噴射機隊以 21-13 獲勝，亞倫羅傑斯在經歷了糟糕的上半場後終於恢復了活力

CJ 斯特勞德表現不錯，但在新秀賽季的後續表現中還不夠出色。這並不重要，因為他和其他德州人已經做了足夠的努力，以 6-2 開局。

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was celebrated all last season, and rightfully so. He had one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time.

休士頓德州人隊四分衛 CJ 斯特勞德上賽季整個賽季都受到了慶祝，這是理所當然的。他度過了有史以來最偉大的新秀賽季之一。

And the normal conclusion was that Stroud would be even better his second season. The NFL doesn’t always work that way.

通常的結論是斯特勞德在第二個賽季會表現得更好。 NFL 並不總是這樣運作。

Stroud has been good, but short of great in his follow-up to that rookie season. It hadn’t mattered much because he and the rest of the Texans had done enough to start the season 6-2. But against a 2-6 New York Jets team on Thursday night, Stroud needed to carry his team to a win, and he couldn’t.

斯特勞德表現不錯，但在新秀賽季的後續表現中還不夠出色。這並不重要，因為他和其他德州人已經做了足夠的努力，以 6-2 開局。但在周四晚上對陣 2-6 紐約噴氣機隊的比賽中，斯特勞德需要帶領球隊取得勝利，但他無法做到。

The Jets won an ugly 21-13 game in which Aaron Rodgers finally came alive after a bad first half, throwing for three touchdowns after halftime. The Texans produced very little offense. Houston was without injured receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, and that’s a viable excuse. But still, it was the continuation of some regression for Stroud in his second season.

噴射機隊以 21-13 贏得了一場醜陋的比賽，亞倫羅傑斯在經歷了糟糕的上半場後終於恢復了活力，在半場結束後投出了 3 次達陣。德州人幾乎沒有造成什麼進攻。休士頓接球手尼科·柯林斯和史蒂芬·迪格斯缺陣，這是一個可行的藉口。但這仍然是斯特勞德第二個賽季回歸的延續。

Jets struggle badly in the first half

噴射機上半場表現不佳

Both teams struggled to start the game. The Texans came in dealing with a lot of injuries, which was a big reason they looked off. The Jets just aren’t a very good football team.

比賽一開始，兩隊都打得難解難分。德州人隊在這場比賽中遭遇了很多傷病，這是他們表現不佳的一個重要原因。噴射機隊並不是一支非常優秀的球隊。

Neither team scored until deep into the second quarter. The Jets thought they scored, but rookie receiver Malachi Corley dropped the ball. Corley took an end-around, which was his second career touch, for an apparent 19-yard touchdown. But right before he scored, he let up, dropped the ball in celebration, and he hadn’t yet crossed the goal line. That massive mistake cost the Jets the touchdown and possession, as the ball rolled out of the end zone for a Texans touchback.

直到第二節深入，兩隊都沒有得分。噴射機隊以為他們得分了，但新秀接球手馬拉奇·科利掉球了。科利完成了一次終場衝球，這是他職業生涯的第二次觸球，顯然是 19 碼達陣。但就在他進球之前，他鬆了一口氣，扔球慶祝，但他還沒有越過球門線。這個巨大的錯誤讓噴射機隊失去了達陣和控球權，因為球滾出達陣區，德州人隊觸球得分。

But the Texans didn’t take advantage of it. Joe Mixon scored a 3-yard touchdown, and that was the only score of the first half. Houston couldn’t extend the lead any further. Stroud didn’t produce enough big plays. But in the first half, the Jets were even worse and they trailed 7-0.

但德州人並沒有利用這一點。喬·米克森 (Joe Mixon) 取得 3 碼達陣，這是上半場的唯一得分。休士頓無法進一步擴大領先優勢。斯特勞德沒有創作足夠多的大戲。但上半場噴射機隊表現更差，0-7落後。

Aaron Rodgers had 32 yards passing in the first half. It was the fewest passing yards Rodgers has ever had in the first half of a game in his career, with a minimum of 10 attempts. By the the end of the half, an increasingly agitated Jets crowd started chanting “sell the team” in hopes that team owner Woody Johnson was listening.

