Former South Carolina defensive powerhouse Jadeveon Clowney, who will miss several weeks of NFL Football action after undergoing surgery to fix a torn meniscus. Apart from Clowney's untimely knee injury, the Houston Texans faced a world of trouble in their 30-17 loss to the New York football Giants. Houston, who started the game 2-0, suffered their first loss of the season in decidedly ugly fashion. The Majestically Bearded Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed only four passes in the first half, and superstar defensive end J.J. Watt couldn't stop Eli Manning's offense on his own.
New York's upset win over Houston was foreshadowed by the news of rookie sensation (and number one NFL Draft Pick this year) Jadeveon Clowney's absence due to injury (via CBS Sports):
"One small glimmer of hope for the G-men is that their patch work offensive line will not have to face first overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday. Clowney will miss several more weeks after undergoing knee surgery for a torn meniscus."
According to Houston's defensive anchor J.J. Watt, there was no excuse for their loss (via Houston Chronicle):
"We played bad football and we got beat."
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions yesterday. Even his luscious, Viking-esque beard couldn't save the Texans from the G-Men.
With no aerial attack to speak of, and workhorse running back Arian Foster's absence due to hamstring troubles, the Texans were crippled on offense as well as defense.
With any luck, Clowney will make a speedy recovery and return to action before long. No one wants a player to be injured at all, but it especially stings when it's your number one draft pick.
