean Pendergast said this week we now have there's too much time on the clock guy and I think the Bengals would certainly Echo that that CJ strout is too much time on the clock guy for them they tie the game they left too much time for CJ Strat in this Houston offense they went to work and got the win were worried about uh about leaving too much time for Joe burrow mhm and all of a sudden they when they scored now it's too much time for CJ to lead to uh to go back and and put the game away couple of big plays Noah Brown I thought played outstanding football he has been the last few weeks I didn't know coming out of Camp because of some drops and you know unavailable because of injury the beginning of the Season well boy has he made up for the time that he missed early in the year he has come surging back how about this last two weeks for Noah Brown 13 catches 325 yards sweet that's insane and the Texans offense last two games 1,40 yards 69 points Bobby slowick has gotten in a rhythm uh especially the last two weeks uh there is one play that I might stay away from the third down in uh or three three or so late in the game late in the game that that uh to throw the tank throw throw the tank on the fade route because that invites CJ to go there if tank wins right away it's a lower percentage pass on third down and two and in very inviting for a quarterback because you're you lose the concept you have it going to the line of scrimmage but once the ball is snapped now you're just playing football and if something presents itself where a guy is open right away you're going to go there but that's not a high percentage pass in that situation so I'm might change that but I thought otherwise he called one heck of a football game talk to me about this Strat throws the pick obviously super costly but he shakes it off he's able to shake it off for that final drive to get the victory what does that mean what does that say about him well it says that there's growth there and that he's proving to be what everyone has said about him all along that he doesn't make the same mistake twice because on that play uh you don't go to the Crosser after you've already eliminated him and so that's a quick learning experience for him once he sees it on film that I was on him he was covered I went somewhere and then I tried to go back to him well he's out flanked me by then and there's not a throw you can make that you're going to get the ball there that led him into the interception an amazing day total team Victory you have to say that because you picked off burrow twice in your end those are burrow bullets coming your way they deflected enough at the end obviously burrow got the TD when you had the inter reception but he didn't get the final TD to put them in front he got it to Boyd Boyd dropped it they kicked the field goal the rest is history how about single ter today Dre 30 carries 150 yards at a touchdown that's going to strike up a lot of conversation right there that that's a Wally pip moment uh if there ever was one uh running behind this type of this line who has been now I said that they it would be better today because it's the same exact offensive line that has played together for 3 weeks now now consecutively so it's showed in the running game in in uh in motor production yeah you made that point in the pregame show so I got to think even when Pierce gets back that's going to be good for him it's good for anybody to have continuity on the line what about the sack situation our sack our HB sack report the Texans had four sacks in today's game how about Sheldon rankins coming back after missing a couple of weeks he gets three sacks Jonathan grenard continuing his special year uh leading this team in sacks he gets one sack that's a total of four as as part of sacks for Hunger HB will donate $11,000 to the Houston Food Bank every time the Texans sack the quarterback the HB sack attack it's brought to you by HB the official tailgate headquarters of your Houston Texans 544 total yards fourth most in franchise history in a 30 to 27 Victory Jaguars lost today to San Francisco so they're six and three Texans a game back and they've already beaten the Jags once let's not get ahead of ourselves eight games left regular season three game home stretch coming up now we talked about Reliant power players of the game so many to highlight here but our featured player of the game happened to have a career day in the sack department and it was huge it's Sheldon rankins and John Harris catches up with Sheldon in the locker room Sheldon Richardson interview here all right man it's a Victorious locker room in Sheldon rankins I wasn't sure I wasn't sure it was going to be victorious but then I saw 130 left on the clock and I know Seven's got it how are you feeling on the sideline yeah uh we understand if if if if a team going to give seven that much time he going to be able to process it get us down the field get us in position uh operating at a high level to win this game and and that's what he did it's no surprise to us we just understand that you know as a defense we just got to get him back the ball give him as many opportunities as possible to help us win games and he's going to do that before this week Joe bur called you guys a sound defense you think you guys delivered a message today how good your defense can be absolutely I think uh I think today we showed that for for for 60 minutes yeah we're going to