A weird thing happened at Edward Jones Dome Sunday when the St. Louis Rams hosted the Houston Texans. First the expected – the Texans outgained the Rams 419-237, had more first downs (22-15) and a minute and twenty seconds more of ball possession time. One would think “easy victory”, right? Not so fast. The Texans [...]
One thing is for certain about the Indianapolis Colts: they have seemed to be able to beat their opponents in just about every conceivable way possible – or so it seems. During Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium, that analogy was definitely put to the test. Down by 13 points at halftime, [...]
Early on at Reliant Stadium, where the Houston Texans hosted the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, it appeared that their game would be a rout. Steve Slaton had his running legs back and Matt Schaub was exacting damage to the 49ers’ secondary – all of this in the first half. But after replacing starting quarterback [...]
The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans actually have something in common – not much in their rushing department but make up for it in spades with superior passing. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, while obviously not Peyton Manning (heck, who is?), has save for Week 1 made a decent accounting of himself. In Houston’s game agaisnt [...]
The Houston Texans were riding a bit of momentum as they hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at Reliant Stadium, riding the arm of quarterback Matt Schaub and the speed of wide receiver Andre Johnson. Unfortunately for the Texans, some mistakes, namely running back Chris Brown’s fumble, along with a supreme effort by Jaguars RB Maurice [...]
The pressure is on for coach Gary Kubiak and the Houston Texans, as entering 2009 this is a team that is expected to once again make a leap forward and become one of the better teams in the AFC. Last season started off like a disaster movie, as the team started 0-4 before they [...]
Going into the offseason, the Texans were in need of help along the defensive side of the ball. The offense was at times inconsistent but definitely high-powered and explosive. Rookie Steve Slaton was a steal in the third round and led the team in rushing. Andre Johnson was, well, Andre Johnson, at [...]
The Texans played what will have to go down as their best game of the season, at least on defense, as they held the mighty Titans to 12 points and pulled out a gutsy 13-12 victory to move to 7-7. The Texans D held the Titans to 281 yards, 13 first downs, and just [...]
The Texans had been a team known for turning the ball over quite a bit in 2008, even more so with Sage Rosenfels at quarterback. Sunday in Cleveland against a fading fast Browns team, it was Cleveland that was in the giving mood, giving up five turnovers in a Texans 16-6 victory to move [...]
The Colts saved their season last Sunday with a gutsy 24-20 win over the Steelers, and this week at home against the underachieving Houston Texans they will look to continue their run at a wild card spot in the AFC. The 3-6 Texans come in after an awful home outing against the Baltimore Ravens [...]
