The Houston Texans will have less than 60 rushing yards
The fact that the Texans rushing attack is dead last in the league shouldn’t surprise anyone. What good would a run-first offense do without a premier running back or offensive line? Unfortunately, that answer is relatively nothing as the Texans have only gained 1,083 rushing on the season. In addition, Houston has only two 100-yard games- Week 1 against the Jaguars and Week 6 on the road against the Colts.
Houston has also contributed the following yards in each game (grouped by 10-yard increments)
- 40-50: four times (42,42,44,48)
- 50-60: none
- 60-70: two times (63,67)
- 70-80: two times (73. 75)
- 80-90: three times (82,83,84)
The surprising fact is that the Chargers defense is has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards to opponents this year. As juicy of a matchup as that is, Houston’s offensive line won’t be able to get the job done against a potentially hampered Chargers defense. It will be up to Davis Mills to lead this team down the field and have a shot at victory.
Speaking of Mills…
