Top 5 Plays of 2025: Reliving the Texans' Best Moments Before the Combine

Marc Vandermeer counts down the top 5 Texans plays of 2025 with John Harris before the NFL Combine. From Mills' TD scramble to Rankins' scoop and score and more. With the NFL Combine starting next week, Marc Vandermeer and John Harris put the 2025 season to rest once and for all by counting down Marc's Top 5 Plays and Moments of the year — complete with original radio calls, behind-the-scenes reactions, and details fans may have forgotten. The show opens with raw, honest "post-seasonitis" therapy as both hosts admit this was the hardest Texans season to get over, even harder than 2012. Marc reveals that Bills reporter Sal Capaccio shared the same gut feeling at the Senior Bowl: "We should have been in Houston playing you guys." The countdown begins with an honorable mention (Davis Mills' clutch third-and-16 completion to Nico Collins at Tennessee that saved the winning streak), then moves through the Azeez Al-Shaair "hot potato pick" off Travis Kelce at Kansas City (#5), C.J. Stroud's 75-yard bomb to Jayden Higgins to open the Chargers game in LA (#4), Calen Bullock's fourth-down interception to seal the Buffalo win on Thursday Night Football (#3), Sheldon Rankins' scoop-and-score strip sack against the Steelers in the playoff opener (#2), and the number one moment — Davis Mills' 14-yard scrambling touchdown against Jacksonville that completed the 19-point comeback and ignited the 10-game winning streak.
