The Texans edged the Denver Broncos Sunday 19-17 to win their sixth-straight game. At 6-3, the Texans remain atop the AFC South.

Meanwhile, with Will Fuller’s recent season-ending injury, the Texans went out and acquired receiver Demaryius Thomas from Denver — just days before he had to return to Denver and face the Broncos as a Texan.

Plus, the Rockets ended their losing ways with a mini win streak of two games over the weekend as they await the return of James Harden to the lineup tomorrow against the Indiana Pacers.

We discuss those and other developments in Houston sports with Jeff Balke, who writes for Houston Press and Houstonia Magazine.
