When the Falcons kick off against the Houston Texans in Week 5 this coming Sunday, it will be just the sixth ever such instance of these franchises coming to blows, which isn’t entirely shocking given that they are in separate conferences as well as the fact that the Texans just became a franchise in 2002.
In the five matchups thus far, Houston holds the slightest 3-2 edge, with there being no such instance of one team winning two games in a row over the other. The Texans are the team that Atlanta has faced the fewest amount of times among anybody in the NFL, as they are for many other NFC opponents as well.
