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 7:

Maybe it WAS the opponents: When Houston outscored the Titans and Ravens 70-10, it did beg the question whether Houston’s offense was coming into its own or was the offense benefiting playing two of the worst teams in the league. Based on Monday’s result, it was the later. Granted, Seattle brings one of the best defenses in the game, particularly...

I’ve been writing for this site for going on five years now. I have been watching Houston Texans football since they beat Dallas 19-7. I have been watching Houston NFL football since the late 1970s. At no point did it ever feel like work. Last night did. A lot of it was a quick turnaround from a 9 PM Central start to a 6:30 AM start at school the next morning. The rest of it was the fact that I knew I had to watch because I needed to be able to report everything back to you.

The city of Houston hasn’t seen a snap of Texans football since their 44-10 manhandling of the Baltimore Ravens way back on October 5. Since then, the Colts have roared to 6-1, the Jaguars are turning into pumpkins and the Titans are.. well, the Titans.

With that said, the national spotlight was on Houston and Seattle tonight, as the two teams battle on Lumen Field as they each look to solidify the respective courses of their season.

For Seattle, this would arguably be the best defense that they’ve played all year. Also, a win would make them 5-2 and keep...

For the last two weeks there’s been a constant argument going in my head. In case you forgot, two weeks ago the Texans beat the Ravens comfortably 44-10. It was the kind of game we’ve been dreaming of all season. All phases of the ball looked good. But what was it? Is it because the Texans are starting to develop as a team and the offensive line finally showed some kind of cohesion which kept C.J. Stroud upright for most of the game? Or is it because they were playing against a severely injured Baltimore Ravens team that was missing...

Once upon a time there was an NFL that had six divisions. One of which was the NFC West.

To make sense of this division, prior to 2002, was to drive oneself to madness. A division for the western teams of the NFC included, somehow, San Francisco, California (which is as west as this country gets outside of Alaska or Hawaii) and Atlanta, Georgia (which was most definitely not very west. In fact, it’s extremely not west.

So here we are with an old fashioned (pre-2002) divisional matchup.

Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game:

Who: Atlanta...

As you can see, the Texans are taking Sunday off again; they’re going to play, don’t worry, they’re just saving their energy for Monday night in Seattle for their tilt with the suddenly resurgent Seattle Seahawks.

But we’re here to help you with your Texans withdrawal. There are other games being played right now, possibly even in your neighborhood. Even if they aren’t, there’s bound to be a game being televised in your area.

So let’s ask the fine folks at 506 Sports who’s playing where and when. Take a look at what’s coming up for the early schedule.

The Houston Texans are coming off their bye week and will look to extend their two-game win streak as they head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks.

After a slow start to the season, Houston has taken care of business against a couple of weaker opponents, but now they need to prove they can stack wins against the better teams in the league.

DID NOT PARTICIPATE:

-WR Christian Kirk (Hamstring) OUT

FULL PARTICIPATION:

-S Jaylen Reed (Knee) QUESTIONABLE

-DT Denico Autry (Knee) QUESTIONABLE

-CB Alijah Huzzie (Knee) OUT

Houston will be without starting wide receiver Christian Kirk...

The Texans and their 2-3 record currently hold the 11th spot in the 2026 NFL Draft. Given that five of their next six games come against teams with winning records, it wouldn’t be surprising if Houston ends up picking around this same spot in next year’s draft.

In a recent “way too early mock draft” by ESPN, the Texans are forced to go back to the well and draft another high-end offensive lineman to bolster a struggling offensive line. For all their offensive line woes, the Texans have drafted an offensive lineman in the first two rounds each of the...

Set your watches and drink your coffee. The Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks will be playing the late game on Monday night. Game time is 9 PM Central standard time. It’s a school night folks. Some of us have work early the next morning. Be that as it may, it promises to be an exciting game between two very accomplished defenses. John Gilbert is joining us from our sister site Field gulls. We may be rivals on the field, but in the press box we try to help each other out as much as we can. Gilbert was kind of...

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

Tonight, we have a matchup for Thursday Night Football that people are calling “the most thrilling matchup of Thursday Night Football taking place on October 16, 2025 between 7:15 p.m. CDT and roughly 10:00 p.m. CDT.”

It’s a weirdly specific hype line but at least it’s an honest one.

So let’s sit down, open up a beer (or whatever) and embrace the football equivalent of watching old people eat.

At any rate, let’s watch some football here!

Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game:
