Our offense vs. their defense: Houston Texans
The New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans will face off for the second time this season (first came in the preseason, so it doesn’t really count) on Sunday at noon central time.
The Texans made the decision to fire Lovie Smith this offseason in favor of former Houston and San Fransisco Defensive Coordinator, DeMeco Ryans. The former Texans linebacker is a defense first, offense second type of coach, and that has shown through five games.
With just one offseason to begin rebuilding this Texans roster, Ryans already has Houston as a top 15 scoring defense. The Texans rank 11th in the NFL, allowing 20.0 PPG through their first five matchups, and just 14.7 PPG over their last three.
