The Texans will face 14 different opponents this season—and every matchup presents a different question.
Can C.J. Stroud and the offensive line handle Buffalo’s new-look defense without much film to study? Can Houston stand up to Cincinnati’s massive defensive front? How will DeMeco Ryans counter Robert Saleh, and can the Texans finally break through against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
Seth goes opponent by opponent, examining the schemes, players and individual matchups that could define Houston’s season. Plus, why the Texans’ defense could be even better, what improvement from Stroud might look like and whether Houston can surpass its projected win total.
