The Texans will get their first real taste of football this season in a preseason matchup with the Vikings this Saturday.
The Texans have undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two seasons, and after punching their ticket to the playoffs once again in 2024, they now find themselves primed to launch what could be a breakout campaign in 2025.
With their roster largely solidified, the Texans are no longer a team on the rise, they're a team built to win now. Fresh off a postseason victory last year, Houston enters the new season with heightened ambitions and one of the NFL’s most compelling young cores. This offseason, the front office was anything but idle.
On the other sideline, the Vikings quietly exceeded expectations in 2024, reaching the playoffs and sparking hope among their fan base. Although they exited the postseason early, the progress they made was undeniable. That momentum carried into the offseason, though not without some significant changes.
