Houston Texans

The Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference South division. The Texans were founded in 1999 to replace the city's previous NFL franchise, the Houston Oilers, who played from 1960 to 1996 before moving to Nashville and becoming the Tennessee Titans. The team began play as an expansion team in 2002, which makes it the youngest franchise in the league. After difficult early years the Texans won their first division championship in 2011 and have won the AFC South several times since, though they have never appeared in a conference championship game.
