The 2024 NFL season kicked off with a thrilling start as the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the opener, while the Philadelphia Eagles fended off the Green Bay Packers in an international matchup in Brazil.
As the rest of the league prepares to take the field in Week 1, anticipation is building for what promises to be an exciting season. Among the teams to watch are the Houston Texans, who have generated significant buzz as they aim to take another big step forward in 2024.
Last season, the Texans made waves under the leadership of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and standout rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. The team has since bolstered its roster on both offense and defense, signaling their serious intent to compete for a Super Bowl.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, veteran NFL players and podcast co-hosts, highlighted Houston’s Week 1 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts as a game to watch.
“Texans at Colts—this is going to be a fun one,” Travis Kelce remarked on their “New Heights” podcast.
“Absolutely,” Jason Kelce agreed. “The Texans are on my must-watch list every week as long as C.J. Stroud is playing. He’s one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, and I’m excited to see what he does.”
The Kelce brothers praised Stroud while acknowledging that the Colts are also a formidable team capable of competing in the AFC. The upcoming clash between these two AFC South rivals promises to be a captivating battle to see which team can assert its dominance early in the season.
