The 2011 Houston Texans season was the team’s tenth season in the National Football League (NFL). The Texans improved on their record from the 2010 season and earned the franchise’s first playoff berth by defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 20–19 in Week 14 and clinching the AFC South. It also assured the Texans of at least one playoff game at home—the first NFL playoff game in Houston since 1993.
