NFL Fatigue Index Reveals Travel Woes | Houston Texans News

NFL teams are facing a silent but brutal enemy: travel fatigue. A new 2026 Fatigue Index reveals Houston and San Francisco as the most overworked, with the Texans scoring a staggering 96.4 — thanks to a grueling London trip against Jacksonville just days after their last game. The 49ers follow closely at 96.2, burdened by nearly 38,000 miles and 58 time zones. West Coast teams are hit hardest, and 25 of the league’s most taxing matchups are overseas. While talent can overcome it, this hidden factor could decide close games — and the NFL’s global push is making it worse.
