The Houston Texans are in a tough spot heading into this matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars — but what reallyneeds to happen for them to have a chance? 🤔 Does Davis Mills need to play a perfect game, or is this the week Nick Caley must deliver a coaching masterclass to save Houston’s season?

That has to change — fast. Plus: 🚨 What a loss would mean for the Texans’ present and future 🧠 Why it might be time for more rookies, fewer vets 💥 Should the McNairs finally move on from Nick Caserio? 💬 And of course… a Texans fan therapy session.

The Houston Texans did nothing at the NFL Trade Deadline… but was that the right move? 👀 Should Houston have been buyers or sellers? Or did the McNairs quietly pump the brakes to protect assets for a new GM coming this offseason? 👇 With CJ Stroud in concussion protocol, the Texans are bracing for life without their star QB — which means it’s Davis Mills time in Houston! Can he make the most of a full week of prep and finally get Nico Collins back on track after an underwhelming year? Plus: our Texans vs. Jaguars preview! Can this defense win the game outright? Because if Houston wants a shot at an upset… they’ll have to! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The numbers don’t lie — and they tell the whole story of Sunday’s loss. The Houston Texans are officially dead last in red zone touchdowns from inside the 2-yard line. ZERO. Meanwhile, teams like the Saints, Raiders, Dolphins — even the Titans — are finding ways to score. So what’s the issue? Lack of snaps? Poor play calling? Bad red zone execution? We break it ALL down: 🏈 Jaylin Noel’s limited snaps (only 11!) despite back-to-back big games. 🏈 CJ Stroud’s sharp play before his injury — 5/6 vs the blitz, 70 yards, 4 first downs, +0.28 EPA per play. 🏈 And the BIG question: Should Nick Caley get another year as OC… or is it one and done? CJ Stroud is the franchise QB — but the franchise has to do right by him. Tune in, hit that 👍, and join the conversation in the comments! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Houston Texans’ playoff dreams might be slipping away after a brutal loss to the Denver Broncos. In this defeated Monday , we dive into: 🏈 CJ Stroud’s concussion — how his absence completely derailed the offense. 🚨 Red zone nightmares — 0-for-3, including two failed trips inside the 2-yard line. 🤦 Offensive collapse — Higgins and Noel COMBINED for one target?! 💪 Defensive heart — holding Denver 33 yards below their rushing average and limiting YAC. 🧠 Coaching concerns — did Nick Caley’s inexperience show in the second half? The Texans defense gave everything they had — but can Houston survive without its QB1? Are the playoff hopes officially gone, or is there still a flicker of life left?

This is it — make or break time for the Houston Texans. 👀 As they prepare to face the Denver Broncos, we take an inside look at the numbers that could define Sunday’s showdown. Denver ranks among the NFL’s best in YAC yards, while Houston’s defense has quietly been one of the top units at limiting yards after the catch — meaning the second and third levels of the defense have to play BIG. 💪 Plus, when Christian Kirk returns, should the Texans prioritize him over rookie Jaylin Noel? Both have flashed, but Noel has given this offense explosiveness and big-play energy downfield that’s hard to ignore. And finally — a temperature check on Texans fans 🔥: belief or doubt? Houston’s playoff hopes hang in the balance, and if they lose Sunday… they’ll only prove the doubters right. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The numbers might fool you — but the film doesn’t! Woody Marks has become a quiet X-factor in the Houston Texans offense. Despite an average depth of target at just 2 yards, Marks has turned 156 of his 165 receiving yards into YAC, ranking 16th in the league in that category — even though he’s only 30th in passing snaps! 👀 In this episode of Locked On Texans, John Hickman breaks down why Marks’ impact goes way beyond the box score and why Houston MUST keep him involved in the offensive game plan moving forward. Plus, special guest Stan Norfleet stops by to talk about: 🏈 The current state of the Houston Texans ⚙️ What’s working (and what’s not) on offense 🧩 Why the upcoming matchup vs. the Denver Broncos is a must-win if Houston wants to stay in the playoff race Tap in for Texans talk you won’t get anywhere else!

