The Texans feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Nick Caley, and the model projects their pass/run mix to skew 2.9% more towards rushing than it did last season (context-neutralized).The Texans are a huge 7.5-point favorite this week, likely creating an extreme rushing game script.Based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Texans to pass on 55.3% of their downs: the 9th-lowest frequency among all teams this week.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 28.2 pass attempts per game against the Tennessee Titans defense since the start of last season: fewest in the league.The projections expect Nick Chubb to be a more important option in his offense's running game near the goal line in this week's contest (59.0% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (40.0% in games he has played).
