Why the Houston Texans are the worst franchise in the NFL

Mike Bullock of Battle Red Blog argues that the Houston Texans represent the worst franchise in the NFL based purely on their historical success rate. Despite high preseason expectations, Houston opened their campaign at 2-5 under head coach DeMeco Ryans. Bullock points out that among all active NFL teams, the Texans remain the only franchise to have never reached a conference championship game.

Bullock criticizes recent scheme adjustments under defensive coordinator Matt Burke and offensive coordinator Nick Caley, while also pointing to offensive line struggles. Although other franchises hold lower overall win percentages, the writer asserts that Houston's lack of any conference title game appearances or Super Bowl berths cements their position as the least successful organization in the league.
