The Houston Texans are 0-4 after falling to the Dallas Cowboys in a game they desperately needed to win.

Tonight, I’m breaking down another frustrating loss, but this one wasn’t just about the offense. The defense failed to close the game when given the opportunity, special teams had costly issues, and the Texans once again came up short in critical moments.

We’ll talk C.J. Stroud, Nick Caley, DeMeco Ryans, the defensive breakdowns, special teams, coaching decisions, the lack of urgency surrounding this team and where Houston goes from here at 0-4.

RJ Ochoa of Blogging The Boys joins me to preview Texans vs. Cowboys in Houston on Sunday.

We’ll get the Cowboys perspective on Dallas’ season so far, Dak Prescott and the offense, the Joey Porter Jr. addition, a banged-up Dallas defense, and the biggest matchups to watch against C.J. Stroud and the Texans.

Plus, what does each team need to do to come away with a win in the Battle for Texas?

The Texans are 0-3 after another brutal loss, this time falling to the Colts in Indianapolis despite finishing +3 in turnover differential.

Tonight we’re taking a deeper look at the game after having another day to digest it. We’ll dive into the stats, Nick Caley’s play calling, the continued offensive line issues, the lack of separation at receiver, C.J. Stroud’s performance and why this offense continues to struggle regardless of personnel.

We’ll also get into the defense forcing three turnovers but allowing some costly plays, DeMeco Ryans’ questionable decisions and clock management, and his Monday press conference as we try to figure out what actually needs to change moving forward.

The Texans fall to 0-3 after another frustrating loss, this time to the Colts in Indianapolis.

The offense was putrid again, with the offensive line, play calling and lack of separation from the receivers all contributing to another rough performance. Meanwhile, the defense wasn’t perfect and gave up some costly plays, but still forced three turnovers and gave the offense plenty of opportunities.

We’ll break down what went wrong offensively, the continued issues with Nick Caley’s offense, the offensive line struggles, the receivers, C.J. Stroud’s performance, and more questionable decision making and clock management from DeMeco Ryans.

At 0-3, something has to change.

The Texans and Colts both enter Week 3 at 0-2, making this an incredibly important AFC South matchup early in the season.

We’re previewing Colts vs. Texans, breaking down the biggest matchups, what Houston needs to fix after the first two weeks, keys to getting the offense going, what to expect from the Texans defense, and why this game already carries so much weight in the division.

Plus, we’ll take your questions and talk Texans throughout the show.

The Texans fall to 0-2 after a frustrating loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that felt very winnable.

Going live to break down everything from the loss, including C.J. Stroud’s performance, Cincinnati’s defensive line dominating up front, the Texans’ nonexistent run game, questionable playcalling from Nick Caley, special teams issues and an offense that struggled to consistently help its defense.

Defensively, I thought Houston played well enough to win despite allowing a couple of costly explosives. The defense was repeatedly put in difficult situations with Cincinnati starting drives with favorable field position.

We’ll go through the film, stats, biggest takeaways and what this 0-2 start means with another divisional matchup coming next week.

Live Q&A throughout. Come Second Guess with Stressan.
