Commentary: The Houston Texans are entering the 2024 season with high expectations after a solid 10-7 campaign last year. Under the leadership of head coach DeMeco Ryans, who had a strong debut season, and the impressive rookie season of quarterback C.J. Stroud, the Texans have positioned themselves as serious contenders in the AFC.
This offseason, the Texans made significant moves to strengthen their roster, particularly on offense, with the addition of Stefon Diggs, a premier wide receiver who brings explosive playmaking ability to the passing game. The acquisition of Joe Mixon adds a dynamic presence in the backfield, giving Stroud more options and balance on offense. On defense, the Texans have bolstered their pass rush with Danielle Hunter, a proven sack artist, while rookie cornerback Kammari Lassiter adds fresh talent to the secondary.
With an already strong defense, particularly against the run, and a fast-paced offense, the Texans have all the pieces in place to make a deep playoff run. They are not just aiming for another winning season; they are poised to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
