Drive Killers Hurt Texans' Offense! It Wasn’t All on Stroud & Texans Are Built for the Playoff Fight
Let’s clear the air right now — the second-half struggles were NOT all on C.J. Stroud.
After the first two drives, everything changed. The Houston Texans offense got buried by drive-killing penalties, fumbles, and impossible down-and-distance situations. That forced the play calling to go conservative, stalled momentum, and made execution nearly impossible. This wasn’t just on Stroud or Jerrod Caley — this was about how the game was...
Houston’s offense started the fight… but the Texans defense finished it.
Eight straight wins.
A playoff spot clinched.
And the standard in Houston? Officially back.
Heading into this matchup, all eyes were on the offensive line. No Trent Brown. No Ersery. Questions everywhere. Instead? The Texans delivered one of their most impressive performances of the season. Blake Fisher and Jarrett Patterson stepped in and played clean football—no...

With major AFC playoff implications on the line, Houston faces one of its biggest tests of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
But here’s the challenge:
Trent Brown is out
Rookie Aireontae Ersery’s status is questionable
So how does Houston still create an edge?
It starts with the same formula that’s carried them all year: run the football, control the time of ...
This one has all the drama written on it.

Let’s be real — #StopBlameNickCaley.
Houston didn’t need a new play-caller against the Raiders… they needed CJ Stroud to be better, and this time, he came up short. But how did it happen? And more importantly — are these issues fixable as the Texans push forward?
We break down exactly where Stroud struggled, what went wrong in the execution, and why this isn’t about panic — it’s about growth.
🔥 Plus, an exclusive 1-on-1 interview wit...
Houston got the win… but not the way anyone drew it up.
The Texans escape with a hard-fought victory against a 2-win Raiders team, and while the scoreboard shows a “W,” the tape tells a much messier story. Las Vegas took away Houston’s run game, neutralized one of the Texans’ biggest weapons, and completely disrupted the play-action attack.
Let’s be clear — this is not about blaming Jordan. The offensive line actually did a solid job...

Texans Defense Reloaded? New DTs, SAME DOMINANCE + Howard Hungry For More? EXCLUSIVE Tytus Interview
New faces. Same expectations.
And the Houston Texans defense is still looking to dominate.
With injuries piling up along the defensive line, Houston had to reload fast—and now the spotlight is on Naquan Jones and Marlon Davidson. Can these two be the answers for an injury-riddled defensive tackle unit that still expects elite results?

Sunday afternoon isn’t a walk in the park for the Houston Texans — and the Las Vegas Raiders are bringing real problems to NRG Stadium.
The Raiders’ defense is far from soft. Their outside corners are quietly having strong seasons:
Eric Stokes is playing his best football since entering the league
Rookie Darien Porter has allowed just 200 receiving yards all season
And it gets tougher. Vegas stacks the box 61% of the time, and when the...
The Houston Texans are rolling… and the Las Vegas Raiders might be walking into a nightmare.
Even if you’re not a gambling person, Houston being a 14.5-point favorite is eye-opening — and maybe too tempting to ignore. In this Locked On Texans episode, we break down the biggest storylines heading into Texans vs Raiders, featuring insight from the Locked On Raiders crew.

It wasn’t pretty early… but Nick Caley has settled in — and the growth is impossible to ignore.
After a rocky start in his first season as Texans offensive coordinator, Caley has made real, in-season adjustments despite being dealt a brutal hand. No Joe Mixon. No Tank Dell. A wildly inconsistent year from Christian Kirk. And yet? The offense looks more organized, more intentional, and more prepared than it did in September.
So here’s...
The Houston Texans handled business at home and took care of the Arizona Cardinals — but don’t let the final score fool you. For DeMeco Ryans and this Texans defense, the standard was NOT upheld. And the film makes it clear why.
Missed tackles.
Bad technique.
Too many clean windows.
The Cardinals completed 11 passing plays of 10+ yards, and that’s a real issue for a defense built on discipline and violence at the point of attack. Coach...

Texans MUST DOMINATE the Cardinals! Can Houston FINALLY Build a Lead? | Caserio’s Future on the Line
The numbers don’t lie… the Arizona Cardinals might not win much, but they fight. Hard. This is a team that lives in one-score games, and if the Houston Texans want to avoid late-game chaos, they’ll need to take advantage of a weakened Cardinals defense early and often.
So what must Houston do?
👉 Attack a vulnerable defense
👉 Pressure the Cardinals’ pass-happy offense
👉 Win early downs and force uncomfortable throws
And let’s be hones...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
