The Texans will be forced to start backup QB Davis Mills in this contest, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.With a 35.9% rate of rushing the ball (in a neutral context) this year, the 6th-least run-centric offense in the league has been the Houston Texans.Given the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this game is anticipated by the projections to see only 129.3 plays on offense run: the 5th-fewest on the slate this week.The passing attacks of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may decline.This year, the formidable Jaguars run defense has given up a paltry 91.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing squads: the 5th-fewest in the league.
