The Houston Texans Are Pure Frauds, No Matter Who's Playing Quarterback
Two interminable streaks were on the line today in Houston: the Texans’ unbroken history of playoff humiliations, and Deshaun Watson not having lost a game by more than one score since high school.

Ass Team Of The Week: The Lions Finally Crapped Their Season Into The Toilet
The Detroit Lions lost 14-13 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, a result that guaranteed both a losing season and official elimination from the playoffs.

Ass Team Of The Week: Washington Sucked Down A Doo-Doo Milkshake On Purpose
