What to Know
The Houston Texans will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will square off against the Los Angeles Rams at 1 p.m. ET next Sunday at NRG Stadium. Los Angeles will be strutting in after a win while the Texans will be stumbling in from a loss.
Houston was expected to have a tough go of it on Sunday, and, well, they did. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 31-5 walloping at the Arizona Cardinals’ hands. 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 fumbled the ball once with only 4.22 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, the Rams had a touchdown and change to spare in a 28-19 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Los Angeles’ WR Cooper Kupp did his thing and caught ten passes for two TDs and 156 yards.
Houston is now 1-6 while Los Angeles sits at a mirror-image 6-1. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Texans are stumbling into the matchup with the most rushing touchdowns allowed in the league, having given up 12 on the season. The Rams’ defense has more to brag about, as they they come into the contest boasting the third fewest passing touchdowns allowed in the NFL at seven.
