The Texans’ upcoming schedule appears promising, with six of their final eight games pitted against teams holding records of .500 or worse. This lighter schedule could be a golden opportunity for Houston to solidify their position in the division and make a strong push for the playoffs.

Adding to the excitement is the buzz around CJ Stroud, who has emerged as a clear MVP candidate. His performance has been nothing short of stellar, raising the bar for quarterbacks across the league.
