If the analytics and models are to be believed, then get ready for another four-win campaign from the Houston Texans in 2022.
According to Cynthia Frelund from NFL.com, the Texans are projected to win 4.3 games, which is 0.2 points below what some people are expecting in 2022.
What led to the Texans’ four-win seasons the past two years were manifold. In 2020, Houston had exemplary quarterback play as their 16-game starter won the NFL passing title. However, the Texans were atrocious against the pass and the run — and they had trouble running the ball themselves. If not for the quarterback’s ability to keep Houston in close games, they wouldn’t have had a shot. Houston lost eight games that season by eight or fewer points.
