Will Houston be able to bounce back from consecutive losing seasons and the controversy at quarterback?
Can Houston bounce back after a controversy filled, abysmal 2021 season? Likely not.
The franchise traded quarterback Deshaun Watson, who still faces 22 active civil lawsuits, to the Browns during the offseason and changed head coaches after going 4–13 under David Culley. He only spent a single season with the team before being fired and replaced by Lovie Smith.
Davis Mills, who threw for 2,664 yards, 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first NFL season, appears to be the likely starter for this season, and although they added wide receiver John Metchie III, CB Derek Stingley Jr and safety Jalen Pitre in the draft, the Texans are projected to have another low-win season, likely an underdog.