The Houston Texans have an offensive identity crisis, and whatever this offense thinks it is… it isn’t working consistently. On today’s Locked On Texans Podcast, we dive into the confusion surrounding the Texans’ offensive struggles and ask the big question: 👉 What IS the offensive identity of the Houston Texans? Hear from CJ Stroud himself, as he shares his thoughts on where this team is mentally and what has to change. After a confusing and frustrating week following the loss to Seattle, Houston suddenly faces a must-win game on Sunday vs the 49ers — a matchup that feels like looking in the mirror. If the Texans are going to turn this around, CJ needs to be elite and elevate everyone around him. We also break down the current state of the Texans franchise and why this offseason needs to start with tough—but actually not-so-tough—decisions, beginning with the front office and GM direction.

The Houston Texans are spiraling, and the fanbase is starting to feel it. 💥 With the offense collapsing, Nico Collins in concussion protocol, and DeMeco Ryans refusing to make changes at OC, are Texans fans beginning to lose faith in DeMeco AND CJ Stroud? Today on the Locked On Texans Podcast, we dive into the biggest questions shaking H-Town right now: 🔥 Is DeMeco Ryans’ stubbornness costing the Texans the season? – Ryans says he’s NOT changing Offensive Coordinators and insists the blame should be on him. Admirable? Or alarming? Could this backfire with the locker room and the fanbase? 🔥 Is CJ Stroud still the Franchise QB of the future? – Or… should Houston at least consider life after Stroud if these trends continue? Has the league figured him out, or is this slump on coaching and scheme? 🔥 Life without Nico Collins = BIG trouble – With Nico in concussion protocol, who is stepping up? Nobody has proven they’re even a true WR2… so how does Houston survive without its WR1? 🔥 Fan Reaction: Are Texans fans DONE with this offense? – We read your comments, your tweets, and your frustrations. The pulse of the fanbase is LOUD. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Peloton Let yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.

The Houston Texans offense was painful, confusing, and straight-up complacent — and the players are admitting it. After a brutal offensive performance, questionable coaching decisions, and Tytus Howard calling out the team’s mindset, it’s time to ask a real question: 👉 Are the Texans even CLOSE to competing with elite NFL teams? Right now — the answer looks like no. Tonight on Locked On Texans, we break down the 3 PHASES of FAILURE that cost Houston big: 🚨 PHASE 1 — Offensive Line Chaos Rotating Laken Tomlinson and Juice Scruggs at LG for no clear reason? 28 pressures. 3 sacks. 4 QB hits. No run game. No rhythm. No identity. That’s how you sabotage an offense. 🚨 PHASE 2 — CJ Stroud’s Worst Night 4 of 15 on throws 10+ yards Multiple hero-ball misses No situational awareness in key moments CJ is a star — but Monday was bad. Really bad. 🚨 PHASE 3 — Nick Caley’s Play-Calling From run-run-run predictability to ignoring Dalton Schultz to no QB sneaks on 3rd and 4th and short… This was Houston’s most head-scratching play-calling of the season. The defense gave you 4 turnovers and you walked away with 13 points. That’s not winning football. That’s wasted opportunities. 💬 THE WORD OF THE WEEK: COMPLACENCY Tytus Howard flat-out said it: “We were complacent. No energy. We let the defense down.” Why does this team always need to get punched in the mouth before waking up? ✅ FINAL TAKE Defense — you were elite. Offense — accountability time. Coaches — look in the mirror. TAP IN! COMMENT: Who deserves the most blame — CJ, Caley, O-Line, or the overall mindset? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Houston Texans just took a MAJOR hit — Christian Kirk is OUT, and now this offense enters Monday night with its most reliable slot weapon on the shelf. So the question is simple… 👉 Can the Texans survive without their true slot WR? In today’s episode of Locked On Texans, we break down exactly what Houston is missing without Kirk: 💥 A high-IQ receiver who understands the nuances and spacing of the offense 💥 The team’s third most dependable target behind Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz 💥 A true slot presence who opens up big-play opportunities and keeps coverages honest With Kirk leading the team in slot snaps (even after missing two games!), Houston now has a decision to make: Braxton Berrios in a full-time slot role? Dalton Schultz inside more? Or is this the week rookie Jaylin Noel finally gets his breakout moment? 👀 PLUS — don’t overlook special teams. Frank Ross has Houston winning the field-position battle all year long, and that could be a hidden weapon Monday night. We close with final predictions… and yes, I don’t think Houston will win — BUT what if they DO? This game could change everything Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
