The Houston Texans backfield has a feature back; his name is Carlos Hyde. As for Duke Johnson — whom they essentially traded a third-round pick for — he’s seen more time as a complementary, sideline-to-sideline and pass-catching back for Houston. While that’s the role expected for him, he hasn’t been involved as much as he […]

Through the first two games of the 2019 NFL season, it appears as though the Houston Texans offensive line has picked up right where they left off with their lackluster protection.

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills has not been with the team very long. Regardless, he has still managed to make quite the impression on head coach Bill O’Brien.

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil briefly left his team’s win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday due to an ankle injury, but he returned after a few plays and finished the game.

The Houston Texans were barely able to keep the Jacksonville Jaguars at bay by just a single point.

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey has never been shy about expressing his honest regarding the caliber of today’s NFL quarterbacks.

Wood of the […]

Jalen Ramsey knows DeAndre Hopkins better than most.
