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 projections expect the Houston Texans as the 9th-most run-focused offense among all teams this week with a 44.5% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this contest is forecasted by the projection model to see 129.1 plays on offense called: the 4th-most on the slate this week.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.
