You block top pair and you block rundown combinations that could have made straights. I'd cbet this flop a little over half pot because with a pair, some back door straight possibilities and a back door T high flush, your hand isn't good enough to c/c.
With the blockers you've got you're unlikely to get raised here and betting could get him to fold JJ, QQ and some high card combinations that your hand isn't doing that well against.
Apart from the first paragraph, this post is entirely wrong, unfortunately. 7cTd8c9d actually raises the likelihood that villain has 65 -- or a hand that would raise this flop in general. This isn't hard to verify in PPT/OO. I'd suggest doing that in the future instead of relying on fictitious blocker reasoning.
