<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a></strong> pulled off an epic victory without C.J. Stroud, coming back from a 19-point deficit to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. When all seemed lost, the furious comeback allowed them to reach a 4-5 record, keeping their playoff wildcard hopes alive.</p>



<p>At the moment, leading the AFC South seems very difficult, as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a></strong> have a comfortable lead with 8-2. However, in a very important detail, DeMeco Ryans’ team still has to face Indianapolis twice, so anything is possible.</p>



<p>Although Davis Mills had a solid performance against the Jaguars, throwing for 292 yards and two touchdown passes, the reality is that any hope of reaching the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> for the Texans depends on C.J. Stroud’s health. There is already news regarding this.</p>



<h2>Will C.J. Stroud play for Texans against Titans in Week 11?</h2>



<p>No. C.J. Stroud will not play for the Houston Texans against the Tennessee Titans, as he remains in the concussion protocol. The information was confirmed by head coach DeMeco Ryans. This is the second game Stroud will miss following the hit he took in Week 9 during the matchup with the Denver Broncos.</p>


        

        


<h2>Who is Texans’ starting quarterback?</h2>



<p>Davis Mills will be the Texans’ starting quarterback in the visit to the Titans in Nashville. Despite Stroud’s absence, facing one of the worst teams in the league could give Ryans a chance to secure a road victory without his star player.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/the-most-memorable-houston-texans-players"></div>


<p>The big problem for Houston is that after the game against Tennessee, they have a short week, as they will play next Thursday against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. After that, in Week 13, the schedule places the first key matchup with the Colts. Stroud’s presence will be vital for that tough stretch.</p>

<p>The <strong>Houston Texans</strong> and the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> are set to clash in a pivotal Week 10 NFL matchup today, albeit with the Texans facing a significant handicap. Starting quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CJ Stroud</a></strong> has been ruled out due to a concussion sustained in last week’s game against the Denver Broncos. As confirmed by the team’s medical staff and reported on the <a href="https://www.houstontexans.com/team/injury-report/"><strong>Texans’ official website</strong></a>, Stroud’s absence looms large over Houston’s game-day strategy.</p>



<p>In the absence of their QB1, <strong>the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texans</a> are confronted with a daunting task, especially considering their lackluster performance thus far this season. </strong>With the fervent support of their hometown fans potentially being a game-changer, Houston hopes to capitalize on home-field advantage against a formidable Jaguars team. The Texan faithful could indeed be instrumental in today’s outcome.</p>



<p>Sporting a 3-5 record this season, the Texans’ offensive struggles are evident, having exceeded 20 points in merely three contests and surpassing the 30-point mark in just one. Compounding their challenge, <strong>they’re up against a Jacksonville squad that overpowered them 17-10 in Week 3</strong>, further underscoring the uphill battle they face without their starting quarterback.</p>



<p>Conversely, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a></strong>‘ campaign paints a different picture with a solid 5-3 standing. Trevor Lawrence has been integral to their success, boasting 1,840 passing yards and nine touchdowns to date. As they seek to extend their winning streak, today’s matchup presents an opportunity to further cement their position,<strong> especially against a Texans team missing such a critical component of their roster.</strong></p>

<h2>Who’s replacing C.J. Stroud for the Texans?</h2>



<p>In the absence of C.J. Stroud,<strong> the Houston Texans are set to rely on Davis Mills to fill the quarterback position. </strong>Mills, who already has two games under his belt this regular season, has so far thrown for 160 passing yards, completed 55% of his passes (19 out of 34 attempts), and secured 9 first-downs.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/video-cj-stroud-suffers-scary-hit-during-texans-vs-broncos"></div>


<p>With Mills at the helm, connecting with key players such as Nick Chubb and Nico Collins, <strong>the Texans’ fan base is hopeful that Stroud’s absence will not significantly impact their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at NRG Stadium.</strong></p>



<h2>Full injury report update</h2>



<p>Beyond Stroud, the Texans have other players who will also be sidelined for today’s matchup against Jacksonville. Among those is Ed Ingram, <strong>who is listed as out for this game, along with four other players in similar status for the Texans.</strong></p>

Why is CJ Stroud not playing today for Texans vs Jaguars in Week 10 of 2025 NFL season?