阿隆羅傑斯上半場傳球 32 碼。這是羅傑斯生涯上半場傳球碼數最少的一次，至少傳球10次。半場結束時，越來越激動的噴射機球迷開始高呼“賣掉球隊”，希望球隊老闆伍迪約翰遜能聽到。

The Jets needed a rally in the second half just to calm the crowd.

噴射機隊需要在下半場進行反擊才能安撫觀眾。

Jets take 4th quarter lead

噴射機第四節領先

The Jets finally did some good things in the second half.

噴射機隊在下半場終於做出了一些好事。

The best came from Garrett Wilson. Wilson made a one-handed grab as he crossed the field in the third quarter and ran in for the score. In the fourth quarter, he made a more impressive one-handed grab in the end zone on third-and-19, catching it backhanded and somehow getting his shin down in bounds for the touchdown. The Jets led 14-10 after Wilson’s second touchdown.

最好的來自加勒特·威爾遜。威爾森在第三節穿過球場時單手抓球，跑進得分。在第四節，他在第三節和第19 節中在達陣區做出了一次更令人印象深刻的單手抓球，反手接球並以某種方式將小腿壓在界內達陣。威爾森第二次達陣後，噴射機以14-10領先。

The Jets caught a massive break after that. The Texans made a field goal, but the Jets got an unnecessary roughness penalty for hitting the snapper. But Houston couldn’t get a first down, and then Ka'imi Fairbairn somehow missed a 27-yard field goal, clanging it off the crossbar. However, Fairbairn doesn’t miss a field goal if Stroud had capitalized on that Jets penalty and taken his team to a touchdown. Rodgers’ third touchdown, on a nice play to Davante Adams, sealed the win.

此後噴射機隊迎來了一次重大突破。德州人隊投進一球，但噴射機隊因擊中鯛魚而受到不必要的粗糙處罰。但休斯頓未能取得先發優勢，隨後卡伊米·費爾貝恩 (Ka’imi Fairbairn) 不知何故錯過了 27 碼外的射門，球擊中橫梁。然而，如果斯特勞德利用噴射機的點球並帶領球隊達陣，費爾貝恩就不會錯過射門得分。羅傑斯在達萬特亞當斯的精彩表現中第三次達陣，鎖定了勝利。

The Texans (6-3) are still a good team, and likely on the way to an AFC South title. But Stroud hasn’t emerged as an MVP candidate, as some figured he would be. Last season, as a rookie, he had a 100.8 passer rating. This season, he was down to 95.6 before Thursday’s game and it will dip a bit again after he struggled to an 11-for-30, 191-yard passing night with no TDs.

德州人隊（6-3）仍然是一支優秀的球隊，並且很可能正在通往亞足聯南部冠軍的道路上。但斯特勞德並沒有像一些人認為的那樣成為 MVP 候選人。上賽季，作為新秀，他的傳球評分為100.8。本賽季，他在周四的比賽前下降到了 95.6，而在他在 30 投 11 中、沒有達陣的情況下傳球 191 碼之後，這個數字還會再次下降。

He has had some poor games this season, like the Jets loss, an 86-yard game in a loss to the Packers and a two-interception day in a loss to the Vikings. He still is a good quarterback, he just has taken a small step back in his second season. There’s still plenty of time for him to rally, although he’ll have to do so without Diggs who is done for the season with a torn ACL.

他本賽季打了一些糟糕的比賽，例如輸給噴射機隊、輸給包裝工隊時的86碼比賽以及輸給維京人隊時的兩次攔截。他仍然是一名優秀的四分衛，只是在第二個賽季退了一小步。儘管迪格斯因前十字韌帶撕裂而賽季報銷，但他必須在沒有迪格斯的情況下進行比賽，但他仍然有足夠的時間恢復狀態。

Thursday night just wasn’t his night. Stroud set the bar very high during a historic rookie season and to this point, it has been hard to get over that bar.

週四晚上不是他的夜晚。斯特勞德在歷史性的新秀賽季設定了非常高的標準，到目前為止，很難超越這個標準。
