Houston Texans

Established in 2002, the Houston Texans are the league’s youngest expansion team and also the only NFL team that has never played in a conference championship game so it goes without saying they’ve never made it to the Super Bowl.

To say the team has struggled is fair but they have shown signs of improvement with a total of five division titles that have all come since 2011. This year the Texans will have their sights set not only on making the postseason for the sixth time in nine years but making an even deeper playoff run.

In this team guide, we’ll examine every aspect of the Texans to help you not only learn about the franchise but hopefully make a few more winning bets on them this season, too.

Follow how the Houston Texans are doing in the AFC South.
