The owner came up with these options after doing a research on the history of Houston and their role in the National Football League.

The options mulled over by them were Stallions, Bobcats, Texans, Toros and Wildcatters. They deliberated and posted a survey on internet to decide on the name Houston Texans. The Texans was under Kansas City Chief’s use and the owner had to reach a settlement with them to use this name.

The Tennessee Titans

The Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans have been going at it for over a decade and a half. There is absolutely no love lost between these two sides. The Titans used to be the Houston Oilers before and now the Texans are the city’s representatives in the NFL. When the AFC South was created, the Texans and the Titans became division rivals. The Titans have the edge in the head-to-head record. As of 2016, they have won sixteen games compared to the Texans’ fourteen triumphs. These two sides have never met in the postseason though.

The Dallas Cowboys

The Houston Texans also have an intense rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys and the winner of the encounter between these two teams also gets the Governor’s Cup.
