The bad news for your Houston Texans at this point is that they’re mathematically eliminated from the top seed of the AFC playoffs. Class, let’s all thank the Denver Broncos for being useless against the Jaguars last Sunday and then winning on Christmas to make this a reality. The good news is the Texans are […]

While the Christmas Day triple-header was a debacle, Saturday’s games will have a bigger impact on the postseason, potentially making them a better product for NFL fans to consume.

The entire fate of the Indianapolis Colts could be decided around 7:30 EST on Saturday in a game they don’t even play. The Colts lost their say in what happens to them a few weeks back when their slide became overwhelmingly long. Now, their season hangs in the balance, and the Houston Texans have a […]

The answer to that question really starts on Saturday night as the Texans have a chance to make the Sunday game against the Jaguars, only important to the Jaguars. Should the Texans lose, only being inferior to the Jags should be the reason for a Colts loss. The Colts would again hold their destiny in […]
The Houston Texans are riding a seven-game winning streak and will look to keep it alive on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. These two teams met in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last season, a game Houston controlled from start to finish in a 32–12 win. The Texans’ elite defense led […]
Another week, another UGLY win. This time, Houston inched their way past the Las Vegas Raiders in one of the more mediocre performances in the DeMeco Ryans era. The offense looked stumped and the defensive line finally showed cracks. Whether the Texans are playing like a “playoff team” or not, they’re at the precipice of […]
The Chargers have waited almost an entire calendar year to get a shot at revenge against the Texans. Back in January, Houston’s defense picked off Justin Herbert four times en route to bouncing the Bolts from the postseason in a game many in The Bolt wish they could completely forget. The thing is, whatever motivation […]
Final Update: The Chargers will be without yet another offensive tackle this week as recent starter at left tackle Jamaree Salyer has been ruled out against the Texans this week. Returner Derius Davis, safety RJ Mickens, and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste were all ruled out for Saturday, as well. Offensive guard Mekhi Becton, defensive tackle Teair […]
