  20.  &lt;p&gt;48 hours later...what do we think of the upcoming schedule? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="YqeaXx"&gt;The NFL officially released the regular season (and preseason) schedules for the 2024-25 season this past Wednesday. Strategic leaks dominated the news beforehand, but it all went official Wednesday night. You found plenty of instant hot takes following the release of the schedule, as we are an instant-hot-take society. Yet, using the benefit of time to let the proverbial (or literal) hangover dissipate, here are some (allegedly) more thought-out takes on the upcoming schedule for the &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;ul&gt;
  22. &lt;li id="ezgLFl"&gt;
  23. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prime Time Texans:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; For a team that went the better part of three seasons without any real primetime matchups, they are making up for lost time. From only three “prime time” regular season games since 2021 (and one was the Week 18 flexed to primetime Texans @ &lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt; tilt) to now six (yes, SIX) nationally televised games. The team makes its return to Sunday Night and Monday Night Football for the first times since 2019, and its return to Amazon Prime for the 1st time since October 2022. They will even be a part of history when they get a rematch with the Ravens (at NRG this time) on Christmas Day, courtesy of Netflix. That’s a whole lotta exposure for a team that has mainly lived in the NFL shadows this decade. Hope the squad is up for the challenge.&lt;/li&gt;
  24. &lt;li id="VFegJd"&gt;
  25. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why the National Obsession with Houston vs. NFC North Teams?: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;There isn’t a lot of history between the Texans and NFC North squads. Given that they are in different conferences, their matchups are not all that frequent. Yet, of the Texans’ six nationally televised games, two are against the NFC North on Sunday Nights. Granted, the appeal of a matchup against the &lt;a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/"&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/a&gt; in Week 2 (Williams vs. Stroud) is apparent and the tilt with the up-and-coming Lions offers a potential future &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; type-matchup, but it is just odd that of all the primetime matchups, Houston logs two with the NFC North and zero with division and playoff contending rivals Jacksonville and/or Indianapolis.&lt;/li&gt;
  26. &lt;li id="DQn2eS"&gt;
  27. &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Coming to Houston = Prime Time. Houston Coming to Dallas = Meh?:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; For the third time in four Dallas meetings, their matchup is worthy of primetime (this time on a Monday Night). Interestingly enough, none of the Texans’ treks to Dallas are considered prime-time worthy. Does the Dallas/Houston matchup only matter when it comes to Houston? Ok, there are some other factors to consider, but you might be forgiven for thinking that is only when it matters for a national audience. Still think the NFL missed a golden opportunity to make the battle for Texas a Thanksgiving affair, especially with A&amp;amp;M/UT happening that same weekend. Apparently, the NFL went ratings chasing by letting the Cowboys host the Giants (as that got the biggest Thanksgiving Day ratings of all time in 2022).&lt;/li&gt;
  28. &lt;li id="81rRJC"&gt;
  29. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Nightmare Before Christmas (and on Christmas)...or a Holiday to Remember?: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Speaking of the nationally televised games, two of those matchups will happen within five days of each other. A Saturday matchup at the home of the defending Super Bowl Champion &lt;a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com"&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt; of Taylor Swift followed by the Christmas duel at NRG vs the &lt;a href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/"&gt;Baltimore Ravens&lt;/a&gt; that pounded the Texans by a combined 59-19 last year. This coming after the Texans face off against the ever dangerous &lt;a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/"&gt;Miami Dolphins&lt;/a&gt; at NRG. No small understatement to say that these 10 days might decide the fate of the Texans’ season. Three playoff contenders who may all be jockeying for divisional crowns and/or that first round bye. The depth that Caserio built up in the draft will definitely come into play for this stretch. The odds are somewhat leveled with both the Chiefs and Ravens on the same short schedule, but the team that wins in this stretch may do so not so much by talent, but by endurance and depth.&lt;/li&gt;
  30. &lt;li id="p0Fk9Y"&gt;
  31. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Late season bye:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Coming into that satanic stretch of December games, the Texans will get the benefit of a bye in Week 14. This is the latest that the Texans have ever received a bye. I guess the league gave them a slight breather, but given what they will face in December, that is the least they could do. For reference, the Texans bye weeks the past few seasons fell in the 1st half/midway point of the season. The team is not going to get time to make a lot of in-season adjustments if they struggle any. &lt;/li&gt;
  32. &lt;li id="Hh3G6z"&gt;
  33. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strength and Conditioning Team will Need Their “A” Game This Season:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Given the nature of the schedule, with multiple short weeks slated, to include the aforementioned demonic 10-day December stretch, the Strength and Conditioning team will need its greatest season in that organization’s history. Especially if the Texans plan to make the long run from September to February, the roster needs to be in the best shape possible. The NFL is all about talent, but it is as much about surviving the expected attrition as it is outplaying the opposition.&lt;/li&gt;
  34. &lt;li id="ycloWJ"&gt;
  35. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An OCD-approved schedule:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; If you want a symmetric balance between home and away games for the schedule, we have the line-up for you. The schedule starts: Away, Home, Away, Home, Home, Away, Away, and then ends with home and away games alternating every week. Fun balance, no? Sure, there is the 17-game thing to throw things off, but at least it is a fairly consistent formula.  &lt;/li&gt;
  36. &lt;/ul&gt;
  37. &lt;p id="Rg3EEY"&gt;As we get closer to the start of the season, more will come out about how we expect the team to do, and what we expect the record to be. Meanwhile, if timing and resources are in your favor, start making those plans to attend in person. At the very least, start setting up all of those streaming subscriptions you will need to watch the games in a few months. &lt;/p&gt;

  89.    <title>The Value of Things: Texans schedule by the numbers</title>
  90.    <content type="html">  
  91.  
