Episode notes
Texans Built Around Elite Pass Defense
- The Texans' biggest strength is their pass defense built on elite corners and a deep edge rush.
- Opponents must avoid falling behind Houston because they are toughest in obvious passing situations.

- Houston's offensive line is a major question and could be the team's kryptonite.
- If the line is poor, even elite QB play from C.J. Stroud won't sustain an AFC title-level team.
C.J. Stroud's Metrics Are Distorted By Pressure
