As the defending AFC South champions, the Houston Texans are going to have a first-place schedule in 2025. That means they’ll face three other teams in the AFC that also won their divisions last season, making the path back to the playoffs still challenging for C.J. Stroud and Co.
In addition to their three AFC South rivals, the Texans will also face the AFC West, NFC West and three first-place teams: the Bills, Buccaneers and Ravens. There will also be a lot of traveling, with trips to Baltimore, Los Angeles twice, Nashville, Jacksonville, Seattle and Indianapolis all on the docket in 2025.
