While the Texans mainly struggled in the 2000s, the franchise experienced an upturn during the 2010s. They first found success in the 2011 season, winning their first division championship and clinching their first playoff berth. [5] [6] The team won their first playoff game that same year, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 31–10. [7] The Texans have gone on to win six more AFC South division championships in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2023. They are the only franchise never to have won a road playoff game and the only one never to have appeared in a conference championship game. [8] They are also one of four franchises never to have appeared in a Super Bowl, alongside the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, and Jacksonville Jaguars. [9] In the Texans' 22-year history, they have an overall regular season record of 142 wins, 195 losses, and 1 tie, plus an overall postseason record of 5 wins and 7 losses. The team currently has eight winning seasons, two 8–8 seasons, and eleven losing seasons.
