Texans find out opponents for 2017 regular season
In less than two weeks the Texans will face one of three teams in the first round of the 2016-17 playoffs. This week they also found out who they will have to beat in the regular season for a try at the playoffs in the 2017-18 season.
Based on the NFL's scheduling formula, the Texans know all but one of their opponents for the 2017 regular season.
By finishing first in the AFC South this season they will face the other three AFC divisional champions. They also will face every team from the AFC North and the NFC West.
Houston's home opponents next season are Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Arizona, San Francisco and the AFC West champion (Oakland or Kansas City).
