The Oakland Raiders were unable to overcome the Houston Texans on Sunday, losing 30-12 in a game that saw Texans running back D’Onta Foreman throw three touchdowns. The Texans were able to take advantage of the Raiders’ defensive struggles, as they scored on their first three possessions of the game.
The Raiders were able to get on the board in the second quarter, but it was too little too late. Quarterback Tyson Bagent threw a touchdown pass to tight end Darren Waller, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Texans’ offense. The Texans were able to move the ball effectively throughout the game, as they had two 100-yard rushers in Foreman and Lamar Miller.
Foreman was the star of the game, as he threw three touchdown passes. He was able to take advantage of the Raiders’ defense, which was unable to contain him. He also had a rushing touchdown, which helped the Texans pull away in the second half.
The Raiders were unable to get anything going offensively, as they were unable to establish a running game. Bagent was unable to get into a rhythm, as he was sacked four times and threw two interceptions. The Raiders were also unable to capitalize on their opportunities in the red zone, as they failed to score a touchdown on their first three trips inside the 20-yard line.
The loss for the Raiders was their fourth straight, as they have now dropped to 2-6 on the season. They will look to get back on track next week when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Texans, meanwhile, have won four straight and are now 6-3 on the season. They will look to continue their winning streak next week when they take on the Denver Broncos.
