American Football Conference · AFC South
The Houston Texans were founded in 1999 and play their home games at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Owned by Cal McNair, the franchise is led by general manager Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans, with Nick Caley serving as offensive coordinator. The Texans have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years. After a rough stretch that included 4–12, 4–13, and 3–13–1 records from 2020 through 2022, the team has surged back to playoff contention with consecutive 10–7 seasons in 2023 and 2024, followed by a 12–5 campaign in 2025. The current roster features quarterback C.J. Stroud, receiver Nico Collins, pass rusher Will Anderson Jr., cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., and defensive end Danielle Hunter among its notable players.
