    Is Will Anderson the Houston Texans’ Version of Yordan Alvarez? - Houston Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With the Houston Texans at 0-3 and the Houston Astros coming off one of their worst regular seasons, despite winning their division, in the last decade, we’re pretty lucky sports fans here, compared to other American cities. Not only are all three major teams a relative fixture in their respective sports’ postseasons over the last few years, but we have star power galore. Rockets forward Kevin Durant is probably the biggest global icon among current Houston athletes, a designation whose measured

    DeMeco Ryans Climbs the Odds for First NFL Head Coach Fired - Houston Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When the 2026 NFL schedule was released back in May, the first month of the Houston Texans’ slate of games looked like a real challenge, but a challenge that the Texans, especially with their elite level defense, could embrace and possibly even thrive. Home games against three list quarterbacks with a trip to Indy embedded in between looked like a chance to make a statement. Hell, I even said it would be “fun.” As it turns out, there’s been nothing fun about the first three weeks, if you’re a Ho

    Sunday’s Loss to Colts Was Ryans’ Low Moment as Head Coach - Houston Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ll preface everything I’m about to type over these next several hundred words by acknowledging DeMeco Ryans’ place in this city’s tapestry and his employer’s lore. Ryans was a Defensive Rookie of the Year and a multi-season captain at a time when the Texans finally rose to playoff stature. Ryans happily took the head coaching job here in 2023, when the Texans were a laughingstock best known for firing two one-and-done head coaches the previous two seasons. African-American coaches, no less. On

    NFL Week 3 Recap: Indianapolis Colts 19, Houston Texans 17 - Houston Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As I’m sure many of you know by now, the Houston Texans went up to Indianapolis and laid another atrocious egg on offense and special teams on Sunday, and were stewarded by a head coach who’s started to make a terrifying, infuriating habit out of making game management decisions that negatively affect his team’s ability to win games. The Texans lost 19-17, on a field goal with 16 seconds left in the game, in a game where they won the turnover battle by a +3 margin. Teams that win the turnover ba

    NFL Week 3 Preview: Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts - Houston Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When it comes to winless teams, early in an NFL season, the Houston Texans have carved out a reputation as a team that is pretty savvy at bouncing back from slow starts. In 2018, Bill O’Brien became the then-only team to come back and make the playoffs after an 0-3 start. DeMeco Ryans matched that feat last season, and that was after overcoming an 0-2 start to 2023, and winning the AFC South. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d like for my hometown team to be the team that has a reputation for knowing
