Here's an everybody-wins scenario for Houston Texans, Sean Payton

SPORTSMAP ROUNDTABLE

ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on the Texans interest in trading a first round pick for former Saints HC Sean Payton.

Payton is on record saying a mid to late first round pick should be enough draft capital to acquire him from the Saints. With that in mind, should the Texans refuse to offer the No. 12 pick overall and offer next year's pick from the Cleveland Browns instead?

The Broncos hold the 28th overall pick and the Panthers hold the 9th overall pick. If the Panthers aren't willing to deal the 9th pick in the draft, should the Texans feel the same way about the 12 overall pick?

Check out the video above as the guys weigh in on this new idea!

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.
