The Houston Texans will have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 4.5% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).THE BLITZ projects the Houston Texans as the 6th-most pass-oriented team among all teams this week with a 63.9% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.Opposing QBs have averaged 39.7 pass attempts per game versus the Tennessee Titans defense this year: 3rd-most in the league.THE BLITZ projects Phillip Dorsett to be a more important option in his team's passing attack this week (12.2% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (3.7% in games he has played).
