Hate week? Hate week. HATE WEEK!

Yep, it’s time for the Texans’ annual pilgrimage to that most unholy of lands, Nashville, Tennessee. Or, as it is known in traditional BRB parlance: Methopotamia.

No Stroud, no Fairbairn this week, but hopefully playing against the BESFs will mitigate those losses enough that the Texans come out with the win.

Here’s what you need to know to watch/listen to/stream today’s game:

Who: Houston Texans (4-5) at Tennessee BESFs (1-8)

What: Week 11 of the NFL season

Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

When: Sunday, November 16, 12:00 p.m. CST

Why: Because:

TV: Fox

Radio:...

The bad news is that we’ll still be without QB C.J. Stroud and K Ka’imi Fairbairn, so we’ll have to expect Davis Mills et al to be the offense tomorrow.

The good news is the Texans play Tennessee tomorrow, so if there was going to be any game where you could theoretically go without your starting quarterback, this is the game to do it.

But will you be able to watch at home? Let’s see what 506 Sports has to say.

Right now, the Texans’ season sits on a knife’s edge. At 4-5, they sit on the outside looking in for the playoffs. Victories need to get banked, the more the merrier. Yet, Houston faces one of the roughest schedules in the league to close out the year. Over their last 8 games, they have to face the Colts (twice), the Bills (at home), the Chiefs (on the road) and the Chargers (on the road). They do get the Raiders (home), Cardinals (home) and the Titans (away), which is their next game. To say that the Titans game is a must-win...

Week 11 brings the second of the divisional bouts with the Tennessee Titans and Cornelius Bumfuzzle of the Possum Holler Tribune was kind enough to join us for five questions for the upcoming titanic bout between the Texans and the Titans. The Possum Holler Tribune has been covering everything Tennessee sports for the past few decades. Bumfuzzle is the three time winner of the Cletus Snarbuckle Award for journalistic excellence given to the best Tennessee beat writer for a sports publication.

The Texans won the last game 26-0 and the Titans have since fired their head coach. They have struggled...

Hello, good evening and welcome to week 11 of the NFL season.

Tonight, we travel to the chilly northeast for an AFC East “battle.” The New York Jets travel to Foxboro to take on the, unfortunately, resurgent New England Patriots.

I ain’t gonna lie, this game looks like it could be ugly. Uglier than Amy Adams-Strunk’s soul (I refuse to call her Amy Adams because the actress Amy Adams doesn’t need to be associated with such ugliness).

But I digress. Here’s what you need to know for tonight’s game.

Who: New York Jets (2-7) at New England Patriots (8-2)

What:...

The Houston Texans are coming off a thrilling home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and are looking to carry that momentum into another divisional matchup — this time against the Tennessee Titans.

Quarterback Davis Mills got the start last weekend after C.J. Stroud suffered a concussion against the Broncos. Outside of the opening drive, Mills looked sharp and fully in control of the offense.

He’s now in line for at least one more start, with Stroud still dealing with concussion symptoms. Houston was extremely banged up last week, and it looks like that trend may continue heading into the Titans...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Houston Texans guard Ed Ingram, who washed out with the Minnesota Vikings, was traded in the offseason to a less stable offensive line, and somehow got MUCH better in the process.

Before the 2025 season began, nobody really knew what the Houston Texans’ offensive line would look like — including the Houston Texans. After a 2024 campaign in which C.J. Stroud was running for his...

“There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.” — Mark Twain

The line above is often attributed to Mark Twain, but we have no proof that he was the first one to say it. The Googles will say that it was either him or someone else and that rabbit hole is a perfect example of the quote itself. Truth is often a four letter word. The simply reality is that the numbers themselves can’t lie. The only thing that can really happen is that people can either lie about the numbers, lie about what they mean, or completely misunderstand them.

Your Houston Texans currently have the #1 defense in all the land. Danielle Hunter was awarded AFC Defensive Player of the Week. He a fellow quarterback predator Will Anderson Jr. are both within 3 sacks of double digits on the season.

Derek Stingley Jr. has 3 INTs so far, including an amazing 1-hander against Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. That puts him at 14 in his career, only 3 back of Jonathan Joseph, the Texans all-time leading interceptor.

Based on the #2 defense on the Los Angeles Rams facing the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, it’s very likely...

It’s never a good sign when players get hurt one after another at the same position. The Texans strength this season has been their secondary, where they have two of the top 10 leaders in interceptions. Kamari Lassiter leads all CBs in tackles… and that’s not because opposing QBs are throwing at him. They are seventh in coverage grade according to PFF and have 20 pass breakups on the season.

The defense works because the Texans coverage is so dominant that Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. have enough time to get to the QB. Unfortunately, the mounting injuries to...