Why is CJ Stroud not playing today for Texans vs Jaguars in Week 10 of 2025 NFL season? - Bolavip US

<p>Quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a></strong> and head coach <strong>Liam Coen </strong>have been frustrated with one thing this season: <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> wide receivers getting injured. Well, as they prepare to face the Houston Texans, one more wideout will be nursing another injury and not playing.</p>



<p>After missing three straight practices with an ankle injury, <strong>the team officially ruled him out for Week 10’s game versus the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Texans</a></strong>. This will be the first time in 2025 where the Jags don’t have their most talented receiver.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Hunter</a> is also sidelined, so literally the two-best wide receivers of the team are out of commission<strong>.</strong> <strong>The Jaguars also lead the NFL in dropped pases</strong>. It’s a huge problem on the team.</p>



<h2>Brian Thomas Jr. has struggled this season</h2>



<p><strong>Brian Thomas Jr. had such an incredible rookie season that this year the expectations were sky-high</strong>. However, the LSU product has not lived up to that during his second year. You could say he is going through the infamous ‘<em>sophomore slump</em>‘ and his chemistry with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> has diminished.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251107_BUS_522587_brian-thomas-jr-jax-1024x576_f2aee83f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brian Thomas Jr. #7 of the Jacksonville Jaguars." class="wp-image-427185" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brian Thomas Jr. #7 of the Jacksonville Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Thomas has 30 receptions in 60 targets, for 420 yards and just one touchdown. He also has nine drops already. In comparison, he had 65.4% catch rate instead of 50%, he had 1,282 yards and ten touchdowns. As a matter of fact, <strong>he also had seven drops in all season, so he already surpassed this number in just eight games this season.</strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liam Coen</a> is not happy with those struggles.</p>

<h2>Who can step up for the Jaguars?</h2>



<p><strong>Newly-arrived Jakobi Meyers will slide right into it and he is a very good wide receiver</strong>, however he barely knows the playbook. Also, Parker Washington has been surging as a big weapon amid all the injuries.</p>



<p>Washington has 19 targets in the last two games. <strong>He’s caught 12 receptions for 142 yards in those two games.</strong> He is likely to have another big games against a tough defense like Houston’s.</p>

<p>After suffering a brutal hit while sliding down, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Texans</a></strong>‘ quarterback <strong>CJ Stroud</strong> was declared out of the game due to a concussion. Hence, the question is who’s next on the depth chart while Stroud is out?</p>



<p>Right now, <strong>is former starter <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davis-mills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Davis Mills</a> under center for the Texans</strong>. If Mills suffers any issue, it would be sixth-round rookie Graham Mertz the third QB. Mills started plenty of games for the Texans between 2021 and 2022.</p>



<p>After that, he’s been the backup of the team. At times during his first two seasons, Mills showed some promise, but <strong>the turnovers where his biggest downfall</strong>. That, and the fact that the Texans found in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stroud</a> a franchise quarterback.</p>



<h2>What does Mills bring to the table?</h2>



<p><strong>Mills is 6-foot-4 and 225 lbs, which is a good build for a quarterback</strong>. Also, being on the team since 2021, he knows the playbook inside and out. Mills is a pure pocket passer so he needs to plant himself in the pocket. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251102_BUS_519800_Davis-Mills-of-the-Texans-1024x572_5bdf3145.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Davis Mills of the Texans" class="wp-image-49118" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Davis Mills of the Texans</figcaption></figure>



<p>The bad news is Houston won’t give him too much time. <strong>The Texans have one of the worst offensive lines in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. They allow too much pressure and buy little to no time.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-texans-gm-provides-unclear-update-on-joe-mixon"></div>


<h2>Mills’ career numbers indicate high risk, high regard</h2>



<p><strong>Mills has a career record of 5-19-1.</strong> He also has a career 62.5% completion for 6,190 yards, 35 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. While he is not as crazy as a Jameis Winston, <strong>Mills can either burn you or get burned.</strong></p>



<p>The bad side of this is that he averages 7.5 yards per pass attempt. So it’s not like he is just ripping balls downfield. He does every once in a while, but what it’s telling here is that <strong>when he gets picked, he is just reading bad defenses instead of rolling the dice</strong>.</p>

<p>Hearts stopped at NRG Stadium after <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">C.J. Stroud</a></strong> took a hard hit during the game between the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a></strong> and <strong>Denver Broncos</strong>. On a quarterback scramble, Stroud was met by defenders and went down hard, sending a scare through everyone in attendance.</p>



<p>As he reached the Texans’ 30-yard line, Stroud took a heavy hit from Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, a collision that left the signal-caller down on the turf. Moments later, tempers flared as players from both sides exchanged words.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Ian Rapoport reported minutes later that the former Ohio State quarterback was taken to the locker room for further evaluation. <strong><em>“QB CJ Stroud, who took a hard hit while sliding, is headed to the locker room for further evaluation,”</em></strong> the insider reported via <em>@RapSheet.</em></p>

<h2>Replacements for Stroud</h2>



<p>With franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud sidelined following a recent head injury, the Houston <strong>Texans immediately turn to experienced backup Davis Mills to take over the starting duties</strong>. Mills, who has prior starting experience for the team, offers a steady, veteran presence to keep the offense operational. </p>



