The 2025 season is the Houston Texans' 24th in the National Football League (NFL), their fifth under general manager Nick Caserio and their third under head coach DeMeco Ryans. The Texans are looking to defend their two-time AFC South title, improve on their 10–7 record the previous two seasons, and make the playoffs for the third straight year for the first time in franchise history. For the first time since 2009, Jon Weeks was not on the team's roster, as he signed with the San Francisco 49ers.
This season began with a dissapointing 0–3 start for the first time since the 2020 season and a 3–5 record by Week 9. Despite this, the Texans recorded a 7-game win streak after a win over the Las Vegas Raiders, which resulted in the Texans matching their win total from the previous two seasons. This is also their first winning record in a season following two playoff appearances (2–14 in 2013, 4–12 in 2017, 4–12 in 2020).

Additionally, the 44 points scored set a new franchise record for the most points in a road game, surpassing the previous mark of 41, which had been reached three times.[20]
