Houston Texans Season Preview

The Houston Texans went into their bye week with a 4-2 record and a promising start to the 2010 season, including a win against the Indianapolis Colts. After the bye week, Houston proceeded to crumble and lose 8 of their final 10 games, ending with a dismal 6-10 record. They finished 3rd in the AFC South and labeled the season as a disappointment. After a promising 2009 season saw Houston go 9-7, expectations were high, and 2010 was a massive step in the wrong direction for the Texans.

The 2011 projections anticipate the Texans will return to their form of 2 seasons ago and finish 2nd in the AFC South. Houston is projected to have a 18% chance of winning the division and a 25% chance of making the playoffs.

Despite the nightmarish finish to last season, Houston’s offensive weapons were hardly impotent. Quarterback Matt Schaub threw for 4,370 yards, 24 touchdowns, and finished the season with a respectable 12 interceptions. Running back Arian Foster rushed for 1,616 yards, won the rushing title, and scored 16 rushing touchdowns. Star wide-receiver Andre Johnson put together his 3rd straight 1,000 receiving yards season and tabbed 8 receiving touchdowns. Unfortunately, Houston’s defense was ranked 30th in the NFL for yards allowed and 28th for points allowed. The defense needs to improve for the Texans to qualify for the post season and compete in the playoffs.

Projected Record: 7-9
Projected Division Finish: 2nd
Probability of Winning Division: 18%
Probability of Making Playoffs: 25%
