The Houston Texans have a high ceiling going into the season.
High Expectations for the Texans
Bleacher Report writer Maurice Moton believes the Texans will go 12-5 and earn the No. 1 seed for the AFC postseason.
Talent and Team Dynamics
"The Texans won't sneak up on anyone this year. Yet they're still primed to become a juggernaut in the AFC with 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud. He has a new playmaker in Stefon Diggs who will join Nico Collins and Tank Dell to form a high-level receiver trio. Joe Mixon can balance the offense on the ground. Houston could field a top-10 defense with the addition of four-time Pro Bowl edge-rusher Danielle Hunter. The Texans have no glaring weaknesses. They will be the AFC's No. 1 seed," Moton writes.
Challenging Competition
The Texans will face tough competition from the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, who have been playoff powerhouses.
Time for Execution
The Texans have made crucial upgrades to compete at the highest level of the NFL, and it's time for the team to perform.
