The Texans overcame a shaky start on Sunday to rise up and crush the Jaguars 42-28. A strong ground attack and a pair of electric kickoff returns by Andre Davis pushed the Texans to their best-ever season record. At 8-8, the team finished right about where most expected them to, and there is still a [...]
Just when the Texans seemed to be garnering some national attention and respect around the league, they gave it all back Sunday against the Colts, rolling over for a 38-15 loss. After an encouraging start, the Texans went limp on offense, and got slapped around like children on defense. Peyton Manning easily picked apart the [...]
As Reggie Bush missed another game due to a knee injury, Vince Young and Mario Williams both had big games in Week 15. With only two games left in the season, a certain Texans’ defensive end has grabbed the 2006 Draft Tracker contest by the throat, and doesn’t seem likely to let go. Click above [...]

It’s fitting that the Texans were in “Music City” on Sunday, because they played quite a familiar tune. See if you recognize it: Matt Schaub left the game with an injury. The Texans lost an offensive linemen to an injury (two actually) for the rest of the season. The Texans didn’t score in the third [...]

Any football fan will appreciate this. Check out these two videos… the first from 1987 and the second from 2007. Great stuff. Sadly, the latter official was fired for carrying on this great tradition. Yeah, I get that officials should never be the focal point and that they can’t seem to have anything personal against [...]
