It took the Houston Texans nine seasons to finally make the playoffs, so it’s safe to say winning is new to them. Furthermore, the Texans surprisingly fly under the radar a bit and are constantly overlooked during discussions of the NFL’s top teams. And while the whole winning this is new for the franchise, it’s unlikely to last much longer as the Texans continue winning. As the season progresses, and the Texans keep winning, they’re going to begin getting each opponents best game and teams will be shooting to take down one of the league’s elite teams. The Texans don’t have a lot of experience as the hunted instead of the hunters, but they’re going to have to figure it out quickly.
The ability to take care of business week in and week out against opponents giving you their best games is critical of a championship caliber team. The Texans have, however, already been faced with a chance to prove their superiority and championship pedigree once this season, and responded with a la...

With the Denver Broncos now off to a 1-2 to start, people have noticed that Peyton Manning isn’t getting the ball out of his hands the way he used too. In his defense though, he’s still rehabbing, so we know he’s not 100 percent healthy.
One NFL scout told Albert Breer of the NFL Network that “Peyton Manning can’t throw the ball anymore.”
I think that’s a little harsh...

When the Broncos opened up the Peyton Manning era in the season opener vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 9th, Manning didn't turn the ball over a single time, and it was hard to find anything to criticize about Manning's debut with the 'Orange Crush', as he slowly dissected Pittsburgh's defense, going 19/26 for 253 yards and two touchdowns.

Schaub outplays Manning, Texans top Broncos 31-25
For Peyton Manning's detractors, there are no interceptions to analyze this time, no one or two ill-conceived throws to pick apart.
There is, however, another loss to dissect, along with the makings of a pattern the Broncos certainly don't want to prolong: Start slow, finish fast, talk about what might have been.
The latest defeat came Sunday at the hands of Houston quarterback...

Everybody knew that Peyton Manning is great, but perhaps it took us witnessing the team without him last year to realize just how valuable he is. We are getting the same thing this year with the other Payton (with an “a”), Sean, the coach of the Saints.
In a season already filled with surprises, the biggest shocker in Week 3 is the same thing from the opener, how disappointing...

The Broncos vs. Texans game ended up in a score that was not surprising to anyone, but the score does not really tell the story of this game. Once again, Peyton Manning had to play a game of catch-up, scoring 14 points in the 4th quarter and being in it until the end even when the halftime score reflected the Texans were in control of this game, up 21-11 at halftime.
