Houston Texans
Some quick thoughts about this particular day on the American calendar.
Hopefully, this post finds you enjoying a well-earned day off from work (or, if you are forced to work this day, you can get some well-earned compensation). This past week has seen a ton of emotions, especially the gambit of emotions associated with the Sunday Night Football game last night. Ok, sorry for that reminder, but then again, this is a Texans’ site.
However, this Monday is a day when we can and should step beyond the Xs and Os, scores and standings, and consider something bigger than football....

I...I can’t even begin to comprehend what happened. I REFUSE to comprehend what happened.
Five interceptions.
The Houston Texans got five interceptions off of Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions tonight. Apparently, for the Texans to win, they needed a sixth interception that never materialized.
Ordinarily, if you saw that one team gave up five, I repeat, FIVE interceptions, you would understandably think that it was a blowout against them.
You would somehow be mistaken because the Houston Texans did not manage to capitalize on all those errors. The defense held their own for as long as they possibly could,...

Houston’s final injury report before Sunday night’s game.
The Houston Texans have announced the following players will be inactive for tonight’s Sunday Night Football game at NRG Stadium:
This isn’t good. This isn’t good at all. Without wide receiver Nico Collins and defensive end Will Anderson Jr., the Texans will be significantly thinner on both sides of the ball.
The Detroit Lions have announced the following players will be inactive tonight:...

Wanna watch a Texans game? Here’s how you can.
Good morning, guys, gals, and non-binary pals. Your Houston Texans are playing their second prime time game in a row. Tonight, Sunday night, NRG Stadium will play host to the Detroit Lions, the first home SNF game since...well...week 2 when another NFC North team, the Chicago Bears, came a-calling.
Since this is going to be a prime time game, this is going to be a very short “how to watch” post. You don’t need the cool maps from 506 Sports, since it’s going to be nationally broadcast (gulp) on NBC.

Ryan Mathews of Pride of Detroit joins BRB for five questions
Very rarely does a prime time matchup live up to advanced billing. The NFL got a good one on Thursday night when the Baltimore Ravens narrowly defeated the Cincinnati Bengals. The brass is hoping for another one tonight. On paper it looks like they’ll get one as the Detroit Lions come in 7-1 and the hometown Houston Texans at 6-3.
Records can be deceiving though. We brought in Ryan Mathews to talk about the upcoming matchup to see if there is anything we are missing. At first glance it...

How are fans reacting to the ugly loss to the New York Jets?
Odds are, a lot of us felt triggered watching our beloved Houston Texans look like a string of Tim Tok Fail videos in front of the whole world. Last Thursday night was supposed to allow Demeco Ryans to showcase his next level team on prime time.
Instead, it was shades of Bill O’Brien all over. Against the authors of the butt-fumble, no less.
Sigh.
But, any given Sunday, right? Just not Thursday.
This week brings lots of questions and not many answers. But, the fine folks at...

It’s not everyday you get to interview a player who so greatly impacted your youth. Earlier this week, I had the honor of representing SB Nation and Battle Red Blog while interviewing none other than J.J. Watt. The former Houston Texans defensive end is living a life off the field that matches and surpasses the impact he made on it.
In the video below we discuss his time with the Houston Texans, his role as a parent, his on-screen analysis with Patt McAffee and CBS Sports, as well as his role with the Burnley FC football (soccer) club in England....

Is the young Texans quarterback regressing
There is nothing more important in professional sports than the evaluation of a quarterback. Letting a good one go can set your franchise back several years if not a decade. However, committing to one that is not elite can also set your franchise back several years as well. You can look no further than what is happening with the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars right now.
You could potentially add the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos to that group as well. C.J. Stroud was the darling of the NFL last season and was well...
