Good job, Texans. Nice playing by TJ - good enough for a W....

Thanks again, Arky.

Damn Falcons.

Nice ugly win. In T.J. we trust.

Even though our end zone was finally dented, you have to be excited with how the defense has come together. Again, no Kareem Jackson to draw holding flags.

Hop is Da Bomb

Damn Colts.

------------------------------------------

Texans won the turnover margin today 2-1, pretty sure that puts them back at 0 give/take for the year after being pretty bad (-8?, -10?) earlier in the year.

------------------------------------------

Hop hit the 1000 yd receiving mark today. Has 1045 total yards, now. He trails Julio (1189) and Antonio Brown (1141) of Pittsburgh for the league lead in that department... He was tied with Cincinnati TE Tyler Eifert for the league lead in receiving TDs (9) but as I'm typing, Eifert just went ahead.....
