Houston Texans: 4 Bold predictions vs L.A. Chargers

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…
