What to Know
The Houston Texans are staying on the road next Sunday to face off against the Arizona Cardinals at 4:25 p.m. ET Oct. 24 at State Farm Stadium. Arizona will be strutting in after a win while the Texans will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The oddsmakers predicted a rough matchup for Houston on Sunday, and boy were they were right. Things couldn’t have gone much worse for them as they lost 31-3 to the Indianapolis Colts. Houston was down 24-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. QB Davis Mills had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw two interceptions with only 5.65 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, you can’t lose the contest if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Arizona’s strategy against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Everything went Arizona’s way against Cleveland as they made off with a 37-14 victory. The Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray did his thing and passed for four TDs and 229 yards on 30 attempts.
Special teams collected 13 points for Arizona. K Matt Prater delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Houston is now 1-5 while Arizona sits at 6-0. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: Houston is worst in the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 11 on the season. The Cardinals’ defense has more to brag about, as they they come into the game boasting the third fewest rushing touchdowns allowed in the league at three.
