Texans - Ravens Officially Canceled

The Texans and Ravens game has been officially canceled. Both teams have been given a bye this week, and schedules have been juggled to play the game on September 9. So, obviously, don't start any Texans or Ravens this week (really, this should be a pay site!).

The story is that the Texans didn't want to give up a home game. Given the struggles that the Saints had a few years ago when forced to go on the road for their "home" games, this makes a lot of sense. If Reliant Stadium is not ready to go by the Texans' next home game, they will probably use Rice Stadium instead. Rice Stadium is borderline acceptable for NFL games - in fact, one of the early Super Bowls was played there.
