The Texans boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Nick Caley, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 4.1% more towards rushing than it did last year (in a neutral context).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 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.Opposing teams have rushed for the 10th-most TDs in the league (1.05 per game) against the Jaguars defense since the start of last season.As it relates to linebackers in covering receivers, Jacksonville's LB corps has been excellent since the start of last season, projecting as the 2nd-best in the league.
