| When Did Houston Get An Nfl Team |
A Brief History of Heartbreak
You see, Houston had a taste of NFL action back in the day with the Oilers. But those guys were as loyal as a goldfish with a short attention span, and up and bam, they ditched us for Tennessee to become the Titans. Can you believe the audacity? It was like your favorite band breaking up and then reforming without the lead singer – just not the same, you know?
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
The Rise of the Texans
But fear not, Houston! We’re a city of resilience. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes (or more accurately, from the rubble of Oilers heartbreak), we got our own team: the Houston Texans. It was a long, arduous journey, filled with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster at Six Flags. But in 2002, our prayers were answered, and the Texans joined the NFL.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
It wasn't all touchdowns and high fives right away. There were growing pains, some questionable draft picks (let’s not talk about David Carr), and a few seasons that made us question our life choices. But hey, that’s football, baby! Even the greats have bad days.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.

QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
So, to answer your burning question: Houston officially got an NFL team in 2002. And while they might not have a Super Bowl ring yet (cough, Deshaun Watson, cough), we're optimistic about the future. After all, every underdog story needs a good comeback.
