Our trusted projections expect the Houston Texans to be the 10th-least run-focused offense among all teams this week with a 40.4% run rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop.The model projects C.J. Stroud to accrue 2.7 carries in this week's contest, on balance: the 9th-fewest out of all quarterbacks.When talking about blocking for rushers (and the importance it has on all ground game statistics), the O-line of the Houston Texans profiles as the worst in the league last year.C.J. Stroud's ground effectiveness (3.81 adjusted yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the league this year (14th percentile when it comes to quarterbacks).
