How Smart Coaches Are Overcoming The NFL's Offensive Issues

None of these root ca...

Here Are Jets And Patriots Fans Booing The National Anthem [Update]

Tom Brady Clowned By A Jadeveon Clowney Pick-Six

For most defensive linemen, an interception return is a recipe for some hilarious slapstick, but Jadeveon Clowney sprints right past all your #fatguyTD jokes. In the second quarter of the Texans game against the Patriots, a blind-side hit on Tom Brady turned into a gift for Clowney, who swiftly took...

Houston NBC Station Cuts Off End Of Texans Game To Report Result Of Texans Game

Fans in Houston watching last night’s Texans-Bengals game on KPRC missed its wacky final play—one punctuated by local hero J.J. Watt demolishing a poor offensive lineman—because the NBC station cut off the end of the broadcast in a rush to report the game’s not-yet-final score....

The Final Play Of Tonight's NFL Game, As Called By Wrestling Legend "J.R." Jim Ross

Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game between the Texans and Bengals was, with a few exceptions, your typical awful weeknight NFL action. The Aussie rules-style final play, and its equally down-under level game-ending tackle by J.J. Watt, though, deserved our closer attention....

Tom Savage Is Going Back To The Bench And His Agent Isn't Happy

Against truly stiff competition, Tom Savage took home our Bad QB Performance of the Week award for Week 1. It looks like he will not get to defend his title; it’s being reported, though not confirmed by the team, that Deshaun Watson will get the start for the Texans against Cincinnati tonight....

Why Your Team Sucks 2017: Houston Texans<em></em>

Duane Brown's Holdout Is A Test

Report: Michigan State Banned Texans' Keith Mumphery From Campus For Violating Sexual Misconduct Policy

Current Houston Texans and former Michigan State receiver Keith Mumphery is banned from his alma mater’s campus until 2019 as the result of a university investigation into a report of sexual assault, the Detroit Free Press reported today. The ban was a stipulation of Mumphery’s 2016 expulsion from M...

Brock Osweiler Says There's Proof That He Doesn't Suck

Maybe Brock Osweiler will be a better quarterback for the Browns. It’s possible that the Texans’ offensive scheme didn’t make the most of his abilities, which led him to throw 15 touchdowns against 16 picks and complete 59 percent of his 510 pass attempts. (This is admittedly an incredibly generous ...

God Help Them, The Cleveland Browns Are Trying To Outsmart The NFL

Texans Give Up On Brock Osweiler, Give Browns A Second-Round Pick To Take Him

Glorioski, we have a true Scheftbomb. The Texans are done with quarterback Brock Osweiler after one season, and are giving the Browns a 2018 second-round pick to take his contract off their hands. Holy shit....

No Move Makes More Sense Than Tony Romo To The Broncos

Tony Romo, despite missing all but four games to injury over the last two seasons, is probably the most in-demand quarterback on the market. The Broncos are probably the best overall team with a massive hole at quarterback, and the motivation to quickly plug in an effective veteran. So, Romo-to-Denv...

Wow, What A "Football Game"

Some selected snapshots from Saturday’s playoff game between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans:...

How Will You Spend Your Saturday Instead Of Watching Raiders-Texans?

The nice thing about the NFL is that it doesn’t worry about hurting feelings with its TV scheduling. It’ll flex terrible teams out of primetime and not even hide the reason why.
