The Houston Texans offense was painful, confusing, and straight-up complacent — and the players are admitting it. After a brutal offensive performance, questionable coaching decisions, and Tytus Howard calling out the team’s mindset, it’s time to ask a real question:
👉 Are the Texans even CLOSE to competing with elite NFL teams?
Right now — the answer looks like no.
Tonight on Locked On Texans, we break down the 3 PHASES of FAILURE that cost Houston big:
🚨 PHASE 1 — Offensive Line Chaos
Rotating Laken Tomlinson and Juice Scruggs at LG for no clear reason?
28 pressures. 3 sacks. 4 QB hits. No run game. No rhythm. No identity.
That’s how you sabotage an offense.
🚨 PHASE 2 — CJ Stroud’s Worst Night
4 of 15 on throws 10+ yards
Multiple hero-ball misses
No situational awareness in key moments
CJ is a star — but Monday was bad. Really bad.
🚨 PHASE 3 — Nick Caley’s Play-Calling
From run-run-run predictability to ignoring Dalton Schultz to no QB sneaks on 3rd and 4th and short…
This was Houston’s most head-scratching play-calling of the season.
The defense gave you 4 turnovers and you walked away with 13 points.
That’s not winning football. That’s wasted opportunities.
💬 THE WORD OF THE WEEK: COMPLACENCY
Tytus Howard flat-out said it:
“We were complacent. No energy. We let the defense down.”
Why does this team always need to get punched in the mouth before waking up?
✅ FINAL TAKE
Defense — you were elite.
Offense — accountability time.
Coaches — look in the mirror.
TAP IN!
COMMENT: Who deserves the most blame — CJ, Caley, O-Line, or the overall mindset?
