In their short history, the Texans have been a successful franchise. They have successfully advanced in the playoffs and built great teams through the draft. As they now begin the post-Bill O'Brien era, there should be a sense of optimism for the future.

We are the professors and students of the Know Rivalry project. We want to know who you as fans perceive as rivals to the Texans and why. Please help us expand our 6 years of research by taking 9 minutes to complete our new survey:

You will find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. We use Qualtrics survey software.

Our previous results have been highlighted in sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view these results, links to media coverage, and learn about us at our KnowRivalry.com website but we would prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey.

Thank you for helping us to include the Houston Texans in our research!
