In The Loop

The Texans are finally in the win column after defeating the Tennessee Titans! ITL reacts to Houston's first victory of the season, what stood out from the performance and whether this win is a sign of better things to come.

272 days in the making, the Texans are back in the win column! C.J. Stroud puts on a clinic, the defense holds Tennessee to just 3 points, and Will Anderson Jr. posts prime J.J. Watt-level numbers. We dive into the 26-3 victory, hear from linebacker Jake Hansen, break down DeMeco Ryans taking back defensive play-calling, and react to the official trade bringing former 4th overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston to join Stroud.

95.7 The Fan presents a collection of Houston Texans discussions from Payne & Pendergast, In The Loop, and The Drive with Stoerner and Hughley. The crews react to head coach DeMeco Ryans taking over defensive play-calling duties from Matt Burke. Plus, Week 5 Stock Up/Stock Down ratings for Will Anderson Jr. and Kamari Lassiter, Tank Dell's 21-day practice window, and C.J. Stroud's elite precision throwing.

In The Loop looks at last night's Cowboys performance and asks whether it revealed more about the Texans offense or the Texans defense after Houston's disappointing 0-4 start. The guys also remember Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka following news of his passing, reflecting on his legendary career and impact on the NFL, before getting to the Question of the Day: What's the most embarrassing thing your mom or dad ever did to you? ITL then goes Around The NFL with the biggest stories from across the league before getting into B-Scott's Texans Thoughts, where he explains why he can't stand people calling Houston “the best 0-4 team in NFL history.” That's followed by What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, ITL asks what the Texans need to be bullied into doing as the team continues searching for its first win. Are there changes this organization should have already made but hasn't? Then it's Lunch-Time Confessions and The OG's College Football Theme of the Week, as John Lopez shares what's caught his attention heading into the weekend. The show wraps with Texans Win Because, Texans Lose Because: Titans Edition, breaking down what needs to happen for Houston to finally get a win against Tennessee and what could lead to another disappointing loss. Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over with three wild stories of airport madness, including a man stealing an airport tug, a drunk passenger demanding more wine during a flight, and a woman looking to have some personal time mid-flight. Plus, Figgy's Voicemail returns as Texans fans sound off heading into the weekend.

In The Loop looks at last night's Cowboys performance and asks whether it told us more about the Texans offense or the Texans defense. Did watching Dallas reveal something about what went wrong when the two teams faced off? Then ITL remembers Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka following news of his passing, reflecting on his legendary career as a player and coach and the impact he made on the NFL. The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What's the most embarrassing thing your mom or dad ever did to you?

In The Loop goes Around The NFL with the biggest stories and conversations from across the league. Then it's time for B-Scott's Texans Thoughts, and he's not holding back when it comes to people calling Houston “the best 0-4 team in NFL history.” Why does that narrative bother him so much, and at what point do we stop looking for reasons to praise a team that hasn't won a game? The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

In The Loop asks a different kind of question about the struggling Texans: what does this team need to be bullied into doing? With Houston sitting at 0-4, are there changes the Texans should have already made but seemingly need outside pressure to finally address? What would it take to force this organization to do something differently? Then it's time for ITL Lunch-Time Confessions, as the guys get a few things off their chest. The hour wraps with The OG's College Football Theme of the Week, as John Lopez shares what's caught his attention heading into another weekend of college football.

Plus, Figgy’s Voicemail returns as Texans fans sound off heading into the weekend.
