| The Texans found a way to feel warm and celebrate the holidays with a win in Nashville over the Titans. After the start of the game was delayed an hour because of rolling blackouts in Tennessee thanks to the cold snap, Houston continued its trend of improved play in recent weeks. Jerome Solomon grades the game. This time, they didn't collapse in the fourth quarter. Davis Mills led the winning drive and passed to Brandin Cooks for the touchdown. How big a factor Saturday's win will be when it comes to offseason decisions on the quarterback, coach and offensive coordinator remains to be seen. But it felt good for a day. The defense, which had allowed the Cowboys and Chiefs to rally the last two weeks, did the job when it counted. It even slowed Derrick Henry for most of the game. In college football, UH didn't take too much time to celebrate its bowl in over Louisiana on Friday. Instead the Cougars are heading full speed ahead to the Big 12. But Dana Holgorsen emphasized that a lot of work remains. TCU has made it to the College Football Playoff and a lot of the Horned Frogs' success comes from linebacker Johnny Hodges. How he got to Fort Worth from Navy, is a story of persistence from his father in helping him transfer. Brent Zwerneman with the feel-good story. Speaking of fathers, Rockets' rookie Jabari Smith Jr. has a supportive voice in his father as he navigates his first season in the NBA. Brian T. Smith has the story. And we at the Chronicle would like to thank you for taking time to read our newsletter and hope you have a happy holiday season. Stat of the day: 151.4. Davis Mills' QB rating during the fourth quarter Saturday on 9-for-9 passing for 103 yards and a touchdown. |