  92.    &lt;figure&gt;
  93.      &lt;img alt="NFL: NFL Draft" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/RXbGTGDMqdTxVZwEPiycrqyf51E=/0x21:2400x1621/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73351917/usa_today_23114728.0.jpg" /&gt;
  94.        &lt;figcaption&gt;Detroit Free Press-USA TODAY Sports&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  95.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  96.  
  97.  &lt;p&gt;A week by week blow by blow breakdown of the schedule.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="QASkmf"&gt;You’ll have to forgive our indulgences as each of us here at Battle Red Blog go out on our own and do a blow by blow of the coming season. The release of the schedule is one of the biggest events in the NFL calendar and that by itself is just bizarre when you think about it. Goodness knows that no one really knows what any of these teams will look like before the season, but here is another article you can overreact to.&lt;/p&gt;
  98. &lt;p id="lW6oV6"&gt;I did this last year and honestly can’t remember how it turned out. I’m sure I could look in the archives and find it, but that would create just a little bit of embarrassment. Remember, bet only that which you can afford to lose. All of these predictions are meant for entertainment purposes only, but I’m sure a few parlays could be interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
  99. &lt;p id="M6KjFi"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game One: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 28, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  100. &lt;p id="B2vuav"&gt;C.J. Stroud opens the season with three touchdown passes and Joe Mixon adds one on the ground in a fairly convincing fashion. Anthony Richardson scores a late touchdown to make it closer than it appears, but this is before injuring an unfortunate popcorn vendor in the second quarter with an errant pass on the sideline.&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;p id="ttzpxt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Two: Houston Texans 31, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 17 (SNF)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  102. &lt;p id="KUJi8a"&gt;The battle between Caleb Williams and C.J. Stroud is not what it is cracked up to be. Williams struggles against the Texans pass rush. Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter combine for three sacks and that includes a crucial strip sack for a quick six. Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce put the game on ice in the second half.&lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;p id="VM4LBW"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Three: Houston Texans 27, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minnesota Vikings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="MWcGVr"&gt;JJ McCarthy looks very ordinary against the Texans pass rush. Stingley locks down Jefferson and there isn’t much for him in this one. Stroud and the Texans offense coast to victory.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="siz46v"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Four: Houston Texans 31, Glitter Kitties 14&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="fjDphO"&gt;Sunshine has problems running the option and getting away from Will Anderson. Christian Harris has a pick six to put the game on ice in the first half. Dare Ogbunwale kicks a meaningless field goal in the fourth quarter to tweak the Kitty faithful.&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p id="V4lWkZ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Five: Houston Texans 28, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  108. &lt;p id="KVfYFd"&gt;Stroud feeds Diggs early and often as for the former Bill catches two first half scores. Josh Allen runs around for his life and has no one to throw the ball to since his best receiver is now wearing Texans gear.&lt;/p&gt;
  109. &lt;p id="gG3mnW"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Six: Houston Texans 45, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New England Patriots&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  110. &lt;p id="UXTFIc"&gt;Are you kidding me?&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;p id="l2bA5p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Seven: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 31, Houston Texans 28&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="05oJuG"&gt;It’s a shoot out and the first loss of the season for the Texans. The interior of the defensive line has a tough time against Josh Jacobs and the Packers offense. Stroud is good, but just not quite good enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;p id="Z2ULaW"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Eight: Houston Texans 31, Indianapolis Colts 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="HvuYiU"&gt;No injured vendors in this one, but this is because Richardson has already been sidelined with a mysterious injury. Joe Flacco throws two touchdowns and three picks. Mixon has his first multiple touchdown effort in a Texans uniform.&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="G3OuBY"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Nine: Houston Texans 35, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Jets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 13 (TNF)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;p id="hvBMue"&gt;Aaron Rodgers is on a leave of absence as he strives to be RFK Jr.’s running mate. He gets sacked by a reporter after questioning his two opponents and their knowledge of U.S. history. The Jets give up on running out a quarterback and just run the single wing with Breece Hall scoring two late touchdowns.&lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="72hp87"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Ten: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.prideofdetroit.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detroit Lions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 34, Houston Texans 21 (SNF)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  118. &lt;p id="qAnH35"&gt;It’s the worst game of the season for the Texans. Jared Goff goes off for four touchdowns against a beleaguered secondary. Stroud throws two late scores to make the game look better than it could have been.&lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="luw9L6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Eleven: Houston Texans 35, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 31 (MNF)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="6xUUvN"&gt;Franchise quarterback Dak Prescott throws three touchdowns and a key pick six in the fourth quarter, He does just enough to lose. It’s business as usual for the Texans offense as they light up the Cowboys for 300 plus yards in the air.&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;p id="Ehb4cu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Twelve: Houston Texans 28, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 13&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  122. &lt;p id="ovwpg3"&gt;Titans fans are outraged when DeMeco Ryans wears a possum cap pregame and thus demeans Nashville culture. Stroud tweaks Will Levis by tossing him a jar of Blue Plate mayonnaise in their postgame meeting. &lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p id="cgXzpr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Thirteen: Houston Texans 41, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jacksonville Jaguars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 28&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  124. &lt;p id="GywIZC"&gt;It’s a dominating performance on defense until the fourth quarter. Sunshine connects on two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk in the fourth quarter to make this one closer than the majority of the game would show.&lt;/p&gt;
  125. &lt;p id="CxJYgw"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Fourteen: Houston Texans 34, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miami Dolphins&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 31&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  126. &lt;p id="lSZ4Tv"&gt;Tua is concussed in the early going leaving Tyreek Hill without a reliable quarterback. Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter combine for four sacks, but the back end is torched on a couple of late touchdowns.&lt;/p&gt;
  127. &lt;p id="hGjmjt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Fifteen: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 35, Houston Texans 34&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  128. &lt;p id="aWs5JH"&gt;it is one of those ESPN Classic instant classics as Stroud and Mahomes trade touchdowns back and forth. The Hawaiian misses an extra point in the second quarter and that is the difference in the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  129. &lt;p id="m8StIb"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Sixteen: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Ravens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 34, Houston Texans 28 (TNF)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  130. &lt;p id="WcW3hm"&gt;Stroud and company are better in this one than they were in the past, but the ghost of Derrick Henry torches the Texans defense for 150 yards. Having clinched the AFC South, the Texans don’t need this one as much as the Ravens.&lt;/p&gt;
  131. &lt;p id="glRKNj"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game Seventeen: Houston Texans 34, Tennessee Titans 10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  132. &lt;p id="03kuiP"&gt;Will Levis is hospitalized from food poisoning. His Hellmann's jar was three years out of date and he violently vomits repeatedly in the locker room after his third cup of coffee. Mason Rudolph is no match for the Texans pass rush.&lt;/p&gt;
  133. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="c1hcwg"&gt;
  134. &lt;p id="RykMbt"&gt;There you have it. The Texans will finish the season 13-4 and gain home field advantage throughout the playoffs. If these predictions seem silly just remember they are no more silly than anyone else’s predictions at this point.&lt;/p&gt;

  154.  &lt;p&gt;The schedule is out, the predictions are in&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="6pLV7k"&gt;The NFL &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/2024/5/15/24157747/the-official-2024-25-houston-texans-schedule-finally"&gt;announced the 2024 schedule&lt;/a&gt; yesterday complete with an opening matchup for your &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt; vs the &lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt;. The following week sees the Texans home opener when the &lt;a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/"&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/a&gt; come to town. &lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;div id="dhmHyO"&gt;
  156. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  157. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;That’s a whole lotta Texans football ‼️ &lt;a href="https://t.co/hJ55FN8yP7"&gt;pic.twitter.com/hJ55FN8yP7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1790895498997461175?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 16, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  160.  
