These Tide Ads are awful!

I wish Benjamin played at a level somewhere near Alshon Jeffery.

Eli-ability. Should have taken a QB Gettleman.

2016 wants its tired quote back.

He's been playing both.

First Glance: Texans vs. Bills The Texans (2-3) square off with the Bills (2-3) in Week 5. Here are five things to watch when Houston and Buffalo kick off at noon CT inside NRG Stadium. 1) 4, sure?: Quarterback Deshaun Watson was a limited participant in practice this week, after taking a fair share of punishment Sunday night in the win over the Cowboys. He was sacked once, hit a total of 10 times in the pocket, and hit 10 more times when he ran with the ball. Nevertheless, in a Wednesday press conference he was optimistic about his chances for suiting up versus Buffalo saying he “for sure” would play. “I feel good,” Watson said. “I feel great. We got the W. Able to celebrate with my teammates and my family. Another day in the office just recovering from the game and get ready for Buffalo.” Head coach Bill O’Brien echoed that optimism, and explained what the offensive line, coaching staff, and Watson himself must do to limit his exposure to hits in the future. “Some of it is coaching, some of it’s some decisions,” O’Brien. “Sometimes the ball can come out a little bit quicker, sometimes the play can be better, but we’re all working hard to improve every area of the offense.” 2) Get better in red zone: 3) Just Joshin’- 4) Real McCoy: 5) Super safeties: Enemy Intel: What the Bills said about the Texans A Week 6 matchup on between the Texans (2-3) and Bills (2-3) is slated for NRG Stadium on Sunday at noon CT. Bills' head coach Sean McDermott, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and a few players shared their thoughts on the Texans, as you can see below. Bills head coach Sean McDermott on QB Deshaun Watson: “He’s a headache. We went through the process with him a couple years back and really enjoyed, first and foremost, meeting him and the young man that he was back then at least. Handled himself with class, and I have a lot of respect for him on the field as well. The way he plays, he makes plays with his arm, he makes plays with his feet. I’ve got a lot of respect for him.” McDermott on WR DeAndre Hopkins: “I didn’t sleep much that night because of watching that run. He’s a great player. It’s been fun to watch him develop over the years and I’ve got a lot of respect for him, like I said.” Kareem Jackson is having a season Whether he is making plays on the field or making fans laugh on his weekly KJack TV segment, Kareem Jackson is having fun this year and it shows. “He’s had a good season for us,” head coach Bill O’Brien said. “He’s a versatile guy, a great teammate. You can see that – I know when you guys are in the locker room, he’s just a good, real personable guy and he can do a lot of different things. Very smart player, good tackler, good ball skills, can cover, can play outside corner, can play inside, can play safety. He’s just a versatile guy that has really helped us a lot this year.”

He's under contract next year and can be retained by the Bills through 2020 if they decide to exercise the 5th year option. He was young coming out of Clemson as a Junior, so it's not exactly shocking that he's taken on a more mature approach in his 3rd season.

NFL Week 6 game picks: Patriots over Chiefs; Cowboys top Jags Houston Texans 20, Buffalo Bills 16 1 p.m. ET (CBS) | NRG Stadium (Houston) Could the pesky Bills make it two wins in a row? Why not? They aren't much more lowly than the Texans, who eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeked their way to two straight overtime victories. Let's say this: If Sean McDermott has a fourth down on his side of the field in OT, he probably won't go for it. However, if he faces a fourth-and-1 when he's nearly in field-goal range in overtime, he's not gonna punt and then stand there and clap. Nope, Chris Ivory will be chugging it up in there. Which might be the question here: Will Houston have enough oomph after playing 10 quarters in two weeks? They had better. Trusting Deshaun Watson to play even better this week. Quarterback is the decisive advantage for Houston in this game.

FWIW, Elliot Harrison of NFL.com agrees with you: THURSDAY, OCT. 11 Philadelphia Eagles 23, New York Giants 20 8:20 p.m. ET (FOX/NFL Network/Prime Video) | MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.) The Giants have lost a game on a 60-plus-yard field goal two years running now. Jake Elliott nailed a 61-yarder last year to best Big Blue in Philadelphia, contributing to a rotten start that devolved into a rotten season. New York once again has faltered out of the gate, starting the season at 1-4. (Heyyyyy, better than last year!) In order to rebound, Eli Manning should take more of the vertical shots that Odell Beckham has been wistfully dreaming about. ... Eagles corners Jalen Mills and Sidney Jones have struggled mightily thus far. Look no further than Adam Thielen's highlight reel last week. For Philadelphia, winning starts with running the football consistently. Make third downs manageable; that area has been a veritable black hole for this team (13 for 38 over the last three games).
