Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage isn’t likely on a lot of fantasy football teams.

According to Tom Savage, he’s not actually turnover prone, though. From […]

The Houston Texans are currently pretty good at every position except one. Unfortunately, it just so happens to be the most important position on the field.

Deshaun Watson is injured, but appears to be the franchise player the Houston Texans were hoping for.

Tom Savage won’t be able to win the hearts and minds no matter what this season.

A few iffy reports came on Sunday, claiming that the Houston Texans were kicking the tires on bringing in quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Not only were those reports quickly refuted as an iffy PR tactic by the team, but credible reporters have since said the National Football League franchise hasn’t even contacted the polarizing gunslinger. Jay Glazer, […]

With Deshaun Watson gone the way of the dinosaurs, it would be easy to project the Houston Texans to fall off a cliff for the remainder of the season. Houston coach Bill O’Brien, however, claims we should wait a minute before writing them off. “It’s a very resilient bunch of guys, great veteran leadership in […]

The National Football League is going to be a worse place this season without Deshaun Watson in it.

With Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson going down with a torn ACL, it was another opportunity for an NFL team to sign the controversial and still-unemployed Colin Kaepernick.

The New York Jets didn’t have to wait for last season to conclude before realizing they were in desperate need of a new quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bryce Petty, and Geno Smith took turns letting the Jets’ fanbase down with their weekly show of mediocrity under center. On the flip side, the Houston Texans took care […]

Houston Texans coach, and supposed quarterback whisper, Bill O’Brien is going to face a lot of scrutiny this week.

Let all the Jimmy Graham rumors and reports surface. According to the latest batch, the Seattle Seahawks are angling to trade tight end Jimmy Graham to the Houston Texans for left tackle Duane Brown.

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green took exception to Houston Texans owner Bob McNair and his insensitive comments regarding NFL players and their season-long protest of the national anthem, drawing a direct comparison to one of the most obscurely abhorred owners in NBA history — Donald Sterling, former owner of the L.A. Clippers. McNair was […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson has done a relatively splendid job adjusting to the National Football League.

Through six weeks of the National Football League […]

The Houston Texans are off to a strong start this season, and it’s not their defense this time around that’s been the winning formula. Without star defensive end J.J. Watt (fractured leg) along with a handful of other injuries to their stop unit, the Texans have leaned on their offense to do the heavy lifting. […]

After years of searching, the Houston Texans finally have their franchise quarterback in the form of the rookie, Deshaun Watson.

With starting quarterback Marcus Mariota hurt, the Tennessee […]

There is so much to process following another eventful week in the NFL. A lot of it has something to do with injuries to some popular fantasy football starters.

Apparently, Bill Belichick isn’t just a five-time Super Bowl winning head coach. He is also a messenger of good news.  At least that’s what he is to New England Patriots wideout, Brandin Cooks. Speaking to Deion Sanders of NFL Gameday, Cooks revealed that the very first person to inform him in the offseason that he […]

Deshaun Watson’s NFL career is off to a rough start. The Houston Texans quarterback has been abused behind a flimsy offensive line that wasn’t able to protect him from getting sacked seven times in the past two games. No amount of punishment is going to discourage the former Clemson Tiger, however, from showing that he […]

Bill Belichick sounded like a coach who would die to have a player like J.J. Watt play for him during a recent interview with John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
