The offseason has now officially arrived for the entire AFC South. So let’s preview what’s ahead for the Indianapolis Colts’ divisional opponents. Up next are the Houston Texans. If you missed our other AFC South offseason previews,

The Jacksonville Jaguars have many problems they must figure out over the offseason. However, they are not the South team that needs significant improvements.

With the season reaching its end on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, the Houston Texans’ focus is built on bettering its roster for the 2025 campaign. If all goes according to plan, the Texans will look to punch their ticket to a Super Bowl and a date at Levi Stadium on Feb. 8, 2026.

Let’s take a look around the AFC South with an offseason preview for each of the Colts’ divisional opponents. Up first are the Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts. They fell short of their goal of winning the AFC South for an eleventh straight year.  A division the Colts once dominated has now seen each team win it twice since the last time the Colts could call themselves the AFC South champions.

The Houston Texans will face their AFC South foes at NRG Stadium and on the road. They'll also take on teams from the AFC West, NFC West and elsewhere.

The Houston Texans, who rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers in a 32-12 victory at NRG Stadium on Saturday, will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the AFC Playoffs. The game will be either Jan. 18 or 19 but has not yet been scheduled.

The Chiefs have become synonymous with the AFC Championship game. Kansas City will be playing in its seventh consecutive title game after defeating the Texans 23-14. The game was scrutinized, as most Chiefs games are, for the perceived favoritism shown by the refs for Kansas City, but really, Houston couldn't get out of its own way.

Mahomes and Allen have been linked throughout their careers. The former was drafted in 2017 but sat a year behind Alex Smith. Allen was drafted in 2018 and played in 12 games as a rookie. Both quarterbacks have comparable skills and stats and have been considered the future of the game for the past four years.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Monday that the AFC South franchise would host second interviews with three head coach candidates — Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh,

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel hired Josh McDaniels as the offensive coordinator. Mass Live reported on Tuesday that McDaniels interviewed for the position.
