Texans vs. Commanders: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Sunday's NFL game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Texans vs. Commanders football game
The Washington Commanders are staying on the road on Sunday to face off against the Houston Texans at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 20 at NRG Stadium. The Commanders will be strutting in after a win while Houston will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Washington had a touchdown and change to spare in a 32-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles this past Monday. No one had a standout game offensively for Washington, but they got scores from DE Casey Toohill, RB Antonio Gibson, and RB Brian Robinson Jr..
Special teams collected 14 points for Washington. K Joey Slye delivered a perfect 4-for-4 game.
Meanwhile, Houston came up short against the New York Giants last week, falling 24-16. Like the Commanders, the Texans didn't have any clear offensive standouts, but QB Davis Mills led the way with one touchdown. Mills ended up with a passer rating of 135.40.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. K Ka'imi Fairbairn delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
This next contest is expected to be close, with Washington going off at just a 3-point favorite. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Commanders, who are 5-4-1 against the spread.
Washington's win brought them up to 5-5 while Houston's loss pulled them down to 1-7-1. Two stats to keep an eye on: Washington ranks third in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns allowed, with only five on the season. Less enviably, Houston is stumbling into the matchup with the fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL, having accrued only three on the season. We'll see if the Commanders' defense can keep Houston's running backs out of the end zone.
