3 Texans Players Who Need Bigger Roles After the Bye Week

The Houston Texans are heading into their Week 8 bye at a gloomy 2-5 record. For the Texans to get back on track for the second half of the season, some changes around the roster will have to be made-- even if that doesn't include making a big swing on the trade market ahead of the deadline. Some of those changes could be as simple as handing a few players around the roster more playing time than they've been accustomed to through the past several weeks. This Texans roster already has several talented players on both sides of the ball to bank on even if they're three games under .500, so maybe flipping the switch for a few wins could be as simple as distributing more opportunities to a select few players in need of increased snaps. With that in mind, let's take a look at three players around the Texans' roster who feel due to be more involved coming out of this week's bye: Oct 25, 2026…

Tesla’s rocket-shaped Robotaxi map in Houston is partly ‘fake’

Tesla’s new rocket-shaped Robotaxi service area in Houston includes parts of downtown where the service won’t actually pick you up, according to Ethan McKanna, the creator of Robotaxi Tracker and former Tesla employee. McKanna rode the service after Monday’s expansion and called Houston “by far the most egregious ‘fake’ AV service area” he has seen. One trip quote had him spending about 40 minutes in a Robotaxi to go two blocks. On Monday, Tesla expanded its Houston Robotaxi geofence into the shape of a rocket. It took the small launch zone in northwest Harris County and stretched it into a long corridor down to downtown and Bellaire, announced with “Houston, we have liftoff.” McKanna runs Robotaxi Tracker, the crowdsourced site that tracks Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet and service areas, and he worked at Tesla this summer, so he knows the program better than most. He went to Houston to try it…

Dallas’ historic Lakewood Theater to get new tenant

Dallas' nearly 90-year-old Lakewood Theater will soon have a Rusty Taco in its lobby. Executives from the Dallas-born Tex-Mex chain confirmed Rusty Taco will start construction soon, replacing Double Dave's, the pizza shop that served food inside Lakewood Theater for the past few years. Jazz bar The Balcony Club will remain open and unchanged on Lakewood Theater's second floor, and eventually, customers can order Rusty Taco from up there. Since 1938, Lakewood Theater has been a movie house, a live music venue and a burlesque stage. In 2019, it was transformed into Bowlski's, a bowling alley from Lakewood residents Craig and Jennifer Spivey. They're also vendors at the State Fair of Texas. Denise Fenton, whose husband, Rusty, founded Rusty Taco on Greenville Avenue in 2010, believes her family's taco shop will be a good fit inside the longtime Lakewood Theater. "If you visit any website…

The Next Two Weeks Will Define Houston's Football Season

The No. 18 Houston Cougars now face some major questions. The Cougars were unable to hang on to a 10-0 lead against the No. 6 Utah Utes, are currently 6-2, and have taken a tumble in the rankings. That was the second time this season that Houston blew a lead of such proportion. And that's also why these next two weeks will define how this 2026 season will go. The Cougars took a 10-0 lead over the then No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders before losing 28-26. It was a disappointing way to lose their first game, as they had dominated the first quarter. Houston took a 3-0 lead into halftime against Utah and even added a touchdown to begin the third quarter to take a 10-0 lead. The Utes rallied and went on to outscore the Cougars 21-3 for the rest of the game. After an ugly fourth quarter for the Cougar offense, Houston was handed another disappointing loss. Utah QB Devon Dampier scrambles against…
