In the early days of the Houston Texans, the Football Outsiders website and the Football Outsiders Almanac were some of the only resources that covered the team in depth and in the context of all 32 teams. Though more resources exist now, the Football Outsiders Almanac (on sale now along with fantasy football resources) remains as a great resource to check what you see on the field against what some of the data is showing.

Stephanie Stradley’s Texans-Colts Q&A with Kyle Rodriguez

This week’s preview is with a former Houston Texans et al quarterback, Sage Rosenfels (@SageRosenfels18). He was an NFL quarterback for 12 years, a writer for the The Athletic Minnesota, (@TheAthleticMIN) among other writing and radio things.

Here’s are conversation with the unusual questions: Q: What is different/sam…

A handful of new additions have generated excitement around the team this offseason.

A handful of practices will be open to the public.

The game theme is “Legends Homecoming” and will welcome many former players. The NFL term for all historical players is “Legends,” and over the years, t…

The Houston Texans may be experiencing the most remarkable year in their franchise, likely on the table as one of the best rookie head coach and rookie quarterback seasons in NFL history. This thought has danced around in my head since July. Never felt anything like this. This is why it is distressing to many to see empty seats or worse, huge contingencies of road fans at NRG Stadium. As longtime NFL writer John McClain wrote on X, “Texans fans should be ashamed selling so many tickets to Denver…

Wherever you are around the globe, if you are a Houston Texans fan, you should celebrate Texans excellence throughout 2024 in honor of Andre Johnson getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is the first inductee for the Texans, and Hall of Famer No. 375. As Janice McNair told Johnson when she heard the news from him, “We’re not just partying for one day, we’re going to party all year.” You don’t have to tell me twice. I have been to all sorts of Houston parties, and a party of Andre Johns…

What to expect for 2024 Texans? Great football, great challenges
