Fox Sports 1 analyst, and ABC 13's Inside the Game Co-Host, Spencer Tillman sees a lot of good things coming out of NRG on Kirby. With Romeo Crennel's 3-4 D, the pressure is coming from all over the place. In light of Scarlett's injury and Cole being on the IR, Jacob Martin is seizing the opportunity and Tillman believes he is a great addition on the outside edge with tremendous speed. The Texans have shored up the secondary with the return of Bradley Roby, and are seeing great linebacker play out of the Swat Team, Benardrick McKinney and Zach Cunningham.
Spencer also sees the Texans high powered offense, with tremendous quarterback play and Watson's use of all of the tools in the toolbox, starting to fire on all cylinders. If the Texans can play at a high level to finish the season, and with what he believes as a realistic chance of JJ Watt retuning as early as round one of the playoffs, Tillman thinks the Texans, sitting at 8-4, can make a legitimate run for a Super Bowl appearance.
Here's a segment of our interview with Spencer, as we break down the Texans' win over the Patriots, talk about the rise of the Ravens and the Forty-Niners and the potential return of JJ Watt.

Green ties career high as Rockets rally to beat the Grizzlies
Jan 13, 2025, 11:22 pm
Jalen Green tied his career high with 42 points, capped by a layup that gave Houston the lead late, and the Rockets rallied for a 120-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
The Grizzlies were down by four before Jaylen Wells made a 3-pointer followed by a steal and layup from Brandon Clarke that put them up 115-114 with just under a minute left.
Green’s layup put the Rockets on top 116-115 before a turnover by Ja Morant gave Houston the ball back. Amen Thompson was fouled and made two free throws with 8.1 seconds left to make it 118-115.
Morant missed two free throws after that and Fred VanVleet added two free throws for Houston with 2.1 seconds left to make it 120-115 and secure the victory.
It was Houston’s fourth straight win overall and second in a row over Memphis after beating the Grizzlies 119-115 on Thursday night.
Morant swished a 38-footer to put the Grizzlies up by 12 with about eight minutes to go.
The Rockets went on a 16-2 run after that to take a 107-105 lead with 4 1/2 minutes remaining. Green and VanVleet had 3-pointers during that stretch and Thompson added six points to help Houston erase the deficit.
Morant had 29 points for the Grizzlies, and Desmond Bane scored 25.
Takeaways
Grizzlies: They need to do a better job of finishing after leading by 12 in the fourth quarter.
Rockets: Green delivered the kind of dominant performance the Rockets need from him on occasion as they look to remain among the top teams in the Western Conference.
Key moment
Houston’s 16-2 run that erased the double-digit deficit.
Key stat
