It's Trade Tuesday on Texans All-Access, and Marc Vandermeer and John Harris break down everything that went down at the NFL trade deadline. They start with Houston's own moves ahead of the deadline, including WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and WR Kayshon Boutte, then look around the AFC South. The Jaguars pushed their chips in with three defensive acquisitions, including DT Jordan Davis. The Colts kept RB Jonathan Taylor after pulling off a series of sales. Elsewhere, Marc and Johnny react to the Vikings bringing back QB Kirk Cousins and to Jordan Schultz's report that Minnesota also checked in on Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones and Geno Smith.

In the second segment, T Aireontae Ersery sits down with Texans legend Johnathan Joseph on the No Audibles podcast. Ersery talks about switching from basketball to football, the spark from his O-line coach at Minnesota, the mother who drives him and the pride he takes in protecting QB C.J. Stroud. To close the show, Marc looks back at the Texans' history in Cleveland, and HC DeMeco Ryans explains why Houston is taking it one week at a time ahead of Sunday's road trip to face the Browns.

The Texans rolled through Los Angeles, and John Harris has more great plays than one countdown can hold. On this edition of Texans Matchup, Harris runs two Ultimate 11 lists from the win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium before the Texans head to Cleveland.

The offensive countdown belongs to QB C.J. Stroud and five touchdown passes. WR Xavier Hutchinson opened the scoring with a 17-yard strike and added a one-handed third-down grab. WR Kayshon Boutte scored his first two touchdowns as a Texan, the first on a two-minute drive to close the half, and TE Dalton Schultz kept drives alive all afternoon. Harris argues WR Nico Collins made the greatest catch in Texans history with a one-handed touchdown at the pylon. The top spot goes to WR Tank Dell's 63-yard touchdown on an out-and-up, his first score since December 2024, on a day he topped 100 receiving yards.

On defense, the Texans sacked Justin Herbert eight times to tie a team record. DE Will Anderson Jr., DE Jadeveon Clowney and DT Sheldon Rankins had two sacks each, and DT Logan Hall and DT Naquan Jones also made the list. CB Derek Stingley Jr. picked off his first pass of the year, the 16th of his career, and LB Henry To'oTo'o forced a fumble that S Calen Bullock recovered. K Ka'imi Fairbairn added a 56-yard field goal, his 58th career make from 50 yards or longer. No. 1 is S Jalen Pitre's open-field hit on Tre' Harris, the play Harris believes signaled the return of this defense.

Harris closes with the last Texans-Browns meeting, the 2023 Wild Card game, when a rookie Stroud threw three first-half touchdowns and Steven Nelson and Christian Harris each returned interceptions for scores.

Tank Dell Is Back and Nico Collins Did What? John Harris' Ultimate 11 From the Texans' Win in L.A. | Texans Matchup

John Harris hosts a Victory Monday edition of Texans All-Access, starting with Andre Ware. With Marc Vandermeer and Harris, Ware explains why a receiver room where any one of five pass catchers can lead the team puts defenses in an impossible spot and makes life easier for QB C.J. Stroud. He also breaks down what a full 60-minute defensive effort looked like and gives his read on Justin Herbert's struggles. That conversation includes CB Derek Stingley Jr.'s story about reading Mike McDaniel's tendencies. Ware also gets emotional about fellow Cougar WR Tank Dell's 63-yard touchdown and previews a chilly trip to Cleveland.

N.D. Kalu follows, fresh off being named a 2026 Gridiron Legend by the Kinder's Texas Bowl. He makes the case for DT Sheldon Rankins as one of the NFL's most underrated players and tells what it's like for a veteran pass rusher to face a rookie, including his own battle with Joe Thomas. He also explains why Stroud's ball placement had him rewinding plays. Kalu shares the Terrell Owens comeback story that Tank Dell reminds him of, and says why a possible Stroud vs. Deshaun Watson matchup is a storyline worth leaning into.

Harris closes by going around the league with Jacksonville's three Monday trades for S Jessie Bates III, DT Davon Godchaux and DT Jordan Davis, ahead of the Jaguars' Dec. 20 visit to Reliant Stadium.
