Getty Images The Texans looked like they thought they were leading the Saints by more than the one-point they were on the final play from scrimmage. With six seconds remaining and the Saints on the Houston 49 — needing only a few more yards for a makeable field goal — the Texans called for...

Getty Images The Texans promoted quarterback Alex McGough from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Tuesday. That likely means Jacksonville tried to re-sign McGough before trading for Josh Dobbs, and Houston didn’t want to lose him. The Jaguars waived McGough on Aug. 30...

Getty Images In the most entertaining game of the NFL season thus far, Deshaun Watson and Drew Brees went back and forth, toe to toe down to the last second. Saints kicker Wil Lutz had the final say, nailing a 58-yarder with no time left for a dramatic 30-28 victory. Lutz missed a 56-yard...

Getty Images The Saints can’t catch a break from officials. They didn’t get the obvious pass interference penalty late in the NFL Championship Game in the Superdome, and eight months later, officials botched the play clock in the final seconds of the first half of their season opener in the...

Getty Images The Texans mortgaged the future to protect Deshaun Watson now. If Monday’s any indication, he might not be around when that loan matures. Despite the addition of left tackle Laremy Tunsil, Watson was again martyred for the cause, sacked six times in a dramatic loss to the Saints...

Getty Images At least this time they won. But the Saints were still concerned to say the least about the latest officiating mistake in their building, after last night’s clock-keeping screwup in their win over the Texans. Officials cost the Saints 15 seconds at the end of the first half, time...

Getty Images In late August, Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said he wasn’t hopeful that wide receiver Keke Coutee would play in the regular season opener because of an ankle injury. The outlook has brightened a bit since then. Coutee was limited in all three practices this week and drew a...

Getty Images The Texans kept Trevor Daniel over Bryan Anger in final cuts. That doesn’t mean Daniel is the team’s punter long term. Houston has worked out former Patriots punter Ryan Allen and former Vikings punter Matt Wile, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports. The Patriots decided on Aug. 19 to keep...

Laremy Tunsil had a goal in Miami. He has the same goal in Houston. The left tackle might find it easier to accomplish with the Texans, though, as Houston won the division last season. The Dolphins, who have made the postseason once in the past 10 years, appear to be rebuilding. “I had a goal...

Getty Images While Duane Brown didn’t have any part of negotiations trade terms between the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks, the veteran left tackle did play a part in selling Jadeveon Clowney on Seattle as a potential destination. Clowney credited Brown and his relationship with his...
