The Texans celebrated military service members on Sunday at NRG Stadium with the Salute to Service game. The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Zach Wilson handed the ninth loss of the season to Houston by a score of 21-14. Both teams came into the game with matching 2-8 records. The Jets Defense was reminiscent of the New York Sack Exchange of the early ’80s as Tyrod Taylor was sacked five times on the day.ย (Photos by Jack Gorman)
