If there was ever a good time for a bye week, the Texans got it in preparation for a red hot Baltimore Ravens team. Houston beat Jacksonville, 26-3, in London last weekend. Deshaun Watson was 22 of 28 for 201 yards and two touchdowns. Offensively, the team received a major boost in the run game from Carlos Hyde, who carried the ball 19 times for a season-high 160 yards, marking his second game this season over the 100-yard mark. DeAndre Hopkins has been relatively quiet this season. Hopkins reeled in eight passes for 48 yards and one touchdown. Houston is ranked fourth in total offense (396.7 YPG) and fourth in rushing yards per game (142.8).
The number one objective for the defense will be to try and slow down Lamar Jackson and the offense. That’s a tall task that even the league’s best defense, the New England Patriots, couldn’t pass. Linebackers Zach Cunningham and Benardick McKinney have 68 and 60 tackles, respectively, and are key contributors for a unit that ranks third in the NFL against the run (84.1YPG).
Baltimore boasts the league’s second-best offense, averaging over 421.7 yards per game. That success starts with quarterback Lamar Jackson. He looked like a human highlight reel in last week’s 49-13 rout of the winless Bengals. He completed 15 of 17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns for a perfect passer rating of 158.3. On the ground, he was equally impressive with seven carries for 65 yards and one touchdown. Mark Ingram provides a ground and pounds 1-2 punch for the league’s best rushing team (197.2 YPG). Rookie Marquise “Hollywood” Brown reeled in four catches for 80 yards, as the Ravens won their fifth straight game. The last time they had a streak like that was 2013.
While the Ravens have a slew of offensive weapons, so do the Texans. Watson isn’t as elusive as Jackson, but is one of the best dual threats in the league and can beat you with his arm or with his legs. Running back Carlos Hyde had a breakout game last weekend and hopes to continue that momentum, while DeAndre Hopkins is an All-Pro wide receiver. Baltimore is ranked eighth in the NFL in rush defense, but 20th when it comes to stopping the pass.
