Especially on the road, turnovers are critical. Its uncharacteristic of me, but it happened and it's something I have to clean up. And I'll do that moving forward.Instead of sparking the Texans after winning Duane Brown Jersey his first start of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Taylor threw his first interceptions of the season as the Texans finished with four turnovers.Taylor was picked off when he tried to throw to wide receiver Brandin Cooks in the end zone at the start of the game when he got hit as he let go of the football.The Texans went 0 for 4 in the red zone; the Dolphins were 2 for 2.Scroll to ContinueVery poor on offense, Culley said.

They went back to Taylor because they said he represents their best chance to win football games. Instead of turning things around, though, it Jacob Eason Jersey was more of the same as the Texans lost yet another game and are now in sole po se sion of last place in the AFC South with the Jacksonville Jaguars winning Sunday.Taylor said his poor performance wasnt because of the leg injuryI feel good, he said.

I have to be better for our team to have a chance to win. And I'll be Seattle Seahawks Kids Jersey better.Its up to me to execute. Obviously, it's a team sport. But I'm the one that touched the ball every play and I have to be better at executing.Culley attributed Taylors problems to poor choices, nothing else, and not the time mi sed.When you go back to watch the video, you'll see why he did what he did, Culley said.
