The 2021 season was the Houston Texans ' 20th season in the National Football League (NFL), and their first and only under head coach David Culley . For the first time since 2011 , defensive end J. J. Watt was not on the roster, as he had signed with the Arizona Cardinals on March 5, 2021, reuniting him with former Texans teammate DeAndre Hopkins , who was traded to the Cardinals the season prior. It also was the first time since 2014 without former head coach Bill O'Brien , as he was fired just four games into the 2020 season when the Texans began 0–4.[1]
In addition, Deshaun Watson , the starting quarterback since 2017, was inactive the entire season due to several allegations of sexual assault.[2] [3] [4] [3] Tyrod Taylor and rookie Davis Mills split time as the starting quarterback in Watson's stead throughout the season. Due to injury and poor performance by Taylor,[5] [6] [7] [8] [nb 1]
After winning their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars , the Texans would go on an eight-game losing streak before winning against the Tennessee Titans in week 11. After a Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts , the Texans became the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive year. With a 41–29 upset victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in week 16, the Texans matched their win total from the previous season, at four.
Following the season, head coach David Culley and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly were fired.[9] [10] Cleveland Browns in the following off-season.[11]
Offseason [ edit ]
On January 7, 2021, the Texans hired Nick Caserio as the team's new General manager. Caserio spend 20 years with the New England Patriots .[12] David Culley as the team's new head coach.
