The Houston Texans have won two straight AFC South titles, which is impressive, but it pales in comparison to the level of dominance their Week 16 opponent Kansas City Chiefs have had over the past several years. Since 2018, the Chiefs have made it to the AFC Championship Game in every season, reaching four Super Bowls and winning three of them. That kind of success is something Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud hopes to replicate. “To see [Chiefs QB Patrick] Mahomes and [Chiefs Head Coach] Andy Reid do that and be the face of their franchise and I definitely – that’s…
The Houston Texans are sticking with their new-look offensive line for their Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week with Juice Scruggs out, the Texans moved Tytus Howard from right tackle to left guard, a position he hasn’t played since the 2021 season. Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik spoke about Howard’s transition and how it helped the team. “He was willing to do it. I can’t say enough how much credit I give Tytus for being willing to go to right tackle to left guard. Not only are you sliding in but you are switching sides, that…
The Houston Texans are in need of a wide receiver after Tank Dell dislocated his kneecap against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Texans have a few different options to replace Dell, including one that sees the team claiming wide receiver Diontae Johnson off of the waiver wire. Johnson, 28, has had a tumultuous 2024 season, but he is looking to join a contender this week. Johnson was traded in the offseason by the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Carolina Panthers. Things didn’t work out in Carolina, so he was dealt to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the trade deadline in November.…
Shay Given delivers Mac Allister joke Pictures via Match of the Day Liverpool ran out convincing victors over Tottenham and ensured that, even with a game in hand, we’d be sitting top of the tree this Christmas. That’s always a reason for some extra festive cheer and Shay Given got the memo with his punditry on Match of the Day 2 this weekend. Speaking about Alexis Mac Allister’s goal that made it 2-0 to the Reds, the former goalkeeper couldn’t wait to get a pun shared with the world. The 48-year-old said: “[Tottenham] miss out on the header, Mac Allister…
It’s perhaps not a surprise then that the errors of one key Liverpool player avoided microscopic assessment. Virgil van Dijk doesn’t commit too many mistakes, but at Spurs he was culpable for two of Tottenham’s goals. The second in particular – scored by Dejan Kulusevski – was uncharacteristically poor from the ex-Southampton man. He followed the run of Dominic Solanke towards the middle of the pitch, failed to win the ball and left a chasm in the heart of defence for the Tottenham attacker to turn and flick a pass into the path of onrushing Kulusevski. The Swedish international confidently…
A gutted Son Heung-min, the skipper of Tottenham, has confessed that the 6-3 thrashing by Liverpool was “very, very painful” following the Premier League frontrunners’ emphatic win at the Tottenham Stadium. Mohamed Salah led the charge with a brace, matched by Luis Diaz, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai also found the net. Despite efforts from James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke, Spurs were left to rue an ignominious defeat on their own turf. Confronting the media in a post-match Sky Sports interview, the captain didn’t mince his words, conceding that Spurs were outclassed by Arne Slot’s men.…
Amid a disquieting phase for Manchester City, with only one victory in their last 12 matches, culminating in a 2-1 setback against Aston Villa, fans and officials at the club have been told not to worry about Pep Guardiola’s commitment to the club. City now sits 12 points off league leaders Liverpool, with the Reds also holding a game in hand on their rivals. With little sign of their slump abating, Guardiola has come under more pressure than ever before during his time at the Etihad. Guardiola’s penchant for overcoming adversity, telling TNT Sports: “I don’t think Guardiola is anywhere…
Virgil van Dijk has heaped praise on in-form teammate Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian fired in another two goals for Liverpool this weekend against Tottenham. He is now up to 18 goals and 15 assists in 24 games in all competitions this season. “The numbers speak for themselves,” Van Dijk told reporters post-match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “He is very special. He has done amazingly for the club and hopefully he can play his best season ever — stay important with his goals and assists and be clinical. We need always a complete performance from him. All the defensive…
Things are going very well for Liverpool at the moment, but that doesn’t mean Michael Edwards and his recruitment team are not exploring ways to further bolster Arne Slot’s squad. Alongside the club’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, Edwards will be on a mission to bring in further reinforcements and one of the key areas where Liverpool will look to bring in more depth is probably the no.9 position. Diogo Jota has proven to be injury prone in his time at Anfield so far. Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez has struggled with inconsistency and hasn’t lived up to the hype that many hoped…
The former Premier League referee Keith Hackett believes the VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential penalty after Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to push over James Maddison during Liverpool’s 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Alexander-Arnold made contact with Maddison on the edge of the penalty area after extending his right arm into the opposition player’s back while facing the byline. That caused the Spurs player to fall over before the ball rolled out of play for a Liverpool goal kick. Gary Neville, co-commentating on the match for Sky Sports, believed the Reds vice-captain “took a little bit of…
