The Houston Texans have won eight straight, but they do have some offensive concerns that are actually fixable as they clinched a playoff berth on Saturday.

The Houston Texans are officially in the playoffs. They got there with a formula that's become tried and true for them this season: Just enough offense and their defense carrying them to victory. Houston got off to a fast start Saturday and then held off the Los Angeles Chargers 20-16 at SoFi Stadium for its eighth straight win to lock up an AFC wild-card spot.

It’s been over one month since the inaugural Houston Texans Mock Draft for the 2026 class, and things are starting to shape up around the league. The Texans are jockeying for position in the AFC playoff race. Meanwhile, The Washington Commanders, who the Texans have their 2nd and 4th round picks, have fallen to a 4-12 record.

Truth is, it was also a test of just how deep the Texans' roster was, so Ryans once again pinpointed backup quarterback Davis Mills as being the catalyst for the revival which started when he came from behind to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier on in the campaign.
