The Houston Texans are on the brink of something special in 2024. Historically, the franchise has seen more downs than ups, but this year feels different. It might just be their best season yet.
Last year, the Texans surprised everyone. They transformed from a three-win team in 2022 to playoff contenders with a rookie head coach, rookie offensive coordinator, and rookie quarterback. Not only did they win their first playoff game since 2019, but they also put up a strong fight against the Baltimore Ravens, a team many thought could go all the way.
This offseason, the Texans didn’t hold back. They attacked free agency and the NFL draft with relentless energy, bringing in players to make them a serious threat in the AFC. As of now, the Texans look like one of the few teams that can challenge the Kansas City Chiefs.
The players are aware of what’s at stake this season and are confident in their potential. Veteran defensive back Desmond King shared his excitement and optimism during his youth camp. “I’ve seen the evolution of the team and the organization.
Knowing my capability and what I can bring, why not be here with Houston? We’re an up-and-coming team, and we’re here to stay,” King said, according to Aaron Wilson of KCPR2.
King emphasized the hard work and dedication happening behind the scenes. “We have the noise and the hype, but what matters is what we do on the field. We put in the blood, sweat, and tears every day. We know what we have, and we’ve got to believe in it.”
The Texans are set up for sustained success. With C.J. Stroud still on his rookie contract and already showing top-five potential, the future looks bright. They’ve also secured cornerstone players and have one of the best young head coaches in DeMeco Ryans, who has the team fully bought into his vision and culture.
If they continue on this trajectory, the Texans might not just be a one-season wonder. They could become a powerhouse in the AFC for years to come.
