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.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans joins The DeMeco Ryans Show presented by Amegy Bank after a complete, all-three-phases win over the Chargers in Los Angeles. Ryans explains how QB C.J. Stroud's film study and summer workouts with his receivers are paying off, now that WR Tank Dell, WR Kayshon Boutte, WR Nico Collins, WR Xavier Hutchinson and TE Dalton Schultz can each win one-on-ones. He relives the sideline eruption after Dell's 63-yard touchdown in his second game back. He also breaks down S Jalen Pitre's third-down hit and an eight-sack day led by DE Will Anderson Jr., DT Sheldon Rankins and DE Jadeveon Clowney, and explains why Hutchinson is the team's ultimate glue guy.

Also in this episode: Ryans' postgame locker room speech, Stroud on the postgame show with Sean Pendergast and Clint Stoerner, Boutte with John Harris after his 125-yard, two-touchdown day, and Ryans' first look at a young Browns team ahead of Sunday's noon kickoff in Cleveland.

The Texans come out of the bye and head to Los Angeles, and Thursday's Texans All-Access sets up a Sunday that could start a run. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris welcome Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain, who explains why he likes Houston against a Chargers team still searching for its first win. He also names the one problem area he sees year after year, and says what he'd like OC Nick Caley to lean on with QB C.J. Stroud.

The General also covers the Nov. 10 trade deadline, his NFL power pick, and K Ka'imi Fairbairn being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October. In the questions-and-answers segment, Harris explains how new RB Emari Demercado could fit in, why WR Tank Dell looks like his old self, and how the hosts rank the five coaches up for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2027. That includes a Texans connection to Dan Reeves. The show closes with a Houston Methodist Minute on the mental side of returning from injury with Dr. Larry Balle, plus a preview of Friday's show with HC DeMeco Ryans and LB coach Bill Davis.