<p>Behind him, the Texans have rookie Graham Mertz waiting in the wings as the emergency third quarterback, a player the organization views as a developmental prospect, providing essential depth in an unexpected moment of crisis for Houston’s QB room.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cj-stroud-injured-vs-broncos-whos-his-backup-a-look-at-the-texans-qb-depth-chart"></div>


<h2>CJ Stroud’s impact on Houston’s offense</h2>



<p>C.J. Stroud remains the undeniable engine of the Houston Texans’ offense, accounting for nearly all of the team’s passing production this season. Through seven games, Stroud has thrown for 1,623 yards and 11 touchdowns, maintaining a solid 93.7 passer rating. </p>



<p>His significant contribution is evident in the team’s total passing yards, with his backups combining for a negligible share of the team’s aerial attack, underscoring his irreplaceable value to the entire unit.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a></strong>’ inconsistent <strong>NFL</strong> season leaves no room for another loss if their hopes of securing a Wild Card spot are to remain alive. <strong>CJ Stroud</strong> and <strong>Dalton Schultz</strong> showcased strong play in their last game against the 49ers and aim to carry that form into NRG Stadium against the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong>.</p>



<p>The good news for DeMeco Ryans’ team is that Dalton Schultz, who had been listed as questionable for the matchup against the Broncos, <strong>will get on the field if the coach decides.</strong></p>



<p>The news was confirmed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> reporter Adam Schefter, who shared the update on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, highlighting a key development for the Texans, who desperately need a home win.</p>



<p>On the extensive list of active players shared by insider <em>@AdamSchefter</em>, the tight end’s name appears, giving the Texans’ offense reason to be optimistic about making a big impact in Week 9.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251102_BUS_519608_dalton-schultz-cj-stroud-1024x576_e3cd2a99.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="CJ Stroud with Dalton Schultz" class="wp-image-519618" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>C.J. Stroud #7 of the Houston Texans and Dalton Schultz #86.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The impact of Schultz’s play on the Texans</h2>



<p>Tight end Dalton Schultz has quickly cemented himself as a critical component of the Houston Texans’ offense and a go-to safety valve for quarterback C.J. Stroud. Through seven games this season, <strong>Schultz is the second-leading receiver on the team, demonstrating his reliability with 32 receptions for 308 yards. </strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/the-most-memorable-houston-texans-players"></div>


<p>His high-volume usage, including a stellar nine-catch, 98-yard performance in Week 7, underscores his role as Stroud’s primary option over the middle and in key down-and-distance situations.</p>



<h2>Keeping pace in the AFC South</h2>



<p>The Houston Texans (3-4) face a pivotal moment in their season as they welcome the Denver Broncos to NRG Stadium. With the AFC playoff race heating up, this isn’t just another game for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">C.J. Stroud</a> and the squad—it’s a must-win for their postseason aspirations. </p>



<p>A victory against the Broncos would elevate the Texans to a crucial 4-4 record, keeping them within striking distance of the Wild Card picture and crucially preventing the gap from widening behind the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3). </p>



<p>Coming off Stroud’s best passing game of the season last week, the Texans need to carry that momentum and defensive intensity into this home contest to secure the tie-breaker advantage and solidify their position as legitimate contenders in a crowded AFC field.</p>

<p>Long before the modern <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> became a billion-dollar spectacle, its landscape was scattered with teams that vanished into history. Cities like Canton, Pottsville and Duluth once fielded squads that helped shape the early game.</p>



<p>Some folded quietly, others were uprooted in search of greener pastures. <strong>Relocations, rebrands and financial turmoil redrew the league’s map</strong>, leaving behind empty fields and forgotten fan bases.</p>



<p>These are the lost chapters — <strong>stories of ambition and instability</strong> that remind us how fragile greatness once was before football found its permanent home. In their rise and fall lies the blueprint of the league we know today.</p>



<h2>Defunct NFL franchises</h2>



<h3>Akron Pros/Indians</h3>



<p>Few remember that the first champion of the NFL—or more accurately, the American Professional Football Association in 1920—was a team from Ohio. The Akron Pros, evolved from the semi-pro <strong>Akron Indians</strong> who had been playing since 1908 and earned championships in the Ohio League. </p>



<p>The 1920 triumph was historic: an undefeated season that crowned them champions based on the number of wins. However, their light faded quickly. Despite being a charter member of the league, the Akron team could not sustain itself financially. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/most-loyal-nfl-fans-through-losing-seasons"></div>


