The Texans boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Nick Caley, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 4.0% more towards rushing than it did last year (in a neutral context).The model projects the Houston Texans as the 9th-least pass-focused offense among all teams this week with a 55.5% pass rate, accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.The Houston Texans have played in the 3rd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in football since the start of last season, which ought to lead to lower pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing offense performance when facing windier conditions in this week's game.The weather report calls for 14-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.The Texans O-line grades out as the 6th-worst in the league since the start of last season in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative influence on all air attack stats across the board.
