Following their disappointing performance against the Seattle Seahawks, the Houston Texans have come under fire from various analysts, including Skip Bayless. In a pointed critique, he suggested that the team’s offensive struggles were “worse than the Cowboys’ defense,” highlighting the team’s failure to capitalize on opportunities in crucial moments.
This assessment came after Houston managed just one touchdown in a 27-19 loss, marking another frustrating outing for a team grappling with consistency. The Texans’ offense has been stagnant, and the criticism reflects growing concerns about their overall performance.

During the game, Houston turned the ball over four times and struggled to convert third downs, finishing just 2-for-15. Such inefficiency has hindered their ability to score, leaving the defense to shoulder the burden of keeping the team competitive.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud acknowledged the shortcomings, expressing that the offense needs to take accountability for its mistakes. He emphasized the importance of executing plays properly and maintaining composure under pressure. Stroud’s comments underscore a broader issue within the team’s offense, which has failed to find its rhythm throughout the season.
As the team prepares for their upcoming matchup, the pressure is on to improve its offensive output. Coach Nick Caley has been tasked with addressing these issues, but the team remains committed to finding solutions. Houston’s performance in the next game will be crucial for rebuilding confidence among players and fans alike.

“The Texans’ offense is even worse than the Cowboys’ defense, including coordinator,” Bayless tweeted.
In the larger context of the NFL, Houston’s struggles highlight the challenges faced by teams with young quarterbacks and evolving offenses. The inability to execute fundamental plays can lead to devastating consequences, as seen in their recent games.