<p>The name briefly reverted to the Akron Indians in their final year, 1926, before the weight of the Great Depression and the league’s instability forced their extinction, closing one of the earliest and least-celebrated chapters of the NFL.</p>



<h3>Canton Bulldogs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Canton-Bulldogs-1024x576_75fdd666.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518701" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Canton Bulldogs (Source: American Football Database)</figcaption></figure>



<p>It is a cosmic irony that the city hosting the Pro Football Hall of Fame saw its own team disappear. The <strong>Canton Bulldogs</strong>, with Olympic legend Jim Thorpe as their brightest star, were the league’s first great powerhouse, capturing consecutive NFL titles in 1922 and 1923. </p>



<p>They demonstrated absolute dominance, maintaining a 25-game unbeaten streak, a record that stood for decades. But athletic success did not guarantee longevity. Financial woes forced a temporary relocation in 1924, when the assets and players moved to Cleveland. </p>



<p>Although an attempt to revive the team in Canton was made in 1925 and 1926, the franchise simply could not regain its original momentum and folded, leaving an indelible legacy in history, but no team to honor its name at home.</p>



<h3>Frankford Yellow Jackets</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Frankford-Yellow-Jackets-1024x576_5928894f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518699" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Frankford Yellow Jackets (Source: Hidden City Philadelphia)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Long before the Philadelphia Eagles became the football standard in the “City of Brotherly Love,” there were the <strong>Frankford Yellow Jackets</strong>. This squad, located in the Frankford section of Northeast Philadelphia, was not only the first professional NFL team in the city but achieved ultimate glory by winning the 1926 NFL Championship, setting league records for wins that would not be broken for sixty years. </p>



<p>They were a community institution, complete with their own band and cheerleaders. Tragically, the economic depression, combined with ownership troubles and the stadium’s bankruptcy, made the operation unsustainable. The franchise ceased operations in late 1931 and was returned to the league, paving the way for the NFL to grant an expansion franchise two years later, which became the Eagles.</p>



<h3>St. Louis Gunners</h3>



<p>If there is a truly anomalous story on this list, it belongs to the <strong>St. Louis Gunners</strong>. Emerging from the sponsorship of the 128th Field Artillery of the Missouri National Guard in 1931, the team was originally named “Battery A Gunners”. </p>



<p>Their brief stint in the NFL in 1934 was little more than a flash. After an impressive start as an independent team, they were invited to finish the remaining schedule for the 1934 NFL season, effectively replacing the short-lived Cincinnati Reds. </p>



<p>The team played only three league games, posting a 1-2 record, with the last game falling on Christmas Eve. Their stay was as brief as it was memorable. Unable to secure a spot for 1935, and amidst the league’s financial instability, they vanished, though their existence marked St. Louis’s first foray into major league football.</p>



<h3>Dallas Texans</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Dallas-Texans-1024x576_787b4ed1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518681" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dallas Texans (Source: Sports Team History)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The 1952 <strong>Dallas Texans</strong> are the definition of a football catastrophe, both on and off the field. This franchise was born from the ashes of the dissolved New York Yanks. Hoping to bring professional football to Texas, the experiment was an instant failure. </p>



<p>With a miserable 1-11 record, the team was so poor financially and had such low attendance that the NFL was forced to take over the team mid-season. The “Texans” became a traveling road show, playing their final “home” games in places like Hershey, Pennsylvania, and the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio, where they achieved their single victory. </p>



<p>After the season, the franchise was formally canceled—the last time in NFL history a franchise completely folded—with its assets used to establish the 1953 Baltimore Colts.</p>



<h2>New York Yanks</h2>



<p>The <strong>New York Yanks</strong> is a testament to the post-war volatility of the NFL. The franchise was established in 1949 by buying and relocating the Boston Yanks. The team played in the famous Yankee Stadium but never managed to connect with the public. </p>



<p>Instability was the norm: after just three seasons, and failing to secure a solid fan base, owner Ted Collins sold the team back to the league. The league took its assets and, in a quick chess move, used them to create the aforementioned Dallas Texans of 1952. This short period underscores how difficult it was to maintain a franchise in the early 1950s, even in a market as large as New York.</p>



<h2>Relocated NFL franchises</h2>



<h3>Decatur Staleys</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Decatur-Staleys-1024x576_0e663e34.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518685" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Decatur Staleys (Source: Staley Museum)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The name <strong>Decatur Staleys</strong> may not resonate, but it is the starting point for one of the NFL’s most iconic and oldest franchises: the Chicago Bears. The team was founded in 1919 by the A. E. Staley food starch company of Decatur, Illinois, as a company team—a common model then. </p>



<p>In 1920, the company hired future legend George Halas to run the team. Halas was instrumental in founding the APFA. In 1921, Staley gave Halas full control, and he quickly realized the Decatur market was too small. </p>



