Texans coach Gary Kubiak said he's sticking with rookie T.J. Yates as his starter even though the Texans signed veterans Jake Delhomme and Jeff Garcia in recent weeks.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that T.J. Yates will continue as the team's starting quarterback, although the coach acknowledged that there is plenty of work to do on the offensive side of the ball if his team is to be playoff-ready. And Kubiak also expressed concern that, in back to back weeks, the defense has struggled in the fourth quarter.
"That's two weeks...

Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak said he is sticking with rookie quarterback T.J. Yates as his starter.
The Texans (10-5), who have already wrapped up the AFC South Division title, have dropped back-to-back games, including a last-minute 19-16 loss at Indianapolis on Thursday night.
Yates was thrust into the lineup after starter Matt Schaub and backup Matt Leinart were lost for...

As we start Week 16 of the NFL season, we now get the final Thursday night game of the regular season with the Houston Texans visiting the Indianapolis Colts. This really should not be much of a game with the high powered rushing attack of the Houston Texans likely to run over the porous run defense of the Indianapolis Colts this evening.
Yes, the Colts logged their first win of...

The jubilation following Houston’s first playoff appearance in franchise history has quickly turned to panic. A sampling from the coverage from the Houston Chronicle on Friday: “In what might have been the worst performance by the Texans in Gary Kubiak’s six seasons as coach, they somehow found a way to lose a second consecutive game to team…

My poor, poor T.J. Yates. Apparently there is a Take it to the Bank curse. Anyway, the season is literally in the home stretch with 11 of 12 the playoff spots possibly being decided this weekend. We had quite the head-turning Week 16 and the spoilers could be out in full force as the Colts proved...

TEXANS (-6 12) AT COLTS
(Thursday night)
T.J. Yates will try to bounce back after a poor outing last week. But it won't be easy. The Colts are playing better, and though they have nothing to play for, I'm suggesting theyll make it two straight.

Houston @ Indianapolis
Seriously, this is the best the NFL network could come up with? I hope they strongly consider flex scheduling next year because of this kind of ugliness. The Texans clinched the AFC South two weeks ago, and then summarily laid a fat egg last week against the Carolina Panthers, at home no less. The Colts on the other hand decided they can still get Andrew...

Houston -7 @ Indianapolis
The Colts got their win to avoid the imperfect season and have no reason to play hard and screw up their draft position. Even if they wanted to, I’m not so sure they’d have a chance anyway. Houston has a top defense and T.J. Yates’ poor...
