Th e Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas, United States. The team is currently a member of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Texans joined the NFL in 2002 as an expansion team after Houston's previous franchise, the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans), moved to Nashville, Tennessee. The team is owned by Bob McNair.
The National Football League adopted the 16 game regular season schedule in 1983. The regular season schedule begins after Labor Day and concludes 17 weeks later. Each has one bye week during the season. The majority of the games are played during the day on Sundays. There is also one Sunday night game per week, a Monday night game each week, some Thursday night games and two traditional Thanksgiving games.
There are four divisions in the National Football Conference and four divisions in the American Football Conference. Each team plays their three division opponents twice per season, once at home and once away. Each team plays four teams in another division in their own conference, two of the games at home and two away. The division is determined by a three year rotating cycle. Four games are played each year against teams in another division of the other conference based on a four year rotating cycle. The other four games are played against teams with the same standings in their own division.
