Houston will get another chance to gain their second win against New England, as they are scheduled to face the Patriots for a fifth straight regular season game in 2019.
Houston has faced the Rams on four occasions since entering the NFL, with their first meeting coming back in 2005. Their most recent game was in 2017 as the Texans have a 1-3 record over the Rams in their history.
The Texans have lost their past two games against the Rams, most recently on Nov. 12, 2017 by a 33-7 score. That was a game where Rams quarterback Jared Goff was 25-of-37 for 355 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Goff was also sacked three times in that game.
Also in their meeting against the Rams during the’17 season, the Texans saw Todd Gurley rush 11 times for 68 yards and catch six passes for 68 yards.
The Texans have played not so well against both teams facing each other in Super Bowl 53. Houston is still working to reach the point of playing in the biggest game of the season as they are one of just a handful of teams who have not qualified to play in the Super Bowl.
