here are my picks for the season

Drew Brees played the entire first half, leading the New Orleans Saints to two touchdown drives in route to a 34-27 preseason victory over the Houston Texans. Brees looked...

In a preseason contest that lasted nearly 3 and a half hours, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the New Orleans Saints 27-24. Unqualified replacement refs took center stage Friday night, showing why they are indeed "replacements." Game-altering errors, misplacements of the ball, a bevy of unnecessary reviews, and...

Thursday, Dec. 22 Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts – 8:20 PM Houston (10-4) had its seven-game win streak snapped by lowly Carolina last Sunday. Having already clinched the AFC South and a playoff spot, the Texans look to stay in the race for a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage by turning the NFL’s second best rushing attack loose on the Colts, who give up an average of 138.7 ru

Shortly before halftime of the Carolina Panthers victory over the Houston Texans, the Panthers made the Texans look like a bunch of sandlot players by scoring a touchdown off of a trick play involving a funky formation and a hidden ball -style handoff. After the game, Panthers’ offense coordinator Rob Chudzinski admitted he got the inspiration for the tomfoolery from an unlikely source — the 1994

Former UL quarterback great Jake Delhomme has agreed to a two-year contract with the Houston Texans. The Texans were looking for help at the quarterback position after losing both starting quarterback Matt Schaub, and back-up Matt Leinart, to injuries. The 36-year-old Delhomme, who is a native of Breaux Bridge, and a graduate of Teurlings Catholic, has played for the New Orleans Saints, Carolina P

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Charles Brown was thrown into game action in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans when starting right tackle Zach Strief left with an injury. Up to that point, the 2nd year pro had never played more than bunch formation and special team packages. Brown was impressive in his first extended playing time. "Charlie Brown did a fantastic job for us today," remarked Drew Brees after the win. Now Brown must prepare for his first NFL start this Sunday in Jacksonville. Is he ready?

Despite giving up 40 points, 454 yards, and 3 straight touchdown scoring drives in the 4th quarter, the Houston Texans defense refused to acknowledge the dominant nature of the New Orleans Saints offense. Texans safety Glover Quin quipped, "We just didn't make plays that we needed to make. It wasn't like they're something special." Other members of the Texans secondary agreed. If the Saints offense is "nothing special," wouldn't that make the performance of Houston's secondary even more dire than what they showed on Sunday?

The New Orleans Saints scored 23 fourth quarter points, en route to a 40-33 win over the Houston Texans, on Sunday, at the Louisiana Superdome. Quarterback Drew Brees led the way for the Saints. Brees completed 22 of 39 passes, for 370 yards, and three touchdowns. With the win, the Saints improve to 2-1, while the Texans drop to 2-1.

Two of the best offenses in the NFL will be on the same field on Sunday, when the New Orleans Saints play host to the Houston Texans, at the Louisiana Superdome. Which one is better, though?

Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano spoke glowingly about his new RB Reggie Bush throughout training camp. Sparano said Bush would get his chance to be an every-down back and would get 20 or more touches a game. Maybe he was lying to Bush or just himself. Bush touched the ball 6 times for 21 yards on Sunday in a loss to the Houston Texans. Rookie RB Daniel Thomas carried the rock 18 times for 107 yards.

There are unbeaten NFL teams remaining, including the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers. There also remains six winless teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who will have to do without running back back Jamaal Charles, their best offensive player.

If you've got Arian Foster on your fantasy team, you'll want to know this. Foster, who missed the season opener for the Houston Texans last Sunday, should be good to go this week for their game against the Miami Dolphins. Foster missed week one with a hamstring injury, but Coach Gary Kubiak said barring a setback, Foster will play on Sunday...
