Houston Texans

The New England Patriots advanced to the AFC Championship Game by defeating the Houston Texans 28-16, overcoming a turnover-heavy game behind a dominant defense and key fourth-quarter scoring.

ESPN reported Sunday morning that al-Shaair was fined $11,593 for wearing a "personal message," which violated the league's uniform and equipment rules.

The Houston Texans travel to Foxborough this Sunday to face the New England Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round. Coming off a historic defensive win over the Steelers, Houston is one victory away from its first-ever AFC Championship appearance. Despite the loss of top receiver Nico Collins, the Texans look to keep their improbable "worst-to-first" season alive.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith immediately apologized on-air after accidentally confusing Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk with late conservative activist Charlie Kirk during analysis of the Texans' playoff victory.

Sheldon Rankins returned a fumble by Aaron Rodgers 33 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to highlight a dominant performance by the NFL's top-ranked defense, and the Houston Texans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 on Monday night for the first road playoff win in franchise history.

The Houston Texans are heading to the playoffs for the third year in a row after Saturday night's 20-16 win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Four members of the Houston Texans have been selected for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, led by defensive standouts Will Anderson Jr., Derek Stingley Jr., and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, alongside star wide receiver Nico Collins.

The Houston Texans turned their season around with a big 20-10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, improving their chances of making the playoffs. Their strong defense shut down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while C.J. Stroud and the offense made important plays to clinch the victory. With four games left against teams with different records, the Texans have a good shot at securing a playoff spot and possibly winning their division.
