It wasn’t pretty early… but Nick Caley has settled in — and the growth is impossible to ignore. After a rocky start in his first season as Texans offensive coordinator, Caley has made real, in-season adjustments despite being dealt a brutal hand. No Joe Mixon. No Tank Dell. A wildly inconsistent year from Christian Kirk. And yet? The offense looks more organized, more intentional, and more prepared than it did in September. So here’s the big question: 👉 Should the 2025 Houston Texans season be viewed as the FOUNDATION for what’s coming next? Caley has the building blocks: A franchise left tackle to anchor the offense Cole Popovich beside him to develop the offensive line Proven evidence that he can adjust on the fly With three games left in the season, what do you NEED to see more of? The wide receiver unit stepping up? Or cleaner game operations across the board? Because the penalties, mental mistakes, and self-inflicted wounds have to stop. And while the offense finds its footing… the defense has been flat-out dominant. The Texans currently boast the #1 defense in the NFL, which leads to another massive conversation: 👉 How many potential All-Pros are on this unit right now?