<p>The relocation to Chicago in 1921, with the name change to the Chicago Bears the following year, was not a failure but a masterful business move that ensured the franchise’s survival and longevity. They remain one of only two charter members of the NFL still operating today.</p>



<h3>Portsmouth Spartans</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Portsmouth-Spartans-1024x576_79c005b2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518686" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Portsmouth Spartans (Source: Sports Team History)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Portsmouth Spartans</strong> were a professional American football team based in Portsmouth, Ohio, a city that, despite its small size, managed to host an NFL team from 1930 to 1933. Their most notable achievement was being the first NFL team to play a playoff game. </p>



<p>However, geography and economics worked against them. The Great Depression made it impossible to sustain a profitable franchise in such a limited market. In a pivotal move, a group of investors in Detroit bought the team and moved it in 1934, renaming it the Detroit Lions. This relocation demonstrated that the success of professional football was beginning to depend on attracting large audiences in bigger urban centers.</p>



<h3>Boston Redskins</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Boston-Redskins-1024x576_b6597c8b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518687" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Boston Redskins (Source: Sports Team History)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The franchise now known as the Washington Commanders began its journey in Boston in 1932, initially as the Boston Braves, sharing a stadium with the baseball team. The following year, with the move to Fenway Park, the name was changed to the <strong>Boston Redskins</strong>. </p>



<p>Despite winning the Eastern Division in 1936, owner George Preston Marshall was chronically dissatisfied with fan support in Boston. As an act of protest, Marshall even moved the 1936 NFL Championship game to New York. Predictably, the franchise moved to Washington D.C. in 1937. </p>



<p>The move to the nation’s capital, featuring the debut of legendary quarterback Sammy Baugh, gave the franchise the fan base momentum and recognition Marshall craved.</p>



<h3>Cleveland Rams</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Cleveland-Rams-1024x576_08e072f5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518688" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cleveland Rams (Source: The Cleveland Rams)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Cleveland Rams</strong> represent a fascinating chapter of audacity and boundary-breaking. Founded in 1937, they struggled early in Ohio. Their moment of glory came in 1945 when they improbably won the NFL Championship with a team led by rookie Bob Waterfield. </p>



<p>What makes their story unique is what happened immediately after: owner Dan Reeves moved the franchise to Los Angeles in 1946. This was not a relocation forced by failure but a strategic move to capitalize on L.A.’s growth, making them the first major league professional sports team on the West Coast. This bold step not only established the Rams as pioneers but laid the groundwork for the professional sports boom in California.</p>



<h3>Houston Oilers</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Houston-Oilers-1024x576_3e817ea5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518689" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Houston Oilers (Source: Texas State Historical Association)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The history of the <strong>Houston Oilers</strong> is one of the most painful and controversial relocations in recent NFL history. Charter members of the American Football League (AFL) in 1960 and with deep roots in Texas, the Oilers were a Houston fixture for decades, with highlights including back-to-back playoff appearances in the late ’70s and early ’90s. </p>



<p>However, after years of disputes with the city over a new stadium, owner Bud Adams decided to cut ties with Houston. The team moved to Tennessee in 1997, playing two seasons as the Tennessee Oilers before finally adopting the name Tennessee Titans in 1999. The move left a bitter void in Houston that was only filled years later with the birth of the Texans.</p>



<h3>St. Louis Rams</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_St.-Louis-Rams-1024x576_61e3dbe2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518690" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>St. Louis Rams (Source: NFL)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Rams</strong> franchise holds the most complex relocation history in the league. After leaving Cleveland for Los Angeles, they moved for a second time to <strong>St. Louis</strong> in 1995, attempting to secure a market that had lost the Cardinals. </p>



<p>In St. Louis, the team reached its historic peak, winning Super Bowl XXXIV in 1999 with the famous “Greatest Show on Turf”—one of the most explosive offenses ever seen. Despite the initial athletic success and a Super Bowl title, the relationship with the city soured over stadium issues. </p>



<p>In one of the NFL’s most recent and emotional relocations, owner Stan Kroenke secured approval to return the franchise to Los Angeles in 2016, leaving St. Louis without a team for the second time and closing the chapter on the Rams in the heart of Missouri.</p>



<h3>Los Angeles Chargers</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Los-Angeles-Chargers-1024x576_0a17a9d5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518691" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Los Angeles Chargers (Source: Sports Team History)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Founded in <strong>Los Angeles</strong> in 1960 as an original member of the AFL, the <strong>Chargers</strong> barely lasted a year in Southern California. The original owner, hotel heir Barron Hilton, couldn’t compete with the already established Rams and, facing low attendance at the Memorial Coliseum, quickly moved the franchise to San Diego in 1961. </p>



