Texans Defy Odds to Reach Playoffs After 0-3 Start
The Texans set a franchise record with their third consecutive postseason appearance, powered by an elite defense and rookie receivers in an eight-game winning streak.
- On Saturday, the Houston Texans clinched a playoff spot after opening the season 0-3, becoming the fifth team since 1990 and the first franchise to do it twice with an 11-5 record.
- On Nov. 9, the Texans were 3-5 and trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars by 19 points entering the fourth quarter, then rallied for a 36-29 victory that Coach DeMeco Ryans called the turning point.
- Stroud opened Saturday's game with a 75-yard TD to rookie Jayden Higgins and a 40-yard TD to rookie Jaylin Noel, earning his 27th win to pass Peyton Manning.
- The Texans need a victory over the Indianapolis Colts and a Jacksonville Jaguars loss to the Tennessee Titans Sunday to clinch the AFC South and mark Houston's third straight playoff trip, a franchise record.
- The Texans' defense leads the NFL in points and yards allowed per game, with five sacks of Justin Herbert Saturday, their third game with at least five sacks.
