  • Houston Sports Highlight of the Week: The Texans took down a division rival in jolly old England this past weekend when Houston beat Jacksonville 34-31 in a nail-biter of a matchup at Wembley Stadium. With the soccer stadium setting, perhaps it was appropriate that the game came down to kicks. After Cam Little tied it up for the Jaguars with two minutes to go, the Texans quickly drove down the field to set up a 49-yard Ka’imi Fairbairn field goal as time expired. Find highlights and a full recap of all the action in this CBS Sports report.

  • College Sports Report: Conner Weigman had himself a weekend as Houston’s football teams made waves at both the college and pro level. Competing in their first top 20 matchup at TDECU Stadium in over a decade, Weigman threw for a career-high five touchdowns alongside 343 passing yards, the most from a Houston QB since Case Keenum in 2009, to lead the team to a 35-32 victory over Oklahoma State.
