The Houston Texans’ season is officially over — but whether it was a success or a failure depends on who you ask. In this season finale of Texans Bloodline, Nick and Scara break down the end of the Texans’ playoff run from two very different perspectives. For Scara, a brand-new Texans fan, the season was a clear win: a turnaround from 0–3 to a 10-game winning streak, a playoff appearance, and a postseason victory — all reasons for optimism about the future. For Nick, a Texans fan of more than 25 years, the ending feels all too familiar. Another promising season ends in the Divisional Round, reopening old wounds and raising the same questions Texans fans have wrestled with for decades. Is this real progress, or just another version of “same old Texans”? The conversation dives into expectations, emotional whiplash, and what this season truly means depending on how long you’ve been invested — and where the franchise goes from here. Whether you’re hopeful, frustrated, or somewhere in between, this episode captures the complicated reality of being a Texans fan when the season comes to an end.

The Houston Texans just ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ season — and they did it in the most poetic way possible. CJ Stroud and this championship-caliber defense shut down Patrick Mahomes when it mattered most, proving again why this new Texans Bloodline is one of the most dangerous teams in football.
