This seems wild.

ESPN’s telecast of Sunday’s Texans–Patriots matchup became the most-watched event in ESPN history, dating back to the network’s launch in 1979, with 38 million viewers. The game also ranks as Disney’s most-watched sporting event outside of the Super Bowl across nearly three… pic.twitter.com/KtOwBryjc9

Reminds me our ratings for the Miami game.

that many people watched the Texans-Patriots game?

and it was not that great of game -- no 4th quarter drama

Think of how many bandwagon fans the Patriots have who haven't paid attention since Brady went to Tampa.

Whole East Coast was probably watching to see them succeed or fail if you hate them.

Most of Texas watching since Cowboys aren't in the playoffs.

2023 kind of surprised me, but apparently CJ has been in the top 2 for worst off-target throw rate percentage of any QB all three years he's been in the NFL.

Trade him

I wish they had progression during the year, as Ersery improved from beginning to end. And to note while he didn't have the highest grade, he took the most snaps of any rookie this year. Not surprisingly Membou (1) and Banks (2) were the highest rated tackles. Booker was the best G. Looking at the grades, we didn't really miss out by trading down and getting Ersery, I think everyone selected around our original 1st round pick is the same grade as Ersery, with a lot less snaps.

McCarthy to Pittsburgh..... what a dumb hire

Is it really that bad compared to the others available at this point? I mean he did take the Cowboys to 3 12 win seasons and got canned after winning 7 games in a season where their QB was injured for half of it....all that with the worst GM/Front office in the NFL. He wouldn't be my first choice, but I don't think he's a bad hire.

Ask what they will give up for CJ

yep, the AFC was very winnable and/or very down this year

especially with the Chiefs and Ravens having subpar teams

Regardless of what Stidham does in the AFC title game today, let's take a moment to reflect on Stroud's stats from last week.

20/47 (43%) for 212 yards
1 TD
4 Interceptions, 1 returned for a TD
3 sacks
21.1 QBR

I'm trying to forget

Trade CJ for Stiddy. Straight up!

I hope this continues because that will make it look even more obvious that Stroud is not the answer just in case the Texans brass is having any doubts!

Man is CJ going to look even crappier if this guy goes off and wins the AFC title for Denver.

stidham just pulled a CJ. I take it back.

new England is ass..... I still ****in hate cj

Yes

Seahawks or the Rams are winning the Super Bowl.

so clearly short. **** new England

Yeah it sucks CJ really laid a big Stroud last weekend. Texans could be going to the Super Bowl.

Oh well, if there's one thing consistent about Houston - its that they find new and interesting ways to screw up any sort of success.

True, but he doesn't have to light the world on fire when it comes to this discussion

Watching Seattle and LA it's pretty clear we are not a football team like these two. Watching our offense it doesn't even feel like we're close, it feels like a huge gap. These are both real teams on both sides of the ball. I can really appreciate what they're both doing in comparison to what our team was this season, especially with the playoffs.

The creativity used by McVay with motion is so fun to watch. Stuff I thought Caley would have brought over with him, but he did not. The TD to Williams with all of the eye candy confusing the Seattle defense was great.
