The Baltimore Ravens get a near clone of themselves in Week 11 when they take on the Houston Texans. With a quarterback also in the discussion for the NFL’s MVP award, a tough rushing attack and a defense that has gotten the job done but hasn’t necessarily looked the greatest along the way, the Ravens are in for a taste of their own medicine.

To get a closer look at what Houston has going for them this season and where Baltimore might look to attack, I turned to Texans Wire managing editor Mark Lane.

1) Deshaun Watson has been having a great season but has also had a few mediocre games. How have opposing defenses been able to contain him in those efforts?

There are two tricks to slowing down Watson. The first is to generate a pass rush up the middle that is so overwhelming that he can’t evade his way out of the problem. The second way is to have really great coverage and force him to sit on some passes. One of the best things Watson does is get the ball out quickly and also avoid the first wave of pass rushers. Another element that helps is to stuff the run game. If the run game isn’t working, and Watson is all they have on the ground, that also allows the defense to key in on him and shut him down.
