If we include a modified version of that list to take into account this past season, I'd throw Andre Johnson's first playoff game touchdown, Watt's interception in the same game, and the Kevin Walter TD against Cincy to clinch the division.

yeah, I think they are slowly working up to 2011 (I didn't see any upload dates on the videos)

I am not sure if they are doing this as a weekly thing or not. I just caught it the first time today on their facebook page

Andre's touchdown at the Arizona game is one of the most impressive plays I've ever seen in football.

I still get goose bumps watching that play.

Agreed. Bounces off one defender, trucks another, and just overpowers the last while going backwards. Pure domination.

I'm sorry but the KC game in 03 and the Miami game in 03 were pretty bigs wins for us back then.

KC was a playoff team with the league leading rusher in Priest Holmes and Future HOF TE Tony Gonzalez and were supposed to smash us and pretty much were until they got greedy and went for two and didn't convert which kind of let us back in the game. It was also a game where we saw Andre Johnson give a flash of the kind of clutch catches he would be making for us for years to come. That catch was incredible!!!!! Then Marcus Coleman returning an INT 100 yds for a TD.

Then we got the Miami game. I believe it was a home opener for Miami in which they hadn't lossed a home opener in like 16 years. They were a Super Bowl Favorite and got Ricky Williams and a defense with Jason Taylor that was facing our offense which gave up a league record in sacks a year before and we go in there and beat them.

Andre acted like he wanted that one.

I want to see more like it, sooner the better.

Man i love how Leach always runs in and stares everyone down and gets in their face if they have something to say after a big play. I miss that guy.

I think you're getting your years confused. We did beat Miami in '03 (Season Opener), and KC was a playoff team that year, and we did play them two weeks after the Dolphins game. They also beat us 42-14.

We won the next season (2004), and Coleman did have a 102 yard int return for a TD, but KC went on to finish 7-9 and out of the playoffs. We've beaten the Chiefs 3 times (and lost twice). They've never gone for a 2 point conversion in the games that we've beaten them.

Here's #6 and one of my all time favorite plays in Texans history - Ravens goal line stuff. Even though they lost.

Since Seth Payne has (partially) moved him and his family back to Houston for business purposes (and on twitter) @PayneNFL and his wife @Brandispayne, The sack for a safety September 8th, 2002 for a 19-10 win over the 'gurls is my top moment!!!



As an aside, welcome back Payne family!!! BTW, both of y'all are hillarious!!

By far one of my all time favorite Texans. Unfortunately I was in New Orleans to see him rip his knee. Freaking rat ran across the field during the game and then of course they changed the field surface mid-season a couple weeks later.

The Texans won 4 games in 2002 including road wins over the Jags and Steelers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that should mean our first road win was against Jville because that was our 2nd win. Then we beat the steelers and then we beat the Giants at home. Right?

That Jville game was kind of cool when Jabar Gaffney threw that lateral to Aaron Glenn on a return and that put the game out of reach. I've always wanted us to try that again.

Nov. 27, 2011: Outside linebacker Connor Barwin totaled four sacks in the Houston Texans' 20-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. VIDEO