<p>There, they became the San Diego Chargers for 56 years, leaving an indelible mark on the city. The return to Los Angeles, a move heavily criticized by San Diego fans, occurred in 2017. The franchise returned to its birth market, driven by the promise of a new state-of-the-art stadium and belief in the economic potential of the vast L.A. market, completing an unusual round-trip cycle.</p>



<h3>Oakland Raiders</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518631_Oakland-Raiders-1024x576_316ec82c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518692" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Oakland Raiders (Source: Raiders.com)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Raiders</strong>, born in <strong>Oakland</strong> in 1960 as part of the AFL, are perhaps the most nomadic and yet most iconic franchise in the league. Under the philosophy and leadership of Al Davis, the team forged a reputation for rebellion. Their history includes three dramatic relocations:</p>



<ul><li>Oakland to Los Angeles (1982): After years of legal battles over improving the stadium in Oakland, Davis moved the franchise to Los Angeles, where they won a Super Bowl.</li></ul>



<ul><li>Los Angeles back to Oakland (1995): They returned to their hometown upon the promise of stadium improvements, a move greeted with jubilation.</li></ul>



<ul><li>Oakland to Las Vegas (2020): The final decision to move to Las Vegas was due to a deadlock in negotiations for a new stadium in the Bay Area, sealing the team’s fate in Nevada. The team, now the Las Vegas Raiders, is an example of how franchise loyalty can be eclipsed by the search for modern infrastructure and better revenue opportunities, leaving Oakland without its team for the second time.</li></ul>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan">Kyle Shanahan</a> witnessed another defeat for the <strong>San Francisco 49ers</strong> on the road, the team’s second consecutive loss since October 12th, leaving the head coach with no option but to emphasize the solid performance of the <strong>Houston Texans </strong>following the blowout received at NRG Stadium.</p>



<p><em>“Got beat today. Credit to them. <strong>They kicked our a—</strong>.”</em> Shanahan said following the game. However, he insisted his team would treat the defeat as a learning opportunity, noting, <em>“We’ve got to take it like men, <strong>come back a little p—d off</strong>, and come back better than we did this week.”</em></p>



<p>Shanahan took a philosophical stance about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a>’ injuries, noting that he’s grown<strong> accustomed to the issue </strong>over his career. He admitted, <em>“Injuries are a part of the game. I used to be a lot more frustrated with them.<strong> I’m a lot more used to it over my career.</strong>”</em> He pinpointed the real frustration as trying to adjust the game plan on the fly, stating the challenge is <em>“trying to find answers throughout the game.”</em></p>



<h2>Mac Jones and George Kittle join Shanahan in post-game talk</h2>



<p>Following the 49ers’ road loss to the Texans, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a> suggested the <strong>offense failed to sustain drives</strong>, saying their inability to get crucial first downs led to a domino effect. He stressed that by going three-and-out too often, the offense left the defense exhausted on the field.</p>

<p><em>“When you’re out there for so many plays, <strong>you get tired.</strong> Even if you just get a couple of first downs, it takes some pressure off the defense.” </em>Jones said<em>. “<strong>We’ve got to be better there.</strong> Our defense has come up clutch all year in those situations.”</em></p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">Kittle</a> offered a candid assessment of the 49ers’ struggles, particularly in the first half of their loss to the Texans. He acknowledged <strong>the offense was virtually nonexistent</strong>, stating, <em>“The first half was tough. We had 12 plays until the last drive.”</em></p>



<p>He emphasized the unit’s failure to support their shorthanded defense, adding, <em>“We <strong>didn’t do anything to help our defense </strong>in the entire first half. I thought our defense played really well with the pieces that were lost during the game.”</em> Kittle concluded with a direct challenge:<strong><em> “Our offense has to score points.”</em></strong></p>

<p>After back-to-back wins, the <strong>Houston Texans</strong> are slowly beginning to find their rhythm this <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season. <strong>C.J. Stroud</strong>, the clear leader of this team, has managed to run the offense on his own terms—even with the added challenge of being without <strong>Joe Mixon</strong> through all five games.</p>


        


<p>The veteran running back has been sidelined with a foot injury since the offseason and was placed on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list in late August — a move that has kept him from seeing any game action alongside his teammates so far this season.</p>



<p>Nick Caserio spoke to the media about the situation and, while stopping short of confirming a return date, revealed that the team will wait a few more weeks before having a clearer picture of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-mixon">Mixon</a>’s physical condition.</p>



<p><strong><em>“He is making progress. . . Over the next few three or four weeks probably we’ll get more information here,”</em></strong> the General Manager stated on his press conference. <em>“But, taking one day at a time.”</em></p>

