The Associated Press just released their first team NFL All-Pro roster for 2025, and two Texans players have made the list:

• DE Will Anderson Jr.
• CB Derek Stingley Jr.

In addition, the Texans also had one more player selected for their second team All-Pro roster:

• DE Danielle Hunter

This is Will Anderson’s first first team All-Pro selection, Derek Stingley’s second first team All-Pro selection (2024), and Danielle Hunter’s second second team All-Pro selection (2018).

These are three of the very best players on Houston’s #1 ranked defense, which has held opposing offenses to an average of just...

The Houston Texans are playoff-bound and set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. This will mark the first time in franchise history that the Texans enter the postseason as a Wild Card team. In every previous playoff appearance, Houston qualified as a division winner.

This matchup could turn into a defensive battle, but both teams have enough offensive firepower to make things very interesting.

Here is a look at Friday’s injury report:

The Houston Texans got some welcome news on Thursday, with Jonathan M. Alexander reporting that a source has told the Houston Chronicle that rookie safety Jaylen Reed is expected to return to practice after missing the last five games due to breaking a metal plate in his forearm during Houston’s week 13 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.

Jaylen Reed, a sixth round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State, had been thrust onto the field for the Buffalo Bills game in week 12 due to a cacophony of bad luck at the safety position. Starting safety M.J....

We’re just over 100 days away from the NFL Draft, and while the Houston Texans’ hopes are still alive for their first ever Super Bowl, there are multiple potential Houston Texans playing in the College Football Playoff Semifinals. Below is a list of players for each remaining team in the playoffs who are expected to get drafted in April’s NFL Draft at the positions of need for the Houston Texans.

This is one of those rants that always has to come before something happens. Sour grapes never taste good and they don’t taste good as commentary. Usually, in this spot we would talk about something related to the Texans, but this is the week where these kinds of discussions pop up and everyone complains. Yet, nothing ever seems to be done about the problem.

Divisions exist in every sport as a practical matter. In almost every sport there are more games played within the division. MLB has moved to a balanced schedule, but I’m not sure that was the best...

For the 1st time in franchise history, the Houston Texans are a wildcard team in the NFL playoffs. Another novelty: their playoff run doesn’t start on Saturday in the opening slot. Monday Night Football will see the Texans face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

For those with really long memories, the Houston vs Pittsburgh playoff rivalry was a big deal during the Steelers initial Super Bowl era. Earl Campbell, Terry Bradshaw, Dan Pastorini, Jack Lambert. So many NFL legends went to war in those games.

Unfortunately for H-Town, the Steel City came out on top again and again in those...

Welcome to the final week of the Houston Texans Power rankings! Every year, the power rankings create an interesting chart of the greater football public’s thoughts on the Texans, almost like watching a stock ticker. Their gains and losses week by week mark the thoughts of those bullish and bearish on the Texans alike, and every inflection point tells a story. Out of all my years rounding up the power rankings and throwing my two cents in, this year was by far the most unpredictable.

With Houston’s last victory in the regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts, they’ve reached...

Playoffs. We’ve made it. Houston will face Pittsburgh in the first round and the writers of Battle Red Blog each provided their thoughts and considerations immediately after hearing the Steelers stole a last-second victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Provide your initial thoughts on Houston’s matchup against the Steelers in the Wild Card. What are you concerned about and where do you think the Texans have an advantage?

I just don’t think the Steelers offense challenges our offense enough. My main concern is the Steelers’ front seven against this Texans offensive line. The Steelers defensive line may wreak...

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...
