Texans Offense Sputters in Week 1 Loss to Rams

On September 9, 2025, the Houston Texans faced off against the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener, but were unable to find the end zone, losing the game 14-9. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, in his second NFL season, completed 70.4% of his passes for 188 yards, but threw one interception and failed to record a single passing touchdown.

The Texans' defense kept them in the game, but the offense struggled to capitalize. Schwab of Yahoo Sports noted that Stroud's performance was one of the "losers" of Week 1, as the Texans' offensive line issues from last season continued to hamper the passing game. Despite a solid running game and a strong defensive effort, the Texans were unable to overcome their offensive line woes, which could be a season-long problem for the team.

The Texans will look to bounce back in Week 2 when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. If the offensive line and Stroud can find more success against the Buccaneers' defense, the Texans may be able to get their season back on track. However, if the offensive struggles continue, it could be a long year for the Texans' offense.
