Twitter reacts to the Jets beating the Texans 21-14 in Week 12
The Houston Texans were unable to build on the momentum from the big win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 11, and dropped their Week 12 home game against the New York Jets 21-14.
The battle of 2-8 teams, who both possess picks in the top-5 of the 2022 NFL draft, wasn’t an anticipated matchup of Week 12. Even the return of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson wasn’t a compelling enough storyline.
Nevertheless, football fans couldn’t help but monitor the contest. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter as the Jets improved to 3-8 and dropped the Texans to 2-9, ensuring their second consecutive losing season since 2002-06.
Platinum lot #Texans November 28, 2002. 10:00 am. This is what happens when ownership cares more about Easterby than everyone else based on their words and actions. They don’t see how insulting that is at all. #ThatFootballFeeling pic.twitter.com/Ytvb8prndk

Even the most hardcore #Jets or #Texans fan cannot possibly be watching the #NYJvsHOU game.

The move is official: Tytus Howard starts at left tackle.

#Texans with all sorts of action on what looked like an RB screen, but Taylor's pass is tipped & intercepted by Myers. Weirdest return as Myers angled towards the sidelines as he was being chased. Gave away 10-15 yards easy with his choice of direction to run.

That’s what I get for drafting up the Opening-Drive-TD tweet. #Texans

Where would this team be without the production coming from the defensive line? Jacob Martin comes up huge with a sack in the red zone on rookie QB Zach Wilson.

The #Texans have had problems picking up the blitz all year.
Completely unblocked.

#Texans just wished John McClain a happy birthday. The hall of famer has been covering the NFL for 45 years.

Taylor to Jordan touchdown. #Texans on the board

It took 8 weeks for the #Texans to play rookie TE Brevin Jordan. Whatever reason you want to believe as to why, I dont have the energy to argue, but he should’ve been playing earlier. Glad he’s showing his stuff now. pic.twitter.com/OIQnRMkBm7

I can’t believe Saleh wanted to go for 2 this early in the game. It worked but is that even what analytics would tell you to do? #Jets #Texans

#Texans icon Josh Johnson with the 2-point conversion.

Tim Kelly and the #Texans with an absolutely brutal series before the half. Had time and timeouts to try for 7, end up punting.
— Cody Stoots (@Cody_Stoots) November 28, 2021
Wonder who picks up Tim Kelly this off season. Titans? #Texans

If anyone isn't having a sad enough Sunday in Houston:
Carson Wentz looks like the answer for Indianapolis. He's goofy sometimes but they're starting to look really, really scary.

Is it just injuries or do we need to just completely retool our OLine? #wearetexans #texans

The Texans have been rotten offensively since early in the second quarter, and the defense hasn't been much better. The defense better score a TD if they want to win. Jets take over at their 11.

Tyrod Taylor not going to get 215 passing yards smh

Jets’ QB Zach Wilson limped off field and now being examined on the sidelines.

They said statistically this was the most unwatchable game all year. They were right #Jets #Texans

This #jets vs #texans game is as ugly as an NFL game could possibly be.
— Peter Ladas (@PeteLadas) November 28, 2021
Of all the foolish contracts Bill O’Brien handed out as #Texans czar, the Ka’imi Fairbairn extension may have been the worst.
— Greg Rajan (@GregRajan) November 28, 2021
The Texans went from being a good coach away from a top team to not even being a good bad team. We are going to be struggling for awhile! #Texans

When I die I want the Texans to bury me so they can let me down one last time 😌 #Texans
