No Comments »On Manning elsewhere in the division
January 30th, 2012 afcbeast Jerome Solomon of the Houston Chronicle recently wrote that if Peyton Manning is available, the Texans should be at the head of the line. Sorry, Matt Schaub.

January 22nd, 2012 afcbeast Today, we say goodbye to the Houston Texans, a team that ended up leaving the playoffs with a “we were just happy to be here” vibe, when, just weeks before, they had a “We’re going to the playoffs, and we won’t be just happy to be there” vibe. I don’t mean to belittle what the [...]

January 11th, 2012 afcbeast HOUSTON — T.J. Yates was just the guy that throws him the balls. This is the way Andre Johnson saw it two months ago. Well, Johnson knew who Yates was.

December 22nd, 2011 afcbeast The New York Jets have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the league this season. Many are already proclaiming this year a disappointment in the Big Apple.
