2025 Houston Texans season

The 2025 season was the Houston Texans' 24th in the National Football League (NFL), their fifth under general manager Nick Caserio and their third under head coachDeMeco Ryans. The Texans improved on their 10–7 record from previous two seasons after a win against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17, making the playoffs for the third consecutive season for the first time in franchise history. This is the first time in Texans history that they made the playoffs as a Wild Card team as they failed to hold their AFC South title after the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. For the first time since 2009, Jon Weeks was not on the team's roster, as he signed with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Texans began the season with a 0–3 record for the first time since the 2020 season and stood at 3–5 through Week 9. The team later rebounded with a nine-game winning streak following a victory over the Indianapolis Colts, finishing the regular season with a 12–5 record and surpassing their combined win total from the previous two seasons. Houston reached the playoffs for the second time in franchise history after starting 0–3, having previously done so in 2018, and became the first NFL team to accomplish the feat multiple times. They entered the playoffs the No. 5 seed in the AFC.

The Texans recorded their first road postseason victory with a 30–6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round, but the team's season would end when they were defeated by the New England Patriots by a final score of 28–16 in the Divisional Round (highlighted by quarterback CJ Stroud throwing 4 interceptions in the first half), preventing them from making their first AFC Championship Game appearance in franchise history.

The Houston Texans drew an average home attendance of 70,782, the 11th-highest of all NFL teams.
