AFC South Week 10 Recap

Nov 13

Indianapolis Colts 10, New England Patriots 6

The Colts hold on for the win this weekend against the New England Patriots this weekend in Frankfurt, Germany. This was not an impressive win for the Colts, but nonetheless, it was a win. The only touchdown scored in the game was a Jonathan Taylor rushing touchdown in the first quarter, which shows how there was no offense for both teams the entire game. Mac Jones threw a crucial interception in the endzone late in the fourth quarter to seal the game for the Colts.

This game moves the Colts to 5-5 on the season which still keeps them at third in the AFC South division behind the Jaguars and Texans. They come home with a bye week this week after having a long stretch with an away game and a game in Germany. They will hope to get a game above .500 with a win against the Buccaneers in Week 12.

Houston Texans 30, Cincinnati Bengals 27

If you would have told most NFL fans that the Texans would beat the Bengals at home and they both had a 5-4 record in week 10, nobody would believe you, but here we are. The Texans have been the surprise team week after week this season, and they are looking like they have found their franchise quarterback in CJ Stroud. He is not only looking to be an easy pick for Rookie of the Year, but he is also looking to be a potential MVP candidate. After throwing for 356 yards and leading a game-winning drive to beat the Bengals, it is hard to not be all in on CJ Stroud being a great quarterback in the league.

The Texans are currently second in the AFC South and seventh in the AFC putting them in the playoff picture. With three home games in a row coming up, the Texans could keep the ball rolling and stay in the playoff picture.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20, Tennessee Titans 6

This is the Titans’ third straight loss in a row putting them last in the AFC South. Will Levis was named the starting quarterback this week over Ryan Tannehill but has not played like he did in his first start two weeks ago where he threw for four touchdowns. Their star running back, Derrick Henry, had 24 yards on 11 carries which is not what Titans fans want to see from someone who was so dominant just a year ago. There have not been many bright weeks for the Titans this year and it is hard to say where they should go from here after a 3-6 start. They will be headed to Jacksonville next week where they play the divisional leader, Jaguars.

San Francisco 49ers 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 3

The Jaguars were looking like the real deal with five wins in a row until this week when that streak came to an end. The Jaguars were outplayed on both sides of the ball with Trevor Lawrence throwing for 185 yards and one interception. This was really just a poor performance by the Jaguars all around. The 49ers got off to a hot start on their first two possessions and the Jaguars simply had no answer to anything the 49er’s offense did.

Even with a rough loss this week, the Jaguars are still first in the AFC South division at 6-3 with two rival games coming up against the Titans and the Texans back to back. Winning both of these games would be huge for the Jaguars because it would give them at least one win against every team in their division.
