Texans Reflect on Divisional Round Loss, Set Sights on Key Offseason Improvements

Houston's 2024 playoff exit underscores the need for offensive line upgrades, receiver depth, and home-field advantage in 2025.

The Houston Texans fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-14 in the AFC Divisional Round, marking their second consecutive playoff exit at this stage.
Defensive standout Will Anderson emphasized the importance of securing home-field advantage in 2025 and avoiding losses to lower-performing teams like the Titans and Jets.
Key injuries, including season-ending setbacks for Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, and others, hampered the Texans' 2024 season and playoff run.
Houston's offensive line struggles were highlighted in the loss, with quarterback C.J. Stroud sacked eight times, prompting a focus on interior line upgrades in the offseason.
Wide receiver depth and defensive tackle contracts are also top priorities, as the Texans prepare for the NFL Draft and free agency with limited cap space.
