The Houston Texans had no right winning tonight's game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans were playing against an undefeated Bengals team on the road with a mediocre starting quarterback in Brian Hoyer and without their No. 1 running back Arian Foster.
The odds were stacked against Houston and then, Hoyer was knocked out for the rest of the game with a concussion. Now, the Texans needed to rely upon T.J. Yates, who hadn't thrown an NFL pass since Sept. 18, 2014.
While it wasn't pretty (5-for-11, 69 passing yards, one TD), Yates made one solid throw down the sideline and DeAndre Hopkins knew what to do from there, making a ridiculous one-handed touchdown catch to help defeat the Bengals, 10-6.
