The Roller Coaster That Is Texans Fandom
The final score will say the Houston Texans won a close game over the Tennessee Titans 16-13. If you watched nothing but the last two minutes you will be forgiven if you wanted to canonize Davis Mills. After all, Mills led another go ahead scoring drive late in the game. It would seem like all […]
Did the Texans game leave a bad taste in your mouth? Well not all football is gonna be that bad. Have some late afternoon football to act as a palate cleanser. Anyway, the maps. CBS LATE GAMES Red: Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (Announcers: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo; Referee: Adrian Hill)Blue: Baltimore Ravens at […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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, […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced that starting safety M.J. Stewart would require season ending quad surgery: This comes as a destabilizing blow to the number one defense in the NFL. Houston’s defensive backfield relied heavily on Stewart after former free agent signee CJ Gardner-Johnson was released in week four after struggling to […]
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 10: The Entire Davis Mills Experience: Coming into this game, there wasn’t a lot of expectations […]
The season has been on the line for the Texans since September. Three weeks into the regular season schedule and without a win to show, it quickly became obvious to those watching that this was going to be a difficult year for Houston. Regardless of whether or not the struggle was justified, Houston was not […]
Tonight’s MNF game might actually be kinda good. The Philadelphia Eagles go to northern Wisconsin to play the Green Bay Packers. It’s Jordan Love vs. the ironically named City of Brotherly Love. Here’s what you need to know to watch/listen to/stream tonight’s game: Who: Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) at Green Bay Packers (5-2-1) What: Monday Night […]
It’s hard to look at a game like Sunday’s dispassionately, but that is what we are called to do in this segment. The By the Numbers segment looks at the numbers of NFL games to predict which categories will lead most to success and failure. Some of the numbers may surprise you when you look […]
We still haven’t fully recovered from the 26-point, come-from-behind victory the Houston Texans pulled off this week, breaking dozens of hearts in Jacksonville. So we’ll keep this short and to the point. It’s Sunday Night Football time! Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game: Who: Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3) at Los Angeles Chargers […]
An NFL final score of 36 to 29 has never happened in NFL history until today. When the Houston Texans returned the ball for a last-second score against the Jacksonville Jaguars and declined to go for the extra point, we got NFL Scorigami for the third tie this season. An NFL “Scorigami” is a final […]
It had the makings of a lost game in a lost season. The Houston Texans trailed the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-0 in the first quarter and it seemed like all was lost. Slowly but surely the team clawed their way back into the game with a smothering defense and suddenly effective passing and running game. Pound […]

You know, last week, when I made the extremely funny joke about C.J. Stroud potentially being a target for a bounty, I WAS NOT BEING SERIOUS, SEAN PAYTON. Fight me, you coward! For the honor of Coleridge Bernard Stroud IV! Davis Mills will be lining up under center with a banged up offensive line missing […]
