Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:10:16 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Again and again on Sunday against Atlanta, the Houston Texans failed to get in the end zone and settled for field goals.They finally scored their only touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter, but the Falcons used a last-second field goal to get a 21-19 victory.Houston (2-3) was left to lament its missed opportunities after settling for four field goals before rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud orchestrated the late TD drive.“Third down wasn’t good enough, red zone wasn’t good enough,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We needed to get points there and we didn’t. Credit to Atlanta; they have a really good defense and did a really good job of forcing us to kick field goals in those positions.”Stroud, the second overall pick in the draft, was disappointed that the Texans couldn’t finish drives this weekend after combining to score 67 points in their previous two wins.“It is hard when you live in third-and-long,” Stroud said. “I think (Sunday) was probably our worst day in t...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen tailored his offense around rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson and 2021 NFL rushing champ Jonathan Taylor.Gardner Minshew and Zack Moss look pretty comfortable in it, too.With Richardson suffering his third injury in four games Sunday and being ruled out of next weekend’s matchup at Jacksonville with an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder, and Taylor still working his way into game condition after a 10-month absence, the unlikely combination of Minshew and Moss has somehow given Indy a share of the AFC South lead.Steichen isn’t surprised by how they’ve played.“I think (Minshew) is an elite processor of the game,” Steichen said, referring to what he saw the previous two seasons when they worked together in Philadelphia. “When you’ve got a guy that can process the game quickly and make quick decisions … he’s really good, he’s accurate, he knows where to go with the football at...
