The Texans are waving a white flag and resting several key starters for the second half, among them CJ Stroud, Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter, Azeez Al-Shaair, and Derek Stingley Jr.

The only clinches left are the AFC North winner (Steelers/Ravens), the NFC South winner (Panthers/Buccaneers), and the 7th wild card spots for both conferences (Texans/Colts in the AFC, Packers/Lions in the NFC).

The 2025 Astros were swept by the Athletics, the fifth time in franchise history that's happened since joining the AL West. They join the 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022 Astros in that distinction.

Since pitch tracking began in 2008, Jose Altuve is the first player ever to swing at a waste pitch on an 0-2 count and reach base safely on said pitch twice in one game.

Through his first 12 games of 2025, Jose Altuve has -5 DRS and +2 OAA. Both Fangraphs (using UZR and wRC) and Baseball Reference (using DRS and Rbat) agree he's produced 4 runs of offense so far, but due to the wildly different defensive values, he has 0.7 fWAR and 0.1 bWAR so far.

Nick Sirianni has a career winning percentage of .706 (higher than Don Shula or George Halas), two Super Bowl appearances in his first four years, and his Eagles just scored the most points in a playoff game since the 1999-2000 season. His job is safe for a long long time.
