Texans Favored for Third Straight AFC South Title

News summary

The Houston Texans enter the 2025 NFL season as favorites to win their third consecutive AFC South title, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud and a pass-rushing duo of Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr., ranked as the NFL's second-best edge tandem. Concerns persist about the offensive line, which allowed 54 sacks last season, and the durability of veteran running backs Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb. The Texans' draft earned a B+ grade, with wide receiver Jayden Higgins and offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery expected to contribute immediately, though critics argue more offensive line help was needed. Defensive depth has been added through Denico Autry and Sheldon Rankins, helping the unit be regarded as one of the league's best. Within the division, the Jaguars are counting on edge rushers Josh Allen and Travon Walker, while the Browns look to rookie linebacker Carson Schwesinger. The Texans' success will likely depend on offensive line improvement, the health of their running backs, and continued defensive strength.
