Five Matchups to Watch Saturday

1. Texans offensive tackles vs. Justin Houston & Tamba Hali

Losing Duane Brown last week was a huge loss. He was needed to protect Brian Hoyer‘s blind side against Houston, one of the game’s best pass rushers. Even though Houston has missed the last five games, he led the team with 7.5 sacks and was an All-Pro last season with 22 sacks, nearly breaking Michael Strahan‘s single season record. If the combination of Derek Newton, who struggled in recent weeks, Tyson Clabo and newly signed Andrew McDonald can’t keep the Chiefs out of the backfield, it will be a long day for the Texans offense.
