Houston Texans history
Houston lost the Oilers after 1996, when that club left for Nashville and later became the Titans. A replacement franchise was created in 1999, and the Texans took the field as an expansion team in 2002, which makes them the youngest club in the league. The first decade was rough.
Things turned in 2011 with a first division title and first playoff spot. More AFC South crowns came in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2023 and 2024. For years Houston had never won a playoff road game, a streak that ended with a 30-6 win at Pittsburgh in the 2025 Wild Card round. Bob McNair owned the team until his death in 2018, and his son Cal now leads it.
