The Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans both suffered devastating blows in Week 1. For the Jacksonville Jaguars, they suffered an unfortunate injury to Nick Foles in the first quarter. On the play, Foles connected with DJ Chark on a 35-yard pass that resulted in six points for the Jaguars. At the same time, the Jaguars […]

The addition of left tackle Laremy Tunsil has not done much to improve the Houston Texans’ offensive line. At least not yet.

The Houston Texans are enjoying a great start to the season, playing competitive football against the New Orleans Saints.

Maybe the most anticipated matchup of Week 1 of the regular season will come on Monday night, when the Houston Texans visit the New Orleans Saints.

Deshaun Watson got off to a fairly great start during his 2017 rookie season with the Houston Texans, but unfortunately went down with an ACL injury at practice.

The Houston Texans selected Deshaun Watson with the 12th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The recent retirement of quarterback Andrew Luck truly puts into perspective of the toll some NFL gunslingers go through.

It’s not surprising that he […]

The Houston Texans appear to have a healthy competition brewing at left tackle heading into the 2019 NFL season.

There’s clearly no love lost between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans following the teams’ pair of heated joint practices.

Asked if he […]

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson recently said that he’s learning from other NFL quarterbacks about just how important certain aspects of play are.

With the talk of the NFL circling around Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson seems to be forgotten as a talented up-and-coming quarterback.

Houston Texans wide receiver Vyncint Smith isn’t a household name yet, but judging by Deshaun Watson’s comments it might only be a matter of time before he is. Smith only played in seven games last year catching five passes for 91 yards and a touchdown, but he has spent time this off-season with his quarterback […]

The most important position for any team in the NFL is the quarterback position. As it stands now, we have some of the best play from under center than we’ve ever seen.

After Keke Coutee’s NFL debut in Week 4 last season, the Houston Texans were hopeful they’d finally found their slot receiver.

But because of hamstring injuries, Coutee played […]

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was sacked a league-high 62 times this past season, so, obviously, he was probably hoping for some better protection heading into 2019.
