How the Ravens can contain Deshaun Watson and other questions for Texans Wire

I talk with Texans Wire managing editor Mark Lane to get the inside scoop on what to expect from Ravens vs. Texans in Week 11.

4) The Texans’ pass defense ranks 29th but has had some positive games this season. What’s worked for them, and where have they faltered?

Houston is tied with Tampa Bay and Washington for the 10th-fewest sacks overall with just 21. They have not been able to get to the quarterback, and that is just with one game without J.J. Watt. Tight ends have not had success against them with 366 receiving yards by tight ends, the fifth-fewest in the league, and just two touchdown grabs allowed, tied for the fifth-fewest. That has been due to their safety tandem of Tashaun Gipson and Justin Reid. One could even throw in Jahleel Addae into the mix because he has done a great job in the rotation and filling in for Gipson when he has missed due to injury. The cornerback group has battled injuries since Week 6 with hamstring issues hitting Johnathan Joseph and Bradley Roby, a concussion knocking out Lonnie Johnson in Week 7, and that culminating in a trade for Gareon Conley with the Oakland Raiders. Some of the problems have been injury-related, and some of the problems have been personnel-related.
