Episode Details

This game has DOGFIGHT written all over it. Cold weather. Physical football. No shortcuts. And here’s the truth — the Houston Texans are BUILT for this.

Don’t get it twisted.
The Steelers can’t punk this team.
The cold won’t scare Houston.
They’ve thrived in physical, grind-it-out games all season long — and this matchup is no different.

🚨 Big Injury Report Updates:

Kamari Lassiter WILL play

Trent Brown is back, meaning Houston finally gets its best offensive line combination healthy

That matters BIG against a brutal Steelers defensive line

🏃‍♂️ Backfield Questions:
With Jawhar Jordan out, does that mean more Nick Chubb?
Or is this the moment British Brooks earns more carries in a game that demands toughness?

🔥 NFL Coaching Drama:
With shocking moves around the league — including Mike McDaniels being fired in Miami — what does this mean for the Texans’ future?
Should Houston consider McDaniels and move on from Caley after the season?

I say NO.
Guest Stan Norfleet says YES.
And things get FUN.

This episode is physical football, roster clarity, and real Texans debate all wrapped into one.
New fans welcome. Day-ones, you already know.
