What are your thoughts on how the Seahawks’ defense matches up against the offense of the Texans?

"The Seahawks defense is one of the best in the league. Their secondary isn’t one to be reckoned with, and if Andre Johnson doesn’t play, or is limited, players like Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas will have a field day with Houston’s young receivers. However, Seattle’s run defense is vulnerable at times. That’s worrisome, considering the Dynamic Duo Houston has in Arian Foster and Ben Tate. If the Texans are going to beat Seattle, they will probably have to do it on the ground, not in the air."