<h2>What happened to Mixon?</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a> are still operating without veteran running back Joe Mixon, who has missed the entire 2025 season <strong>after sustaining a foot/ankle injury during an offseason workout.</strong> Mixon was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, which ruled him out for at least the first four games. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cj-stroud-turns-heads-with-bold-admission-following-texans-statement-win-over-ravens"></div>


<p>While the 29-year-old is now eligible to be activated, <strong>General Manager Nick Caserio stated on Tuesday that there is no set timetable for his return</strong>.</p>



<p>In the meantime, the Texans’ backfield has relied on a shared workload between veteran Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks. Mixon, who ran for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, remains a significant question mark for the team’s offensive outlook.</p>



<h2>Getting back into AFC South contention</h2>



<p>The Houston Texans are suddenly surging in the AFC South race, riding a two-game winning streak to climb back into contention. After a dominant 44-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Texans now sit at a 2-3 record, putting pressure on the division leaders.</p>


        


<p>With the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars currently atop the division with 4-1 records, Houston is now just two games back in the loss column. While the schedule stiffens ahead, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">C.J. Stroud</a> and the Texans’ offense have shown flashes of their potential, proving they are far from out of the hunt as they enter their bye week looking to build on their momentum and close the gap on their AFC South rivals.</p>

<p>The <strong>Houston</strong> <strong>Texans</strong> faced the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a></strong> in Week 5 of the <strong>NFL </strong>and made history with a dominant 44-10 road victory. Head coach <strong>DeMeco Ryans </strong>shared his thoughts on the historic win.</p>



<p>Ryans reflected on the performance after the game, according to reporter Aaron Wilson. <strong>He expressed pride in the team for stepping up and executing well across all phases</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“Proud of all of our guys for the way they showed up today and executed in all three phases of the game. Guys played the game the right way.

<p>Houston entered the matchup with a 1-3 record, coming off their first win over the Tennessee Titans after losing their first three games. <strong>A road win against Ravens in Baltimore was especially significant, marking the first in franchise history.</strong></p>

<h2>How the Texans played vs Ravens</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a> controlled the game from start to finish, <strong>holding a 24-7 lead at halftime.</strong> Baltimore didn’t reach the end zone until the third quarter when Henry scored on a one-yard rushing touchdown.</p>

<p>There’s no doubt the <strong>Houston Texans</strong> had the talent — and over the last two games, they’ve proven it. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">CJ Stroud</a></strong> finally showed that his comments about not being 100% were all in jest. With a masterful performance, he led the Texans to a commanding win over the <strong>Baltimore Ravens</strong> — and did it in style at none other than M&amp;T Bank Stadium.</p>


        


<p><em>“I feel like I’m getting old,”</em> Stroud said early this week. <em>“I’m not as quick as I used to be. I was watching my high school stuff a couple days ago, I was like 180 [pounds] and I was rolling. But not no more.”</em></p>



<p>His outstanding performance on the Ravens’ home turf made it clear—Stroud’s <strong>previous remarks were nothing more than a smokescreen to throw off his opponents</strong>. And he didn’t shy away from admitting it to the media after the Texans sealed a dominant 44-10 victory.</p>



<p><em>“I was just playing, <strong>I was in a joking way when I said that but I think I showed a little athleticism today</strong>,”</em> the QB told <em>CBS Sports. “I ain’t been out on the edge in a minute, so I thought I maybe should have got in, but I’m just happy my o-line was blocking great. They gave me an edge, and I took off. I’m feeling fast again.”</em></p>

<h2>Demolition in Baltimore</h2>



<p>In a shocking display of dominance, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a> absolutely dismantled the Baltimore Ravens on their own turf Sunday, cruising to a stunning 44-10 victory in Week 5. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ravens-fans-blast-john-harbaugh-after-awful-loss-vs-texans-without-lamar-jackson"></div>


<p>Quarterback C.J. Stroud had a masterful performance, <strong>throwing for 244 yards and four touchdowns</strong>, as the Texans’ offense scored on their first eight possessions. Houston’s clinical attack, coupled with a ferocious defense that racked up multiple takeaways, held the struggling Ravens offense—led by backup Cooper Rush—to a single touchdown.</p>



<p> The 34-point defeat ties the record for the most lopsided home loss in Ravens franchise history, a devastating blow that leaves the Baltimore faithful searching for answers after an unexpectedly brutal outing.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a></strong> were 1-3 and without <strong>Lamar Jackson</strong> entering today’s game vs. the <strong>Houston Texans</strong>. After a blowout defeat, fans are not happy with the state of the team and head coach <strong>John Harbaugh</strong> is the one under the scope.</p>



