If the Houston Texans are going to come away with their second win of the season this coming Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, they will need defensive tackle D.J. Reader to have a big game.
With the Titans being a run-first team with running backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, Reader is this week’s x-factor for Houston.
The Titans have a good offense that relies mostly on their running game. Now of course quarterback Marcus Mariota can make things happen with his arm as well as his feet, but the key to this week’s game is shutting down Murray and Henry.
