Here's what the shake-up in the front office means for the Astros

SPORTSMAP ROUNDTABLE PRESENTED BY TIGHT ENDS SPORTS BAR & GRILL

With the season now at an end and the Astros looking towards improving next year, what the Astros need now is a clear focus and stability at the top.

However with the demotion of Reid Ryan, Nolan Ryan walking away, and Jared Crane being promoted to Reid's old position by his father, Jim, we now have to question where the focus of the Astros front office is.

ESPN 97.5's John Granato, A.J. Hoffman, and Raheel Ramzanali dive into the shake-up at the top, and how this will impact the Astros in the near future. SportsMap Roundtable presented by Tight Ends Sports Bar & Grill.

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert's career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game Saturday.

It’s the second straight year Stroud and the Texans (11-7) won in the first round after they beat Cleveland last season.

Herbert threw just three interceptions in the regular season and had never thrown more than two in a game before facing a Texans secondary led by AP All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley, who had two INTs. Kamari Lassiter had the other pick.

The Chargers (11-7), who returned to the playoffs under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, lost in the wild-card round for a second straight time after also losing in the 2022 season to remain without a postseason win since 2018.

Stroud threw for 282 yards with the touchdown pass to Nico Collins and an interception. Collins finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards and a score.

Herbert was 14 of 32 for 242 yards with a 40.9 passer rating.
