Is this the week where the losing streak comes to an end?
The Texans look to move to 1-2 on the season against Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts' offense after a less-than-stellar offensive outing against the Cincinnati Bengals. Meanwhile, the AFC South franchise is also looking to avoid a winless start after a questionable fourth-down call and a stunner on Sunday Night Football.
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. In reality, Stroud had zero help with the lack of a run game.
Entering the fourth quarter, Houston had only 41 rushing yards and was averaging less than 2.0 yards per attempt. Jaylin Noel, a wide receiver,
had the run of the day with a 13-yard scamper in the second quarter before Stroud took off in the fourth for a gain of 14.
The Texans' defensive line did deliver, totaling 27 pressures on Burrow and five sacks. Will Anderson Jr. was credited with 1.5, to go along with his three tackles for loss. Danielle Hunter notched his first sack of 2026 during the second quarter that nearly jarred the ball loose.
With Week 3 here, let's look at how Houston stacks up among all 32 NFL teams entering the regular season.
