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?