  161. &lt;/div&gt;
  162. &lt;p id="4m9ymI"&gt;It does seem a little odd that H-Town plays ChiTown twice in a month and a half, with the franchises colliding in the Hall of Fame game on August 1st prior to their week 2 matchup. &lt;/p&gt;
  163. &lt;p id="PaG4N7"&gt;However the first real test of the 2024 Texans won’t happen until week 5 when the &lt;a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/"&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/a&gt; come to town. &lt;/p&gt;
  164. &lt;p id="ip4QAC"&gt;Week 8 brings the second title against the Baby Horses, giving Demeco Ryans the chance to put away the division rival before the halfway point of the season. &lt;/p&gt;
  165. &lt;p id="6bdh2A"&gt;Week 11’s Monday Night Football game takes Houston on the road to the Jerrydome where they’ll battle the &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; for the best football team in Texas crown. Who needs a Red River Rivalry when you can watch the Cowboys choke? &lt;/p&gt;
  166. &lt;div id="ifPxQk"&gt;
  167. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  168. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;All eyes on us   &lt;a href="https://t.co/tt6MG9a1FT"&gt;pic.twitter.com/tt6MG9a1FT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1790897990569197855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 16, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  171.  
  172. &lt;/div&gt;
  173. &lt;p id="KWtMTc"&gt;Week 12 brings the BESFs to town, with the week 18 matchup against them sitting in the flex-zone, pending the late season playoff scenarios. &lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p id="sKqetw"&gt;On the surface, this seems like the Texans have a pretty good shot at grabbing a top seed in the AFC post-season. But, any given Sunday... &lt;/p&gt;
  175. &lt;p id="sWeEC2"&gt;With all that said, how do you think the 2024 Texans will do? &lt;/p&gt;
  176. &lt;div id="pdLdFt"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="poll:12334450"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  177. &lt;p id="boVXZd"&gt;And, what a Christmas game the schedule makers are giving fans this year: the &lt;a href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/"&gt;Baltimore Ravens&lt;/a&gt; travel to NRG to battle the Texans in what will likely have MAJOR playoff implications. &lt;/p&gt;

  243.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  244.  
  245.  &lt;p&gt;How many times will we get to see the Texans in prime time?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="fGxMxg"&gt;News about the NFL in the offseason understandably comes at an ultra-slow trickle. After the combine and the draft, the only thing left to look forward to is the release of the NFL schedule. Like the combine and the draft which preceded it, the official schedule release has become a date that millions of football-starved people around the world circle on the calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
  246. &lt;p id="N6ehD1"&gt;We tease ourselves scouting for schedule rumors and drive ourselves mad trying to authenticate which dates are correct and which ones are merely wishful thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
  247. &lt;p id="05hU01"&gt;As of 7 pm CDT, we no longer have to speculate or wait for schedule leaks. Now we have the &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt;’ complete schedule and we can speculate on something else entirely: how many wins they’ll rack up next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  248. &lt;p id="4Mu6ol"&gt;And without any more ado, here is the Texans complete schedule, as advertised.&lt;/p&gt;
  249. &lt;div id="WY7Fy1"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="table:12334215"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  250. &lt;p id="vjJSMO"&gt;Of course, you know we couldn’t leave this alone without adding the Texans’ official schedule video. Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;
  251. &lt;div id="gmE64L"&gt;
  252. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  253. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Our schedule release ASMR   &lt;a href="https://t.co/4vSwVBsnXU"&gt;pic.twitter.com/4vSwVBsnXU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1790895658435572135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 16, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  258. &lt;p id="pr87Xx"&gt;So how do you think the Texans fare this season? Which games are you going to? What will their record be at the end of the season? Let us know!&lt;/p&gt;

  279.  &lt;p&gt;Here’s what we’ve heard might be happening, but nothing is confirmed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="7yvssT"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt; have been remarkable good at keeping their schedule under their hats so far this season. With drips and drabs of other teams’ schedules leaking out, we’ve barely heard a peep about the Texans. This comes as something of a shock to myself personally given all the hype that has been surrounding the team since the end of last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;p id="eGVWko"&gt;But we’ll do our best to keep track of any rumors we hear and post them here for you so you don’t have to go searching for them yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
  281. &lt;p id="D7dZMg"&gt;I want to be clear though that what’s posted below are merely RUMORS and are not yet confirmed. If there are any confirmations or rumors we believe to be truly credible, we will specify. Seeing as I’ve only seen one truly credible rumor about the Texans’ Christmas game, I can only hope that the Texans waited until hours before the actual schedule release, due to happen today at 7 pm CDT, before they started letting any rumors bubble to the surface.&lt;/p&gt;
  282. &lt;p id="FLa6w0"&gt;We will keep you posted, stay tuned!&lt;/p&gt;
  283. &lt;p id="NEYFeW"&gt;From Jordan Schultz, I hope y’all aren’t doing anything on Christmas because...&lt;/p&gt;
