Overall Team DVOA

-17.1% 26th

As we come to the end of the 2021 regular season, the Houston Texans are going to want to move past this season like it never happened. However, it should be noted that despite the Texans pretty much meeting the low expectations we set for them early this season, this team did improve as the season went on. In Weeks 10 through 17, the Texans were ranked higher in total offensive DVOA, offensive passing DVOA, and defensive rushing DVOA. On the year, Houston marginally out-performed our preseason prediction by ranking 28th in total DVOA. There was even some good film for this team to look back on headed into the offseason, picking up wins over the Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Chargers in the back half of their season. While this team is in an undeniable state of flux, there are some positives to glean from a season that seemed doomed before it even began. – Cale Clinton
