Can theHouston Texans get rolling at the right time to enter December on a winning streak and with a winning record?
If so, they'll have to get past Deshaun Watson in what could be the final game of hs tenure against a former friend.
For just the second time since his departure, Deshaun Watson will face off against his former team.
The Texans hit the road following a massive win against the Los Angeles Chargers to take on Watson and the Cleveland Browns in Huntington Bank Stadium for a Week 10 battle. One team is trending up following a double-digit win on the road, while the other has started to lose its fast and is trying to avoid a three-game losing streak.
Houston is coming off its best win of the season behind a strong outing from AFC Player
of the Week C.J. Stroud. In his return to Los Angeles, Stroud threw for a season-high 384 yards and tied his career high in touchdown passes with five as Houston rolled past the Bolts in a 44-22 victory at SoFi Stadium.
Entering Sunday, they're banged up. Multiple starters have been ruled out before the team departed Houston, including running back David Montgomery and rookie offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge. Others, like defensive end Will Anderson Jr. were listed as questionable.
