The Texans face a winning schedule in 2024.
This fall, Houston plays seven teams who went to the playoffs in 2023. The combined winning percentage of all Texans' opponents last regular season was .538.
The NFL released it's 2024 schedule on Wednesday.
At NRG Stadium this autumn, Houston hosts eight games, and the visitors went a combined 78-58 (.574). Only a pair of squads --the Titans and Bears--had losing records overall last season, and they're also the only two visiting teams that didn't sport .500 or better records on the road in 2023.
Combined, the eight NRG Stadium visitors went 34-32 on the road last fall.
Three of the Texans' final four home games in 2024 will be against 2023 playoff squads.
