Houston Texans lose to LA Rams, 198.44-141.20

There's no sugarcoating it, Houston Texans dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as LA Rams secured a 198.44-141.20 win. LA Rams nabbed a 41.42-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 48.22 points from Deshaun Watson (318 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 24 Rush Yds) and CeeDee Lamb (5 Rec, 21 Rec Yds) and never looked back. Justin Jefferson (7 Rec, 70 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Richard Rodgers (3 Rec, 53 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for Houston Texans in the loss. LA Rams (6-6) will look to keep it rolling against Las Vegas Raiders, while Houston Texans (7-5) will take on Detroit Lions in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
