What was good, bad, and ugly from the 2024 season finale?

There is one good thing about Saturday football: it gives me 24 hours to process my feelings after watching that. One thing I will say off the bat is that I hate conspiracy theories. They are lazy and have maybe a one percent chance of actually being true. The officials were not in the bag for the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL is the biggest entertainment product probably on the planet. They could promote any team in the conference championship game.

Yes, the Chiefs have Taylor Swift and all...

A hard fought game goes the other way again

There are days when you know how everything is going to turn out. The division round between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs was one of those days. All of the best laid plans of mice and men were not going to change the outcome of this one. Give your hometown team all of the credit in the world. They played hard and made some big plays, but they just didn’t have enough to get it done.

The final score will say that the Chiefs won 23-12, but this game...

It’s all on the line this afternoon.

Good afternoon all you guys, gals and non-binary pals and welcome to the playoffs.

It’s Saturday afternoon on divisional round weekend and that can only mean one thing: time for some Houston Texans football!

I did not change that last paragraph at all from last week, because it’s the Texans so they’re obviously going to get the earliest possible Saturday game in the playoffs.

Today, we reenact the second leg of The Gauntlet where the Texans went into Kansas City to face a looming juggernaut in the Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking...

How is everyone feeling before the big game?

We hope this is not the last one of these this year. The Texans have reached their high water mark. They have gotten into the division round of the playoffs numerous times in their franchise history. They’ve never gotten beyond that point. Today we will find out if history is going to be made or if the same old same old will happen again.

I have to admit that I’m not as confident as my fellow fans in this outcome. I personally think it will be a one score game, but I...

It’s time to lock those parlays in!

The Houston Texans are riding high after an explosive victory against the Los Angeles Chargers that has sent shockwaves throughout the league. But…danger looms in the horizon. A red hue bakes into the sky as the morning approaches. And, you know what they say: red sky in the morning, sailor’s take warning!

Yes, the eve of Houston’s divisional round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs is here. This tilt will be great drama for a plethora of reasons: a 2019 divisional round rematch, a Justin Reid revenge game, or even Houston’s mere presence...

Wanna watch a Texans game? Here’s how you can.

So here we are again, preparing to watch the Houston Texans play in the Divisional Round. The Texans stand on the precipice of the Conference Championship except for one nagging problem: the Kansas City Chiefs, who are the considerable favorite to win.

It’s a lot to hope for, but weird things happen in the playoffs. Maybe Andy Reid takes a wrong turn and ends up somewhere in Nebraska. Maybe Patrick Mahomes gets eaten by snails. Maybe Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift break up and he just cries on the field for...

Jared Sapp of Arrowhead Pride joins BRB for five questions

The only three teams standing in front of the Texans and their first Super Bowl appearance were on their schedule this past season. That sometimes makes these little features more tricky as we try to think of new topics of discussion. The Chiefs and Texans just saw each other a month ago, so not a whole lot has changed from the outside looking in, but every day is a new day and a new opportunity to get a new result. We sat down with Jared Sapp of Arrowhead Pride again...

Where do they Texans land after their win over the Chargers in the wildcard round?

We’ve got another week of the Power Rankings! I have to admit, I wrote last week’s power rankings article thinking it was going to be my last of the season. Being underdogs at home and welcoming in a (seemingly) red-hot Los Angeles Chargers team did dull my optimism in the days preceding that game, and boy, was I wrong!

The Houston Texans completely silenced the Chargers’ offense, sacked quarterback Justin Herbert four times, and nabbed FOUR interceptions off of him during their wildcard game. Their...

Or do the Kansas City Chiefs get a bye week?

Some of the worst moments in Houston Texans playoff history have come at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. On January 9th of 2016, the 2015 edition of the Texans got smoked like a cheap brisket 30-0 by the Chiefs. On January 12th, 2020 the 2019 Texans jumped out to a 24-0 lead, only to get slaughtered 51-31.

Houston head coach Demeco Ryans is currently 0-1 against the Chiefs, while KC head coach Andy Reid is 11-2 vs H-Town.

Essentially, if history is any indicator, this weekend will not...
