Texans prepping for Packers' unpredictable pistol looks

The creativity of the Green Bay Packers' offense revolves around more than intricate variations of the route tree, providing a wrinkle for the Texans' defense to ponder heading into Sunday's game at Lambeau Field.

The Packers used a pistol formation against the Philadelphia Eagles with athletic quarterback Aaron Rodgers lined up in the backfield along with wide receivers Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery along with tight end Jared Cook.

The triple option designed by Packers coach Mike McCarthy involves Rodgers faking dive runs up the middle to Montgomery along with the options of keeping it himself, throwing or pitching it back to Cobb.
