H-Town!! Are YOU getting worried about the offense without Nico Collins on Sunday vs the Patriots..!? Texans not practicing Nico Collins, Justin Watson (concussions), Trent Brown (ankle) on Thursday in Houston; but IF these Texans run the football vs the Patriots remotely close to how well they ran it vs the Steelers..

The Drive fellas- Milner, Stoerner, & Hughley somehow end up in a PASSIONATE Cheese Cake conversation, yes CHEESE CAKE-amidst the Thirsty Thursday MADNESS in H-Town!

Do you believe the problems we saw from CJ Stroud Monday Night in Pittsburgh are a one off and easy to clean up..? Was Stroud 'RATTLED' in the Wild Card Matchup..?? -5 fumbles and 2 of those fumbles LOST; -1 INT -Missed open receivers throughout Wild Card game

-DeMeco Ryans LIVE on a Victory Tuesday with THE DRIVE! -How Would YOU Grade Stroud's QB-Play in Last Night's Texan WIN v Steelers?! -We're ALL Pulling for QB-1 in H-Town.. But Last Night?

The Texans defense last night in the Wild Card WIN over the Pittsburgh Steelers.. 153 yards allowed, 11 first downs, 2 takeaways, 2 TD, 4 sacks, 12 QB hits, 7 TFL's, 6 points allowed.. The scariest part of this defense is weaknesses appear to no longer be weaknesses for H-Town..

The fellas HEAR FROM THE DRIVE ‘FAMILY'! Are you in HOPE mode or EXPECT mode for these Houston Texans tonight in Pittsburgh!? The Texans are seeking to win it's first ever road playoff game, Are you hoping the Texans beat the Steelers Or-Are you expecting the Texans to beat the Steelers?!

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO CJ?! We just watched all these young QB's that 2 years ago you were thought to be better than ball the hell out.. Even the ones who lost. What does CJ need to accomplish? Are you in the “just win” camp or does he need to be the “why” the Texans win?
