Sucks, not just for Texans fans. Houston has been a hella fun offense to watch so far.

Although Tom Brady would likely get some votes, Peyton Manning is the major bane of the Texans' existence because of the AFC South thing.

Houston's defense has a new attitude. Some might call it confidence, but the Texans prefer to call it something else.

The Texans have bounced back from a 1-2 start to win four of five, including a three-game winning streak.

The defensive improvement is amazing considering the Texans still don't have a pass rush.

Smiley N. Pool / Chronicle The defense has been among the NFL's best the last five games.

Adam Schein hosts the Sirius Blitz on Sirius NFL Radio from 11-3 ET. He also co-hosts Loudmouths on Sports Net New York every weeknight at 6 ET.

The Texans improved to 5-3 for the first time in team history with their 31-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

If Texans running back Steve Slaton's latest turnover means he's fumbled away his starting job in Houston, Ryan Moats is certainly ready to step in.

The Houston Texans have never had a winning season in their eight-year existence.

Because today is Halloween, Texans coach Gary Kubiak watched a horror film. It was the Texans' 24-21 loss to Buffalo in 2006, Kubiak's first season as coach.

Key stat: The Texans held the 49ers to 1 yard of offense. Key player: Mario Williams set the early tone by dumping Shaun Hill for a 6-yard loss on the Niners' first play from scrimmage.

After playing a flawless first half and building a three-touchdown lead against the San Francisco 49ers , the Texans let their imperfections show, and it almost cost them a second consecutive victory.

Two good wins, tougher defense and the Houston Texans are 4-3. They are still looking uphill at the undefeated Colts in their division.

The Texans look to get their record above .500 in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers at Reliant Stadium.

The Texans moved to 4-3 for the second time in franchise history with a 24-21 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

The Niners were last seen getting blown out in Week 5, 45-10, by the Falcons and have now dropped two of their last three overall.

Among NFL tight ends, Houston's Owen Daniels, right, is tied for second with four touchdown receptions, including this one in the first quarter of Sunday's 28-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Remember the hair? Some folks, including possibly a few Texans, might have thought Brian Cushing was a tad too cool for his own good when he arrived in town with his flowing locks.

Antonio Smith recovers. 2nd-4, Cin 35, 5:50 in 4th Cushing forces Cincinnati's J.P. Foschi to fumble after a 6-yard pass from Palmer.
