Houston Texans Face AFC South Challenge in 2026 NFL Season

NFL 2026: Houston's first hurdle on way to Super Bowl goal? Taking the AFC South title back

The Houston Texans are the only NFL team never to play in a conference championship game and one of only four still waiting for the first Super Bowl berth. The Texans have lost in the AFC divisional round each of the past three years and are 0-7 in that round all time. “That’s something that we’re striving for, something that’s never been done in the city,” Houston All-Pro defensive end Will Anderson Jr. said.
