The Houston Texans will have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 2.8% more towards rushing than it did last season (adjusted for context).THE BLITZ projects the Houston Texans to be the 4th-least pass-heavy offense in the NFL (in a neutral context) right now with a 57.1% pass rate.The Houston Texans have played in the 5th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league since the start of last season, which should lead to reduced pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack results when facing windier conditions in this week's contest.Dameon Pierce has accumulated a meager -2.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: just 11th percentile among RBs.The Houston Texans O-line ranks as the 3rd-worst in football since the start of last season in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful effect on all pass attack metrics across the board.
