A recap on The Houston Texans 2024 Season
The Houston Texans had a disappointing 3 wins, 13 losses, and 1 tie in the 2022 NFL season. The Texans have also been known as one of the worst teams in the NFL since their inauguration season 2002. In those 20 years, they went 152-202-1. The Texans are also 1 of 4 teams to never make it to the Superbowl (Browns, Lions, Texans, Jaguars). After their low season in 2022, they had the number 2 draft pick in 2023, where they chose CJ Stroud; the rest is history.
The Houston Texans’ turnaround in the 2023-24 NFL season is a textbook example of how strategic drafting and smart acquisitions can revitalize a franchise. The centerpiece of this transformation was drafting CJ Stroud, a decision that provided immediate dividends. Stroud brought a dynamic presence to the quarterback position, demonstrating poise and accuracy that belied his rookie status. His ability to read defenses and execute under pressure brought a new dimension to the Texans’ offense, energizing the team and its fanbase.
Beyond Stroud, the Texans made several critical acquisitions that strengthened both sides of the ball. The addition of experienced defensive players shored up a previously porous defense, turning it into a more formidable unit capable of holding leads that the offense established. On offense, integrating skilled position players, particularly in the wide receiver and tight end groups, gave Stroud reliable options and diversified the team’s attack.
The management’s focus on building a balanced team around a core of young, talented players like Stroud paid off. The Texans improved their win-loss record and competed fiercely in every game, showing signs of a promising future. These strategic moves have set a solid foundation for the team, suggesting that the Texans will be a force to reckon with in the coming seasons. The 2023-24 season may well be remembered as the turning point that heralded a new era of success for the franchise.
Next up, Will the Houston Texans have what it takes to succeed going forward, or was this season a one-hit wonder?
