The 2022 season was the Houston Texans' 21st in the National Football League (NFL) and their only season under Lovie Smith, following the firing of David Culley at the end of the 2021 season.[1]
For the first time since 2016, long-time quarterback Deshaun Watson was not on the roster, as he was traded to the Cleveland Browns on March 18.[2]
The Texans recorded their first tie in franchise history against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1.[3] However, the Texans struggled as they had their worst start since 2005. Houston was eliminated from playoff contention in Week 13, marking the third consecutive year the Texans were the first team to be eliminated.[4] The Texans failed to improve upon their 4–13 record from the previous year, and posted a 9-game losing streak from Week 7 to Week 15, their worst losing streak since 2013. They failed to win a home game in 2022, going 0–7–1 at NRG Stadium.[5] Hours after their season-ending win against the Colts, the Texans parted ways with head coach Lovie Smith after only one season with the organization, marking the third consecutive year that the team fired its head coach.[6]
