On Sunday, not only did the Colts lay bare the problems that plagued the Texans during their 0-3 start to the season, but they also drew a pretty perfect blueprint for other teams to beat the Texans in the future. And don’t think the rest of the league won’t be giving that blueprint a close examination.
On Sunday, the Texans did what good teams do — they took care of business from jump street to get the win.
Perhaps, we should look at ourselves and just let the icons of the past stay in the past, where their legends are immortal.
Obviously, the Texans will take wins any way they can get them, but one should keep in mind how they’re winning these games — especially if Houston is fortunate enough to make the postseason, where Lady Luck will only get you so far.
At best, this is nothing more than a symbolic punishment. At worst, it’s a slap in the face to any team Hightower “won” against while breaking the rules to gain a competitive advantage.
As beloved as Case Keenum was to local fans during his time in Houston, those same fans should be pleased that he’s no longer a Texan for two big reasons.
With nothing less than a 7-2 second half, the Dallas Cowboys can still win the NFC East.
Houston got treated to a nostalgia act that was uniquely its own Thursday night at NRG Stadium in the Texans 42-23 win over Miami, as Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler was largely ineffective with multiple over-thrown passes and a costly turnover.

When it comes down to it, the Boston Red Sox just had that magic in this year’s American League Championship Series that make great teams into champions, and the Houston Astros didn’t have that same spark that drove them to the 2017 World Series title.
Veteran umpire “Cowboy” Joe West lived up to his monicker in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday, ignoring Major League Baseball’s stated rule on spectator interference and making his own call to majorly impact the game, in which the Boston Red Sox defeated the Houston Astros, 8-6, at Minute Maid Park.
In last year’s World Series run, Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch brilliantly managed around a terrible Astros bullpen, and now that they actually have a good one this postseason, he seems like he doesn’t know what to do with it.
The Boston Red Sox clearly had an amped up sense of urgency in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, as they handed the Houston Astros a 7-5 defeat Sunday night at Fenway Park to tie the series, 1-1.
On Sunday, the Texans had to settle for excellent performances from only two of the three to carry them to a 20-13 win over the Buffalo Bills at NRG Stadium.

Most of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series proved to be as razor-close as one would expect between two such extremely talented, yet diametrically opposed, teams. That is, until it wasn’t.

Rumors of diminished power in the Houston Astros lineup may have been greatly exaggerated — at least in Game 1’s 7-2 win against the Cleveland Indians at Minute Maid Park on Friday.
The Houston Texans on Sunday kept hope of having a good season alive in a game where it looked like they were trying not to win at multiple times.
