2025 Houston Texans season

24th season in franchise history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025 season was the Houston Texans' 24th in the National Football League (NFL), their fifth under general manager Nick Caserio and their third under head coach DeMeco Ryans. The Texans improved on their 10–7 record from previous two seasons after a win against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17, making the playoffs for the third consecutive season for the first time in franchise history. This is the first time in Texans history that they made the playoffs as a Wild Card team as they failed to hold their AFC South title after the Jaguars beat the Titans in Week 18.^[1] For the first time since 2009, Jon Weeks was not on the team's roster, as he signed with the San Francisco 49ers. This will be the final season where the Texans play at NRG Stadium.

The Texans began the season with a 0–3 record for the first time since the 2020 season and stood at 3–5 through Week 9. The team later rebounded with a nine-game winning streak following a victory over the Indianapolis Colts, finishing the regular season with a 12–5 record and surpassing their combined win total from the previous two seasons. Houston reached the playoffs for the second time in franchise history after starting 0–3, having previously done so in 2018, and became the first NFL team to accomplish the feat multiple times.^{[citation needed]}

The Texans recorded their first road postseason victory with a 30–6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round but the team's season would officially come to an end when they would lose to the New England Patriots 28–16 in the Divisional round, preventing them from making their first AFC Championship appearance in franchise history.

The Houston Texans drew an average home attendance of 70,782, the 11th-highest of all NFL teams.^[2]

Houston delivered a dominant performance with a 44–10 blowout victory over the Baltimore Ravens, thoroughly outperforming them in all phases of the game. Quarterback C.J. Stroud led the Texans on scoring drives in all eight offensive possessions while he was on the field. The game marked the first time Stroud led the Texans to an offensive touchdown against the Ravens, after failing to do so in the team's previous three matchups against Baltimore.^[19]

The victory was Houston’s first over Baltimore since the 2014 season, snapping a six-game losing streak against the Ravens, and also marked the franchise’s first-ever road win in Baltimore.^[20] The 34-point margin tied a franchise record for the largest road win in team history, equaling their 41–7 victory over the Tennessee Titans in 2011. Additionally, the 44 points scored set a new franchise record for the most points in a road game, surpassing the previous mark of 41, which had been reached three times.^[21]

With the win, Houston improved to 2–3 and headed into their bye week.^[19]

Despite winning, the Texans’ win was offset by the Jaguars’ win over the Titans, which clinched Jacksonville the AFC South and secured the Texans a Wild Card berth for the first time in franchise history.^[29] Later that day, when the Steelers defeated the Ravens, the Texans were scheduled to face Pittsburgh in the Wild Card Round.^[30]

Houston’s defense set franchise records by limiting opponents to 17.3 points and 277.2 yards per game during the season.^[31]

This win also marked the third time the Texans swept the Colts in franchise history, and the first time they did so in consecutive years, as they swept them in 2016 and 2024.

The Texans also moved to 4–0 when J.J. Watt was the color commentator.

The Texans vs. Steelers matchup marked three firsts for Houston. This was the first time they played the Steelers in the playoffs, their first Wild Card Game that was not played on Saturday during the 3:30 PM (CT) slot, and their first Wild Card Game played as the away team. Despite both the Texans and Steelers competing in the AFC, this marked the first time the two teams had played each other more than once in a span of less than three NFL seasons, regular and postseason combined.^[32]

The game started as a low scoring affair with both offenses struggling. C. J. Stroud lost two fumbles despite not losing one during the entire regular season, and throwing an interception in the red zone in the beginning of the third quarter, but the Steelers only got 3 points from those turnovers. In the 4th quarter, the Texans dominated as their defense scoring two touchdowns, one of those being Calen Bullock intercepting Aaron Rodgers and returning it for a 51-yard touchdown, which was Rodgers' last pass of the game. With this win, the Texans won a playoff game on the road for the first time in franchise history, and beat the Steelers on the road for the first time since 2002 (the first-ever matchup between these teams). Houston was also the first team since the 1991 Giants to defeat the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Monday night, officially ending a 23-game win streak for the Steelers.
