Texans aim for the third AFC South title

  • The Texans are aiming for the third AFC South title in a row.
  • The Colts signed Daniel Jones for team revival.
  • The Jaguars and Titans experienced significant changes in their roster.

In the 2025 season, the Houston Texans will attempt to win the third consecutive AFC South title under the leadership of quarterback C.J. Stroud and trainer Demeco Ryans. This achievement has not been accomplished by any team since Peyton MANNING's era, when the Indianapolis Colts dominated the division.

The Texans became AFC South champions in 2023 and 2024, finishing the seasons with a record of 10-7. However, the team has faced problems with quarterback protection. Stroud recorded 52 sacks, and his interception rate increased to 12 in the last minute of the season. This year, the team changed the offensive coordinator, naming Nik Kaehl to improve the offensive play.

The Indianapolis Colts, who have not made the playoffs in the last four seasons, are also undergoing changes. The team signed new quarterback Daniel Jones, who came from the New York Giants, to try to revive his career. Jones replaces Entoni Richardson, who could not provide stability on the field.

Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars underwent a serious restructuring, firing trainer Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke. In their places, they appointed Liam Cohen and James Gladstone. The Jaguars are trying to improve results that were disappointing in the previous season.

In addition, the Tennessee Titans will start with a new quarterback Kemo Wardom, who was the first pick in the 2025 draft. This change is part of the team's revival after a disappointing season.

Predictions for the 2025 season

Predicted results for the AFC South teams:
1. Houston Texans: 10-7
2. Indianapolis Colts: 8-9
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: 8-9
4. Tennessee Titans: 6-11.
