Will Sunday finally end the losing skid, or will this be another week where fans question everything about the Houston Texans'offense entering October?
The Texans look to stop the bleeding en route to picking up their first win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 on the road at Lucas Oil Stadium. Houston has started slowly out of the gate in the DeMeco Ryans era, starting the year 0-2 three times in the four seasons, but the franchise is trying to avoid an 0-3 start for the third time in seven years, dating back to the final days of Bill O'Brien.
Last week, Houston's offense sputtered behind insufficient play-calling and terrible on-field execution. QuarterbackC.J. Stroud threw for 353 yards against Cincinnati, but never could find the end
zone as Joe Burrow and Co. coasted to a 20-6 win at Reliant Stadium.
As for the Colts, Daniel Jones led Houston's AFC South rival to a 13-10 lead entering the second quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs before Patrick Mahomes came to life. The game went to overtime, with each team kicking a field goal, but a pickup of 22 from Kenneth Walker III set up the game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker as time expired was the difference in a tie and a 33-30 Chiefs win.
With a win, Houston could be tied for the division lead with Jacksonville, which takes on New England for a showdown in the AFC South come Week 6 in London. With a loss, certain questions put Houston behind the sticks and in a position that makes them vulnerable.
Who comes out on top? Which team prevails in the divisional race.
