The Houston Texans’ division, the AFC South, has ranked as one of the worst divisions in the NFL at least since Andrew Luck retired.
Whether it has been the hapless Tennessee Titans struggling to qualify for the playoffs from 2008-17, or the Jacksonville Jaguars only qualifying once since 2008, the AFC South has had a balance of two strong teams — typically the Texans and the Indianapolis Colts — and two putrid teams, the Jaguars and Titans.
Since 2019, the balance of power has shifted to where the Texans are among the basement dwellers, but the Jaguars are still the first on the proverbial playoff couch every year. In that span the Titans have qualified for the postseason for three straight years, including division championships the past two seasons.
