Texans 2025 schedule breakdown, game-by-game predictions, key matchups, and why this is the year Houston makes a serious AFC run.

The NFL has released the Houston Texans' 2025 schedule, laying out an exciting and challenging season ahead. From the season opener at the Los Angeles Rams to key primetime matchups against the Buccaneers, Seahawks, Bills, and Chiefs, fans have plenty to look forward to. The Texans’ offensive line will face early tests, and crucial games throughout the year could shape their playoff hopes. Here’s a full look at the schedule and the biggest games to watch.

The Houston Texans doubled down on chemistry in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Iowa State teammates Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Higgins, a big-bodied possession receiver, and Noel, an explosive slot threat, bring proven production and a strong on-field connection. With the WR depth chart wide open behind Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, the Cyclone duo has a real shot to make early noise in Houston — together, just like they did in college.

Texans fans: stay patient. Caserio’s sweet spot is Day 2. Expect smart aggression where the price to move is far more manageable.

As the 2025 NFL Draft begins, the Texans stand at a pivotal moment in their journey to greatness. With key needs along the offensive line and at wide receiver, GM Nick Caserio has a prime chance to elevate this team into true Super Bowl contention. Whether trading up for a talent like Kelvin Banks Jr. or finding value at Pick 25, every decision matters. Houston’s foundation is set—now it’s time to build something special.

The Texans must draft with urgency—targeting impact players at key needs—while CJ Stroud’s rookie contract window is still open.

Deep dive into the Texans' pre-draft meetings over the past 2 years reveals patterns, priorities, and what to expect from Caserio in 2025.
