Could the Texans play on Saturdays this fall?

The Houston Texans could play more Saturday games this fall if college football postpones its season and Saturdays in the fall are free for the NFL.

The Houston Texans could play part of their regular season slate on a handful of Saturdays in 2020.

According to a report from the New York Post via the Touchdown Wire, the NFL is exploring the possibility of playing games on Saturdays if college football decides to postpone its season due to complications from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though the NFL would like to keep the majority of its games played on Sundays, there is a possibility the league could take advantage of Saturdays and have tripleheader action, akin to what occurred in Week 16 when the Texans kicked off a three-game slate on NFL Network.

The NFL could go to more extremes if Saturday is freed up for its whole season. It could have a triple-header with games at 1 p.m., 4:30 and 8, or just have one Saturday game of the week.

… It is an interesting idea that won’t be resolved when the schedule is announced by May 9, but the NFL likely will give itself some flexibility.

If the NFL decides to play games on Saturday, because of an absence of college football, it would give the Texans the chance to pad their stellar Saturday regular season record. Houston is 3-1 on Saturdays with the lone loss coming in the 2005 season in a 38-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16 at then-Reliant Stadium.

Claypool’s Monster Half Leads Notre Dame to 20-6 Intermission Lead

Notre Dame scored two plays later and takes a 20-6 lead to the locker room at halftime in large part to their star wide receiver who also had a first quarter fumble recovery on special teams.

Through thirty minutes of the Camping World Bowl it’s obvious the best player on the field today has been none other than Chase Claypool who has pulled in four receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown.  It’s worth noting I have no idea how replay officials took away what should have been his second touchdown reception of the half as well, but I digress.

Leading 3-0 in the first quarter and facing a third-and-12, Ian Book found Claypool in the right side of the end zone to score the game’s first touchdown.

Claypool has been fantastic all year and made huge plays in key spots to extend game-deciding drives time and time again.

After Notre Dame stopped Iowa State on a fourth and one late in the first half, Book immediately went to his favorite weapon, Mr. Claypool himself and connected for what anyone watching thought was his second touchdown of the game, but officials overturned the touchdown call and marked him down inside the one yard line.

Notre Dame scored two plays later and takes a 20-6 lead to the locker room at halftime in large part to their star wide receiver who also had a first quarter fumble recovery on special teams.

You’ve got one more half of Chase Claypool ever in a Notre Dame uniform.  Enjoy it and FINISH!

4 reasons to get excited for Saturday NFL football

NFL Saturday football returns in Week 16 with Texans-Bucs, Bills-Patriots, and Niners-Rams

It’s finally here! Saturday NFL football comes back into our lives for one weekend in Week 16. It’s a shame it’s only happening once. The NFL should play Saturday football when Army-Navy is the only college game on the slate. Give the service academies a content window with no opposition, but there’s time to play an early or late game with the Arny-Navy battle sandwiched in between. Much like an NFL team, we deal with what the schedule gives us, so here’s why these Saturday games should be fun.
