The Rise of the Houston Texans

SP

25 Nov, 2024

The Houston Texans, led by head coach DeMeco Ryans, are having an exciting 2024 NFL season, showcasing a mix of resilience and emerging talent. After 12 games, the team holds a 7-5 record, placing them at the top of the AFC South standings. This success marks a notable improvement, with quarterback C.J. Stroud leading the offense and key contributions from players like Nico Collins and rookie standout Will Anderson Jr. on defense.

Recently, the Texans faced the Tennessee Titans and narrowly lost 32-27, despite setting a franchise record with seven first-half sacks and a record-breaking 12th 50-yard field goal by kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn. While the loss was a setback, the Texans remain in contention for a playoff berth as they prepare for upcoming games, including a divisional clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars

.

The team has shown promise under Ryans, with a strong defensive foundation and dynamic offensive plays. Fans remain optimistic about their chances as they aim to solidify their position in the postseason
