Joe Mixon moved from Cincinnati to Houston during the summer, changing teams and time zones in the process.He also doesn’t see any barrier preventing the Texans from competing in the Super Bowl.
Remember that neither the Oilers nor the Texans, nor any other Houston NFL team, have ever participated in the Super Bowl. Additionally, the Texans are no longer among the league’s worst teams after a season.
Thanks to a revamped defence and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was a preseason favourite for NFL MVP, they are now contenders. To strengthen their running game, the Texans acquired Pro Bowler Mixon through trade.
This past Thursday marked the start of the team’s training camp. They were able to begin training camp a few days ahead of schedule because they play the Bears in the NFL preseason opener on August 1.
During his Friday media conference, Mixon compared the Bengals, who participated in two AFC title games and the Super Bowl while Mixon was there, to that team.
Mixon, a standout player at Oklahoma, said, “I’ve definitely been on a championship team before and I know what it’s like.” “I’m aware of the steps required to arrive. Without a doubt, I think we have the best talent I’ve seen in a while here.
“I genuinely believe that this team is prepared to go far with the direction we’re going in. Ultimately, we simply need to take things one day at a time and one week at a time; everything else will work itself out.
One NFL analyst claims that the Texans’ roster is dribbling with talent
2023 saw the Texans win the AFC South division. After defeating the Browns in their first playoff game, they were defeated in Baltimore by the Ravens. The previous year was unanticipated. Fans, though, are hoping for at least a little bit more this season. Mixon and former Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs were added to the offence. One of the top pass rushers in the NFL, Danielle Hunter, was acquired by the defence.
The talent on the Texans roster is among the best in the game, according to Fox Sports NFL expert Bucky Brooks. Houston trails only Detroit, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Kansas City. That is an impressive company.
The Texans were ranked four spots higher by Brooks than their in-state rivals, the Cowboys, for those who are interested in such minutiae.