fight scratch claw uh do everything within our power to to put ourselves in position to win games make plays and uh put this team on our back and uh and I think we showed that today but there's still another level we can take it to a level for you you went to today three sacks I'm sure you know this it's a career high for you you were all over the place you were making plays even there a couple plays you could have got sacks on they got one yard gains on it what was working for you up inside today yeah uh I just trusted my preparation through the week you know understanding uh you know I missed a few weeks coming you know know with the injury but just understanding my preparation through the week watching tape watching film study uh executing that plan and practice and then understanding that when you get in the game don't don't don't deviate from everything you worked on throughout the week trust in the process trust in the plan I went out there and executed at high level when amund doa's kick goes through the uprights what are you thinking Victory Monday Victory Monday you know absolutely you know coming into a hostile environment like this against a real tough team a playoff team a team that's that's fighting for Super Bowl you know this isn't a team that's just scratching to see how good they can be this is a team that you know in their mind they're fighting to play in the Super Bowl so they're coming to this hostile environment and uh fight all the way to the end to get a victory know seeing that ball go to the upright you know you're thinking wow we're we're we're putting ourselves on the map the type of team we can be the type of Team where we are and uh Victory Monday absolutely Victory Monday well I'll be working but Sheldon you can come in studio anytime my friend congratulations a hell of a game and thank you very much hey thank you for having me all right that interview brought to you by Reliant proud to be the official energy provider of the Houston Texans Reliant Dre quick note on the defense here because they were doing so well for most of this game fourth quarter got a little sticky of course the 64 yard bomb to chase that got away from them 64 yd pass that got them in range late in the game as well Texans handed them field position with the pick but what did you make of the defense overall and as they get people back should get a lot better yeah it should get a lot better but before I go there I I thought the defense had one heck of a performance they gave up some explosives in the second half they really hurt him uh the big pass to Jamar Chase got the Bengals right back in it quickly I think Tyler boy Boyd made a heck of a play at one point in time but when I listen to that interview one thing that really comes to mind and and we're talking about CJ being a rookie quarterback Sheldon rankings is a is a vet okay he is talking about his rookie quarterback in that manner in which if we get the ball we do our job and we give seven another opportunity we feel confident that he's going to get us to the promised land that is way a bunch of respect and mad respect way ahead of time like years ahead of time because you don't feel like that about your quarterback till down the road a little bit CJ's way ahead of the curb and and it's showing because of the respect that the defensive side of the ball and Veterans on that side have for him well the entire city is excited about CJ strout and Beyond the whole league is unless you're playing against him and the Bengals tasted some of that today with CJ strad constructing a field goal drive to win the game 30-27 Matt Amendola 38- yard kick at the buzzer a glimpse at the Cardinals who are in action now they're next for the Houston Texans primesport tale of the tape primesport.com for your VIP experienced needs and Andre Arizona up next and oh good Kyler Murray and J James Connor are back for the Cardinals and that is tough for the Texans next week we'll see how they do they're playing Atlanta as we speak but your thoughts on facing Arizona at home next week well my thoughts my initial thoughts are yes it's Arizona bring them on we need to win to go two games over 500 but I also caution fans that this is the NFL it is a professional football team and you still got a game plan line up give effort and go play them and not make mistakes because you saw that what mistakes will do will get a team back in this in the game quick that's the quickest way for an NFL team to get back in it no matter who they are uh yes Arizona's made a lot of Trades and dumped a lot of players at the trade deadline but uh it's still a professional football team that's going to show up and they're going to show up and play hard and they have Playmakers and Kyler Murray um Hollywood Brown Conor James Connor they've got they've got players so you're gonna have to show up and give the same effort so I expect uh NRG to be nice loud and proud and and uh root this team on as they uh as they come home next week you want to be part of the ride and it has been fun and stressful these last two weeks but each of the last two resulting in Victory backto back for the Houston Texans for the second time this season and as we are done here in the booth it's the flagships postgame show Texans radio with Sean Pendergast and Clint sterer they're going to have players they're going to have the coach so you want to check it all out on the flagship sportsradio 60.com Odyssey app
