Jay Williams+FollowTexans lose star defender for Colts finaleHouston’s playoff spot is locked in, but the road just got bumpier: standout corner Kamari Lassiter is out for the season finale against the Colts with a knee and ankle injury. Lassiter’s aggressive, swarming style has made him a force in the Texans’ secondary, ranking third in tackles and tied for first in interceptions. While the Texans have depth, his absence could be felt if the defense needs to step up for playoff seeding. Do you think Houston’s secondary can hold strong without Lassiter, or is this a bigger blow than it seems? #Sports #Football #Texans00Share
James Allen+FollowSix in a Row: Texans Go From 0–3 to Playoff PushSince 1990, only ~2.4% of teams that start 0–3 have reached the playoffs; just six teams have ever done it, and the most recent was the 2018 Texans. This year’s Texans have ripped back to 9–5 (currently in the 7-seed) and are tracking to become the next outlier. They’ve won six straight, including a 40–20 win over Arizona on Sunday behind C.J. Stroud’s 3 TDs. Finish strong, and Houston joins one of the rarest clubs in NFL history. #NFL #Texans #PlayoffPush #CJStroud #StatWatch 20Share
James Allen+FollowFrom 0–3 to 8–5: Texans Beat the Odds againSince 1990, only 2.4% of teams that start 0–3 make the playoffs (shoutout to 2018 Texans). The 2025 Texans have ripped off a massive rebound from 0-3 to 8–5 — and they’ve done a chunk of it without C.J. Stroud. From dead in the water to right in the mix. Can they close it out? #NFL #Texans #CJStroud #PlayoffRace 20Share
phughes+FollowCould Justin Simmons Boost Texans' D?Texans fans, what do you think about the idea of Justin Simmons—aka the Ballhawk—joining Houston’s already stacked defense? The two-time Pro Bowler just said on Up & Adams that playing for DeMeco Ryans would be a dream. With the playoff push heating up and a big SNF showdown vs. Mahomes and the Chiefs, could Simmons be the missing piece for a deep run? Or is the youth movement with Pitre and Bullock the way to go? #Sports #Football #Texans00Share
