Why it matters: It's the first time the franchise accomplished both feats since 2019.
How it happened: The Texans' stellar season was built on the backs of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and new head coach DeMeco Ryans, who propelled the team to finish with a 10-7 record.
The season was capped off with a 23-19 victory over the Colts on Saturday night — the Texans' first and only primetime slot this season — securing the team a wild card spot.
Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars lost a Sunday matchup to the Tennessee Titans, giving the Texans the best record in the AFC South.
What's next: The Texans play the Cleveland Browns in Houston next weekend in a winner-take-all wild card game.
