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.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.Opposing offenses have run for the 5th-fewest adjusted yards in the league (just 90.0 per game) against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense this year.When it comes to the defensive ends' role in stopping the run, Jacksonville's collection of DEs has been outstanding this year, profiling as the 10th-best in football.
