In The Loop goes Around The NFL with the Texans' injuries continuing to pile up and more of the biggest stories from across the league.

Lopez discusses whether the Texans need a different approach on that side of the ball. The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

In The Loop looks ahead to what could be the biggest test yet of Nick Caley's “gameplan offense.” With the Texans sitting at 0-3 and the offense struggling to find answers, this feels like the moment where Caley has to show he's willing to adjust his approach.

Then the conversation shifts back to the Texans after DeMeco Ryans said the offense needs to execute better and maybe make some tweaks. But what do the numbers actually tell us about what's wrong with this offense?

In The Loop gets ready for the Astros' AL Wild Card Series and asks a pretty simple question: if this series comes down to managerial decisions, how do you feel about Houston's chances?

Houston enters the series against the White Sox planning a bullpen game in Game 1, making those decisions even more important.Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over with someone crashing into a store because they desperately needed to use the bathroom, a group of first graders grilling their teacher after she announces she's getting married, and more.

More importantly, are you invested in seeing how this thing ends? Then the attention shifts back to the Texans, where the walls may already be starting to close in on Nick Caley.

The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over with a trip down memory lane featuring some throwback crazy news stories from the past, a wild look at robots taking on humans MMA-style, and more.

In The Loop opens the show with a different conversation surrounding C.J. Stroud and asks whether he's suddenly becoming the most sympathetic figure in the Texans building, or if you're at least starting to better understand what he's dealing with offensively. Then the guys turn to the Astros, where there's no need to play the blame game after yesterday's loss, but it certainly made the road to winning the AL West tougher, before wrapping the hour with the Question of the Day: What's the biggest flex you have or ever had?

In The Loop opens the show with a different conversation surrounding C.J. Stroud.

In The Loop opens the show turning the attention to the Texans defense. There's been plenty of conjecture about what has affected a unit that entered the season with huge expectations, so what's really behind it?

Then the guys get into former NFL defensive lineman Chris Long's assessment of Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley, and Long was not impressed with what he saw from Houston's offense.

The guys hit that and more of the biggest stories from around the league before turning their attention to the Rockets and Kevin Durant. The Rockets want to reduce Durant's minutes this season, but KD doesn't necessarily agree with that approach. So who's right: the Rockets trying to preserve KD or Durant wanting to play as much as the game requires? The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from sports and entertainment.

In The Loop plays another round of Would Ya Rather? with some tough choices across Houston sports. Would you rather see Yordan Alvarez win the Triple Crown or the Astros make the playoffs?

Then it's time for ITL Lunch-Time Confessions, as the crew gets a few things off their chest, before Judge John Lopez puts on the robe and brings court back into session.

In The Loop turns its attention toward the Texans' upcoming matchup with the Indianapolis Colts and asks what Houston should fear the most. Jonathan Taylor has been a problem for the Texans in the past, so history might say he's the obvious answer. But is there something else about this Colts team that should concern Houston even more? The guys discuss the biggest threat facing the Texans as they try to get their first win of the season. Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over with the “Lego Bandit” leading police on a high-speed chase in Florida, DaBaby selling $45 waffles, and more wild stories.

The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What's an excuse that works every time? ITL then goes Around The NFL before turning to the Astros and asking whether one final players-only meeting can provide enough of a spark to save their season, followed by What's Popping in the world of sports.

The show wraps by asking what we can absolutely depend on from the Texans after two weeks, whether it's something on offense or defense.

The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What's an excuse that works every time?

In The Loop goes Around The NFL to hit the biggest stories and conversations from across the league following Week 2. Then the guys turn their attention to the Astros, who enter the final six games of the regular season at 77-79 and one game behind Texas in the AL West after being swept by Atlanta. Yordan Alvarez called a players-only meeting following Sunday's loss and told the team the focus now is simply finding a way to win the final six. But at this point in the season, is there any chance one final team meeting is enough to wake the Astros up and save their season? The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from the world of sports.

In The Loop looks at some of DeMeco Ryans' decisions against Cincinnati and asks whether the Texans head coach has already shown a lack of confidence in his offense. Houston went 0-for-4 on fourth down, and after an early fourth-down failure, the Texans ran the ball just five more times. With the expectations surrounding this team coming into the season, ITL asks whether anything short of a drastic move or change can restore confidence in an offense that hasn't delivered through two games. Then it's time for ITL Lunch-Time Confessions before the hour wraps with College Football on a Tuesday, hitting the biggest stories around the sport after Week 3.

In The Loop looks at what we've learned about the Texans through the first two weeks of the season and asks: What can you absolutely depend on with this team? Whether it's something on offense or defense, what already feels like an absolute about the 2026 Texans? Houston's defense has continued to give the team opportunities, while the offense is coming off a game in which it scored just six points, rushed for 60 yards and went 0-for-4 in the red zone. Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over with a bizarre Cornell story involving students processing a black bear in a dorm kitchen, a wild case involving 12 people accused of stealing more than $100,000 worth of chicken, and more. The Cornell incident actually involved two students who legally harvested the bear in 2025 and butchered it in a dorm kitchen, which led Cornell to explicitly ban processing wild game in community kitchens.

In The Loop opens Reaction Monday after the Texans fall 20-6 to the Cincinnati Bengals and drop to 0-2, with the guys debating which Nick deserves more blame for the offensive problems: GM Nick Caserio or OC Nick Caley?

In The Loop continues to process the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and their 0-2 start by asking a simple question: Do we still believe in this team?

In The Loop opens Reaction Monday after the Texans fall to the Cincinnati Bengals 20-6 and drop to 0-2 for the third time in four seasons under DeMeco Ryans. Houston moved the ball but couldn't finish, going 0-for-4 in the red zone and 0-for-4 on fourth down, while the running backs combined for only 18 yards. So when it comes to the offense, which Nick deserves more of the blame: GM Nick Caserio or OC Nick Caley? John Lopez believes the offensive problems ultimately fall on Caserio and the roster he constructed. The guys also ask whether this year's 0-2 start feels worse than the previous slow starts under DeMeco Ryans, despite Houston recovering to make the playoffs after both of those seasons. The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What's something you believe is going to be different but never is?
