How are the Houston Texans performing in 2023?

Most Houston Texans stars might be young, but they're not playing so. The Texans entered the season in full rebuild mode, evidenced by their aggression in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, with C. J. Stroud at center, Texans fans can dream again.

The Houston Texans have been great in 2023 and are on a respectable 7-6 record heading into Week 15. The Texans have recorded wins over postseason hopefuls like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos.

They are well ahead of schedule in their rebuild and look like they have one of the most promising shot callers in recent memory for the long haul. It's a great time to be a Houston Texans fan in 2023, and a postseason run doesn't look like a pipe dream anymore.
