Where do the Texans land after beating the Cowboys?

The Houston Texans’ mid-season skid now appears to be over with their gradual, merciful defeat of the lowly Dallas Cowboys. Although, despite the large margin of victory, this Texans victory carried with it the hallmarks of every Texans game this season: a strong first half followed by a shockingly dormant second half, way too many field goals, and a sloppy offensive performance overall.

Thankfully for the Texans, running back Joe Mixon was running with a purpose tonight. Responsible for all of the offense’s touchdowns Monday night, Mixon finished with:

Opening odds for the Texans and Not-The-Oilers

After taking advantage of the hapless Dallas Cowboys continued self-destruction on Monday Night Football, your Houston Texans have a short week to celebrate. Then, it’s on to another hated rival, the oh-so-bad 2-8 Tennessee Titans. You know, the team that wishes they were still in Houston. The franchise also referred to as the BESFs and Not-The-Oilers.

As the Not-The-Oilers race for the basement like an IQ-challenged blond in a slasher flick, the Texans are looking to notch win #8 on their 2024 belt. This will also present as win #4 against the AFC...

That’s much better. Let’s review.

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 11:

This was the year to get an experienced top-tier running back. Arguably, the best free agent running back signing rests between Saquon Barkley or Derrick Henry. Right behind them, you must put Houston’s acquisition of Joe Mixon. Where would this offense be without him? 20 carries/109 yards/three TDs, to go along with two receptions for...

What was the good, bad, and ugly from Monday night’s victory?

There are final scores and there are numbers. Those things can tell you a lot, but neither of them tell you the same thing as watching the actual game. Fortunately, we have done all three and can look at everything that went on. In any one game, the numbers can lie. When you take all of the numbers put together they end up telling a story. Through eleven games and we can tell a pretty good story.

Of course, we will start telling that story when we get to...

The Texans beat the Cowboys 34-10 in Week 11 to improve to 7-4. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Central Time.

The Houston Texans are 7-4 through Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season. They are still in first place in the AFC South. The Texans beat the Cowboys 34-10 this past week.

It feels good to be a fan of the only NFL team in Texas.

Football is weird. You can feel the deepest pit of despair at one point and then be sitting pretty at the end of the night.

Such is what happened for the Houston Texans tonight against the Dallas Cowboys.

Going into halftime, we had seen this story before: a sputtering offense bolstered by a defense doing its absolute best to keep the Texans in it while also, somehow, looking like they were doing anything but that.

The first quarter started very well with a 45-yard touchdown run...

The NFL equivalent of the Red River Shootout (since one of these teams is Oklahoman).

Once every four years, we get to relive the first matchup the Houston Texans ever played. For those of you too young to remember (personal note: crap, I’m old), the Texans’ first ever game in franchise history was a Monday night showdown against Quincy Carter and the Dallas Cowboys.

The Texans, understandably, were underdogs going into their first ever game; and, let’s be honest, the hype surrounding the Cowboys is as undeserved as it is unrelenting.

Funny how some things never change even after all...

C.J. Stroud has been dormant too long…tonight, he makes his return.

Ten weeks into the 2024 NFL season, and the Houston Texans are war-torn, yet in control of their destiny in the AFC. Losses like those against the New York Jets and Detroit Lions will put a plucky young team like the Texans in the doldrums, but next up is one of their most anticipated games of the entire season: playing the Dallas Cowboys, in Dallas. Now their third prime time game in a row and coming hot off the announcement that Beyoncé will be performing in the Christmas Day...

Houston Texans star wideout is back baby!

When the Houston Texans selected Nico Collins in the 3rd round of the 2021 NFL Draft, it was hard to find anyone who thought the heir apparent to Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins had arrived. And, former head coach David Culley didn’t do much with Collins in year 1 to dispel that notion.

Then 2 key things happened: Cal McNair hired Demeco Ryans as the new head coach and then general manager Nick Caserio drafted C.J. Stroud.

Cue the applause for Nic Collins highlights.

In his rookie season, Collins managed to gain 446...
