Houston Texans
Which position(s) would put the Texans over the top?
The Houston Texans are in prime position to make a trade. They combine two of the necessarily elements to benefit from a midseason deal in the NFL. First, they are in first place and likely to be there for the duration of the season. When you are already a playoff team, it becomes that much more tempting to make those one or two moves that could push you over the top.
Secondly, you have definite needs. Even the Kansas City Chiefs are making moves and they are undefeated. It is about...

Texans lose another one in New York
The Texans were an undermanned football team coming into New York and it showed. Yet, there wasn’t much else that was normal about this game. Your Houston Texans lost a 21-13 battle with the New York Jets, but the game maybe shouldn’t have been that close. This seemed like a very similar to the effort in Green Bay. The Texans even had a lead in the fourth quarter like they did during that game.
The game was eerily similar to last year’s game where the Texans held a 7-0 lead at the half....

Not a lot of time so let’s get to it.
The Houston Texans have announced the following players will not be seen tonight.
None of the names here really come as much of a surprise really. But we could sure use Jarrett Patterson right now against this Jets defensive line.

How are fans reacting after the Texans win against the Colts on Sunday?
It’s a tight turnaround this week for the Houston Texans, but that didn’t stop y’all from letting us know how you’re feeling about the team after last week’s infarction-inducing win against the Indianapolis Colts (ha! alliteration!)
So let’s see what y’all had to say about the team this week.
After a bit of a slide due to the loss to the Packers the week before, more of y’all are bullish on the Texans than before. Understandably so, the Texans have complete control over the division with wins...

John Metchie III and Xavier Hutchinson have a chance to shine
With the recent news that wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a season (career?) ending ACL tear last weekend, the Houston Texans are in need of healthy pass catchers.
WR1 Nico Collins is still on IR, with rumors he may return for week 10.
That elevates Tank Dell to the starter position. Unfortunately this season’s version of Tank Dell isn’t nearly as potent as the rookie edition.
That means backups Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III are pressed into service today against the New York Jets.
The Texans have a...

It’s time to turn the red lights on for Green
The Kenyon Green experience has been a failure. What’s worse is that the Texans elected to trade back two spots, and the two players that were selected were DT Jordan Davis and All-Pro Safety Kyle Hamilton. Between the injuries and poor play on the field, Green is trending towards the biggest draft bust since Amobi Okoye in 2007.
The third year rookie single-handedly almost cost the Houston Texans the game against the Indianapolis Colts. It’s clear that any defensive tackle with a modicum of size and speed is an undeniable...

MacGregor Wells of Gang Green Nation joins BRB for five questions
The Houston Texans return to the scene of the crime from last season. The game against the Jets was the absolute low point of the season for the Texans. They loss horribly to a team with a worse record and C.J. Stroud exited the game with a concussion that saw him miss two games. A large part of the problem was a depleted offense that saw every good wide receiver miss most of the game.
Will history repeat itself against the New York Jets? The Jets come in 2-6...

Where do the Texans land after their season-sweep of the Colts?
At the midway point of the 2024 NFL season, the Houston Texans stand atop the AFC South with a mighty 6-2 record. Dominant through the air they are not, but their vastly improved run game and resilient defense has proved the difference and many close contests thus far. C.J. Stroud has continued to look the part of a franchise quarterback in year two (at least for the most part), Will Anderson Jr. appears to be making a legitimate leap to stardom in his sophomore effort, and longtime kicker Ka’imi...
