The Houston Texans regular season is over, but who will they play in 2016?

Despite how horribly the season started for the Houston Texans, someone needed to win the AFC South and that ended up being Bill O’Brien and company. That’s not a total endorsement right there, but at the end of the day all you need to do is get into the playoffs to have a chance at the Super Bowl.

Maybe this year was nothing more than a confidence builder for a Texans team that has fallen on hard times lately. They’re much improved over what they were last year and the year before, but there still needs to be work done before they are considered true title contenders.

That being said, the Texans are looking ahead to next year’s schedule with more confidence than they did a year prior, which is at least some progress.

Here’s a look at who the Texans will matchup against in the 2016 season:

We won’t know when these games will be scheduled until later on in the spring when the schedule is released. It doesn’t really matter when the games are played though as the Texans only need to know who they play in order to prep for what they hope is a season that hopefully ends in the Super Bowl.
