This post should come with a content warning for football fans in Houston.
Somebody asked me regarding the Vikings, what is the biggest-ever drop in wins year-to-year (not including strike seasons).
The answer is 10, the Vikings would have to lose out to tie it.
Texans 2012-2013
Oilers 1993-1994
Both 12-4 to 2-14.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

There are many candidates, but I still think my favorite line is “There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want”
The adventures of a precocious 6-year-old and his stuffed tiger debuted on November 18, 1985. NPR's Renee Montagne spoke with the comic strip's editor, Lee Salem, in 2005.

former Penn State safety Jaylen Reed, who had played only one defensive snap in five games entering tonight, had a game-high 11 tackles & a fumble recovery for the Texans in their win over the Bills tonight.

One day I will wake up on a Texans Primetime Gameday without dreading the outcome.
Today is not that day.
Defense put Allen in a blender last year, gonna have to do the same tonight.

I spent some time this summer with Derek Stingley Jr., who had absolutely no interest in talking about the best plays of his career…but had plenty to say about the almost-mades that haunt him.

Meet the REAL Derek Stingley Jr., the Texans' QB-baiting shutdown corner
Stingley has 14 interceptions since 2022, but he doesn't want to talk about them. He is much more interested in the plays he almost made.

Ouch - Stroud AND Pitre still out. I suspect Pitre absence is nearly as consequential as CJ vs Buffalo.
Bills offense is a much bigger challenge than Jags/Titans. #Texans

Texans defense and the AFCS have dragged them back to 0.500.
Now have to pickup some wins against playoff teams.

Seriously? What do the Texans see on tape from these condensed formations at the goal line? Does this sh!t work in practice?!?

How did Texans not land on that loose ball?!? 2nd turnover opportunity missed today. Everybody better figure out how to wake up at halftime.
