The mileage is going up for the Texans in 2025.
In April or May the NFL will release the full schedule of games for Houston and the other 31 clubs in the league. But the away opponents are known: the Texans face these eight squads on the road in 2025.
The Texans will fly 17,602 air miles, round trip, from Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) this fall. They fly United Airlines to all road games.
Last regular season, the Texans flew 16,532 miles, and their all-time highest mileage came in 2019 when they logged 21,312 miles roundtrip. That year, they won games in Los Angeles against the Chargers and in London versus the Jaguars.
Two road games (Chiefs and Titans) will take place in the central time zone, while the Texans play three games apiece in the Eastern (Ravens, Colts and Jaguars) and Pacific (Chargers, Rams and Seahawks) time zones. Five of the Texans nine road games last season were in the central time zone, and Houston didn't travel west of Arlington (Cowboys) for any of those contests.
The shortest road trip this fall is the journey to Kansas City, and the longest is the flight to Seattle for the matchup with the Seahawks. The latter trip is nearly 2,500 miles more than the former.