<p>The Ravens lost 44-10 and were dominated. Fans were fuming. User RJaron95 said, “<em><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LAMAR JACKSON</a> IS THE MVP EVERY YEAR! This game, and their games without him prove that. <strong>I’m not blaming Lamar for anything anymore until Harbaugh, Orr, &amp; Monken are fired</strong>. The Ravens have been pathetic this game</em>.”</p>



<p>“<em><strong>This is who Harbaugh’s always been. Without a QB to save him, his weak coaching gets exposed immediately.</strong> Legit coaches elevate teams- Harbaugh’s whole team looks awful &amp; it’s painfully clear they’ve checked out. <strong>He’s lost the locker room &amp; fans want him gone</strong>,</em>” Edgar Allan Omar said on his X profile. Yikes.</p>



<h2>Harbaugh’s heir is now thriving elsewhere</h2>



<p>Since the Ravens have been a contender since 2019, <strong>everybody forgets that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harbaugh</a> was on the hot seat but Lamar pretty much saved his job</strong>.

<p>Macdonald actually became a head coach, but not in Baltimore. He is now thriving in Seattle and the Ravens have no good prospects now. What it’s clear is that Ravens’ fans want a change.

<h2>The defense is statistically atrocious</h2>



<p>Macdonald would’ve not only become the head coach, <strong>but that would’ve ensured the team’s defense remained as an elite unit</strong>. Even if the Ravens have injuries, they still do have plenty of talent to be this bad.</p>



<p><strong>The defense has allowed 37 or more points in four games and we’re only in Week 5.</strong> Only the Browns haven’t been able to score and they are one of the worst offenses in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.

<p>Baltimore ultimately confirmed that <strong>Jackson will not take the field and that Cooper Rush will step in as the starter</strong>. His absence raises a key question: when was the last time the Ravens took the field without their star quarterback?</p>



<h2>When was the last time the Ravens played without Jackson as the starter?</h2>



<p>The last time Lamar Jackson did not start a regular-season game for the Baltimore Ravens <strong>was in Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season (played in early January 2024)</strong>, when the team had already secured its playoff spot and decided to rest him. Tyler Huntley started that game in his place.</p>

<p>It has been 23 games since then that the Ravens have had Jackson as their starter, <strong>spanning from the end of the 2023 season through Week 4 of the 2025 campaign</strong>. Baltimore went 13-10 during that stretch, highlighted by the franchise winning the division last season.</p>

<h2>How long will Jackson be out?</h2>



<p>Jackson’s absence could last between two and three weeks, <strong>which will force the</strong> <strong>Ravens to quickly reconfigure their offense to avoid falling further behind against a tough opposing defense</strong>. Rush’s performance in the game against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a> and the support of those around him will be key for Baltimore to stay competitive during this critical stage of the season.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a></strong> have endured a shaky start to the season, still trying to find the right rhythm under head coach <strong>DeMeco Ryans</strong> and second-year quarterback CJ Stroud. The same can be said of the <strong>Baltimore Ravens</strong>, who continue to lean heavily on star quarterback <strong>Lamar Jackson</strong>. These two teams are set to face off in back-to-back matchups, making this clash between the Texans and Ravens even more intriguing.</p>



<p>The Texans could look to take advantage of Baltimore’s injury concerns. <strong>Jackson remains questionable with a hamstring issue</strong>, while the Ravens are already without cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), and linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring).</p>



<p>Even with Jackson’s status uncertain,<strong> the Texans have made it clear they are preparing as if the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> MVP will play</strong>. During a press conference, Ryans was asked if Houston has tried to simulate Jackson’s skill set in practice. His response showed both honesty and respect.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>We cannot replicate Lamar Jackson</strong>. I have no one here who can help me,” </em><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/demeco-ryans">Ryans</a> said with a laugh in a video posted by Houston Stressans on X. <em>“<strong>It’s very difficult to replicate Lamar.</strong> You try sometimes, maybe put receivers or other skilled players at quarterback, but it’s not the same.”</em></p>

<h2>Ryans praised Lamar Jackson</h2>



<p>The 41-year-old coach, now in his third season leading the Texans, went on to heap praise on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Jackson</a>, <strong>who continues to be regarded as one of the league’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks</strong>.</p>

<p><em>“When you see Lamar on a Sunday, you see that’s a bad man. Nobody can replicate him. <strong>He’s a special player, all in a league of his own</strong>. We don’t even try to replicate him,”</em> Ryans said.</p>



<p>The Texans have been steady defensively despite their inconsistent record, and they will look to pressure whoever lines up under center for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore</a> in Week 5. <strong>If Jackson is unable to play, veteran backup Cooper Rush is expected to take over.</strong></p>
