Texans Lose to Jets 21-13

The Houston Texans suffered a 21-13 loss to the New York Jets in a Week 9 NFL game. The game was marked by significant struggles from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who completed only 11 of 30 passes for 191 yards and no touchdowns. This performance continues his regression from his rookie season, where he had a passer rating of 100.8, compared to a lower rating this season. The Texans were also hampered by injuries to key receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.

The first half was particularly dismal for both teams, with the Jets trailing 7-0 at halftime despite Aaron Rodgers recording only 32 passing yards in the first half. However, the Jets revitalized their performance in the second half, with Rodgers throwing three touchdowns. Garrett Wilson of the Jets made two impressive one-handed catches, one in the third quarter and another in the fourth, which were crucial in securing the Jets' victory.

The Texans had several missed opportunities, including a 27-yard field goal attempt by Ka'imi Fairbairn that hit the crossbar, and a penalty for unnecessary roughness against the Jets that they failed to capitalize on. Despite the loss, the Texans remain at 6-3 and are still contenders for the AFC South title, but Stroud's performance is a cause for concern.
