Houston Texans and Oilers weather history

The Houston Oilers and Houston Texans have a history of playing in extreme weather conditions during away games.

For the Oilers, notable matches include the 1978-79 AFC Championship against the Pittsburgh Steelers, played in freezing rain and ice, and two significant snow games against the Cleveland Browns: the 1988 ‘Snow Comeback’ and a 1991 victory known as the ‘Win in the Snowstorm.’

The Texans have also faced harsh conditions on the road, including a 2020 game against the Cleveland Browns impacted by 40 mph winds and a weather delay, and a 2026 AFC Divisional Playoff loss to the New England Patriots in the snow at Gillette Stadium.
