After one of the most thrilling regular season finales ever, the Houston Texans have found their wildcard opponent in the 2025 NFL Playoffs: the Pittsburgh Steelers. For many Texans fans, this was the preferred matchup of all opponents in the playoffs since the Steelers seem to be the most compromised team, squeaking into the postseason via a missed field goal as time expired. But, for me, this matchup is uniquely difficult, given that I am a Texans fan living deep in the middle of Steelers country. I’ve grown up in Steelers country, my entire family supports the Steelers, and I...

As the top AFC Wild Card team, the Houston Texans must go on the road to face the Pittsburgh Steelers after they won the AFC North on Sunday Night Football. After that? Their path to the Super Bowl is completely up in the air.

This marks Houston’s first-ever playoff appearance as a Wild Card team; all eight of their previous postseason trips came as AFC South champions. That distinction instead belongs to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have won the division for just the third time in franchise history. With that settled, the AFC playoff picture has fully taken shape. Few...

The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 18’s regular season finale:

A tale of two halves: With a slim chance for a home playoff game, Houston played most of its starters in a near-equal first half. However, if it seemed that Houston might be a bit distracted, it was because they kept one eye on the activities in Jacksonville. The Titans offered a brief glimmer of hope, going...

It’s playoff time! The most exciting time of the year, when we get rid of the pretenders of the NFL and get down to the teams that actually might get to the Super Bowl. As part of Wild Card Weekend, we get the Houston Texans, the #5 seed in the AFC, travelling to the Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers, the AFC #4 seed and winners of the AFC North. Set for a Monday Night kickoff, here is the opening line for the game:

HOUSTON: -3.5

As you can see from the link above, the sports bettors like Houston...

See, the thing about being a playoff team, which is what the Houston Texans are this year, is you have no idea what your draft pick is at the end of the regular season. Other teams are “lucky” in that respect that they don’t have to guess anymore. But this is the world we live in and we’re just gonna have to make the most of it.

To answer the question of where our first round pick is, I can simply answer, “I don’t know.” Nobody does yet. But the four letter network, bless their cold, dead hearts, have projected...

All football games have context. The context for this game blew up when the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Tennessee Titans 41-7 to clinch the AFC South division. A very sarcastic thank you to the folks from Possum Holler for showing up and playing a competitive football game there. It’s good to know they weren’t phoning it in (eye roll). At any rate, the Texans clearly were not trying their best because of those results, so it is hard to reach any conclusions from this game individually.

However, we always look at the numbers because the numbers themselves can tell us...

The Houston Texans 2025-26 regular season is over. So you know what that means.

What? No, not playoff coverage, that’s exactly what they’d expect us to do. No, we won’t go into the Texans current nine-game winning streak going into said playoffs. Instead, we’ll take a quick look at the list of opponents for next season! Next season the Texans will face the AFC North and NFC East, the second-place AFC schedule, and the Green Bay Packers.

The day started with a division title within sight. The Tennessee Titans even opened up a 7-0 lead on the Jacksonville Jaguars, so the Texans played most of their starters in the first half. Nico Collins and Kamari Lassiter were healthy scratches and they could have used both players in the first half. However, the Texans still built a 20-10 lead in the first half in spite of some lackluster play on defense and their customary foot shooting on offense.

The Jaguars quickly began to pull away from the Titans and the Texans will to win seemingly slipped away with...

There is one week left in the NFL regular season. No, YOU’RE getting emotional. And while the Texans punched their ticket to the playoffs last week, their slot in the playoffs is not yet certain. Depending on how the ping pong balls fall, the Texans could still win their division and, presumably a three seed with a Saturday afternoon playoff game, or fall all the way to seventh, and get a Saturday afternoon playoff game.

We won’t know until the end of Sunday Night Football tomorrow. But what we do know is who will be able to watch the Texans...

This Sunday, the Houston Texans end their regular season with a tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. For a good bit of the season, this game seemed like it would hold the key to the Texans’ season. However, by virtue of Houston’s victory in LA last week, the Texans are in the playoffs and the Colts look to avoid a losing season after starting the year 8-2. While the Texans have a playoff spot locked up, they do not know who, or even where they will play. Depending on the actions on Sunday, they could play anywhere from Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Jacksonville,...
