The Houston Texans were the surprise team of the season last year thanks to the emergence of rookies C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. and an excellent job by rookie head coach and offensive coꦕord🍨inator DeMeco Ryans and Bobby Slowik. With all four of those names still in the fold, how will the Texans fare this season?

Texans Primetime Games in 2024
C.J. Stroud and Houston will play in primetime or stand-alone spots five times this season. Their primetime tour begins in Week 2 when they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football. Last year’s breakout rookie quarterback will take on this year’s presumptive breakout quarterback, Caleb Williams.
In Week 9 on Halloween night, the Texans will head to the 🎶Meadowlands to take on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets before taking on the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night 𒉰Football the following Sunday. The very next week, the Texans will take on the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington on Monday Night Football, marking three consecutive weeks with the Texans on the center stage of the football world.
Houston will wrap up its primetime tour this season with a Week 17 meeting with the Ravens on Christmas Day, a rematch of their divisional round contest in January. Baltimore’s defense proved too much for the Texans despite them blowing the Browns out the week prior. Is the addition of Stefon Diggs and a healthy Tank Dell enough to push the Texans past the Ravens this time around?
Texans 2024 Record Prediction
The Texans won the AFC South last se𝔍ason and while the rest of the division did some things to improve, so did Houston, acquiring wide receiver Stefon Diggs to catch passes from C.J. Stroud this season. They also spent biﷺg on their pass rush in free agency.
Texans Record Prediction: 11-6, 1st in AFC South
