How Close are the Texans?
With the 2011 season in the books, the NFL now switches into one of the most exciting times of the year, the offseason. This is where teams try to find answers and fix issues from the previous year, and find the magical formula for the 2012 season. There is some time until teams report for training camp, something like 7 months, not to mention the free agency period and NFL draft...

2012 NFL Draft: Houston Texans Edition – Part 2
Yesterday I delved into the possibility of the Houston Texans pursuing a NT in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft. However, that was pure speculation as my best guess would be that the Texans would draft a wide-receiver in the first round.
The need for a receiver to compliment Andre Johnson was made glaringly clear this past season.
WR Jacoby Jones, who has become public enemy...

Texans Need a Wide Receiver
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle noted that the Texans should be in the market for a talented wide receiver.
Fantasy Spin:
This is a clear area of need for Houston, as Kevin Walter is 30 and unexciting as a possession receiver, while the explosive Jacoby Jones suffers through long bouts of inconsistency. Plus stud Andre Johnson has trouble staying healthy. McClain is hoping...

This Pinball Catch by Houston’s Jacoby Jones is Too Much For Peyton Manning
It wasn’t until late in the fourth quarter of their Thursday night game against the 1-13 Colts that the Houston Texans were able to complete a conversion on third down, having gone 0-8 despite leading Indy 13-12. The Texans were finally able to nail that elusive third down conversion in pretty well the most unconventional way possible.
Facing a 3rd and 5 from the Colts’ 31...

Andre Johnson Ruled Out
Wide receiver Andre Johnson has been ruled out for Week 16, according to Stephanie Stradley of the Houston Chronicle.
Fantasy Spin:
Johnson will be missing his third straight game with his hamstring injury. Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones will remain Houstons starting tandem at receiver in a good match-up against the Colts on Thursday Night Football.

The Houston Texans are sitting at 10-4 and in the midst of their best season of their short franchise history. They just had their 7 game win streak ended by the Carolina Panthers, and the Texans must adjust on the run.
Trying to fix their issues the Texans must get ready for the Indianapolis Colts this Thursday night on a short week. The Texans had 17 players on Monday that did...

Texans Mauled by Panthers
The Texans were mauled by the Panthers 28-13 at Reliant Stadium.
Fantasy Spin:
Quarterback T.J. Yates was coming off his first career 300-yard performance, but lost momentum today as he completed 19 of 30 passes for 212 yards, with zero touchdowns against two costly interceptions. Stud running back Arian Foster took care of business for fantasy owners though, as he bruised his way...

Peyton’s Place no More as Yates, Texans Clinch AFC South
In their nine-year franchise history the Houston Texans have never participated in an NFL postseason. Whether it was the shortcomings of their teams or the fact that they play in a division that is headlined by Peyton Manning, for some reason or another the Texans continuously fell short. Since the Texans inauguration, Manning and the Indianapolis Colts have won seven consecutive...

Right now, the top five seeds in the AFC are as follows: the Texans, the Ravens, the Patriots, the Broncos, and the ever-stubborn Steelers.
To make it more exciting, all of these teams won in Week 14.
Another thing to add to that is the only team who had a smooth, easy game this week was the Ravens. They easily disposed of the winless Indianapolis Colts at home Sunday afternoon...

NFL Week 14 Recap: Texans-Bengals
As I said in this week's preview, I thought the Texans would prevail in a tightly contested nail biter. But not even Nostradamus himself could have predicted how wild this one would be. T.J. Yates and the Texans defense rallied in the second half from a 13 point defect and pulled out an improbable win. The rookie signal caller led the team on a 13-play, 80-yard drive, with 2:33...

In most seasons, the Texans first playoff berth would be the story of the week. It’s not often that a third-string rookie quarterback completes a 10-point fourth quarter comeback to win a division title. T.J. Yates drove the Texans 80 yards in 2:31 capped off with a touchdown with two seconds left to Kevin Walter…

Bengals drop to No. 8; will need wins and help to make playoffs
The Bengals were two seconds away from a huge win against one of the AFC’s top teams Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Two seconds proved to be too much, however, and Houston’s 20-19 victory courtesy of T.J. Yates’ 6-yard touchdown pass to former Bengal Kevin Walter and the extra point by Neil Rackers, another former Bengal, put a major crimp into Cincinnati’s postseason possibilities...
