02/07/2012	8	10
If Matt Schaub comes back healthy, this could be the team to beat in the AFC next season. They have a tough decision on Mario Williams in free agency.
01/03/2012	10	9
They limp into the playoffs with three consecutive losses and uncertainty at the quarterback position. That's some way to celebrate your first division title.
12/27/2011	9	6
They will stick with T.J. Yates at quarterback, but now it's time to give him more to do down the field. Limiting him isn't the answer.
12/20/2011	6	3
We expected T.J. Yates to cool down some, but the surprise in the loss to the Panthers was how bad the defense played. That was a damning blow to getting a first-round bye.
12/13/2011	3	4
T.J. Yates is showing that you can't count these guys out. He showed some big-time skills on that final drive to the winning touchdown.
12/06/2011	4	4
T.J. Yates showed well in his first start, giving the Texans some hope they might be able to do something come playoff time.
11/29/2011	4	3
Don't you get the impression that things might never work out for them? What do they do at quarterback? Is it rookie T.J. Yates?
11/22/2011	3	3
It's Leinart's show the rest of the way. Can he do the job? The division is theirs, so it's time to get him ready for the playoffs.
11/15/2011	3	7
They are losing Matt Schaub for a long time -- and probably the season. Is that the death blow to their playoff dreams again?
11/08/2011	7	9
They seem to be gaining steam. That running game is tough to stop and the defense is really improved. The AFC South looks to be theirs.
