And there you have it! The first step to the 2025 season (and, with luck, a Super Bowl championship) is underway. And four, count em’ FOUR, primetime games! If their media presence is any indication, the Houston Texans are in their Super Bowl window, and the pressure of this schedule will either turn them into a diamond or into a piece of coal.
Taking a closer look, it appears that the Texans, in addition to their standard six divisional games, will play against all AFC West teams, NFC West teams, and then fill in the final three spots on the calendar with playoff opponents: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills. It’s a hard pill swallowing two very challenging divisions in the AFC and NFC West, but the good news is gets a crucial break with their Week 6 bye, and a 10-day break in between Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills and the following game against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 30. It’s a big schedule alright, but I think these four games in particular will define the season: Week 2 vs. Buccaneers, Week 9 vs. Broncos, Week 17 @ Chargers, Week 18 vs. Colts.
What do you think of the schedule, though? Is this the perfect path towards the Super Bowl that you were hoping for, a gauntlet of monstrous proportions, or somewhere in between? Let us know down in the comments below!
GO TEXANS!!!!
