At the start of the season, many NFL experts and fans regarded the Texans as potential Super Bowl contenders. They were expected to be led by rising star quarterback CJ Stroud, who was touted as a candidate for the MVP award. However, injuries have severely hampered their season, with key players like Tank Dell and Nic Collins sidelined for extended periods. Such setbacks have shifted the national narrative around the Texans.

However, a cloud of disappointment looms over them, as the reality of their current performance often falls short of the lofty expectations set in the preseason.
