Main Storylines to Watch
Can this Texans team do without their quarterback? This Texans team is coming off a close win over the Titans last week without C.J. Stroud. Nothing will be changing as Case Keenum will be in at quarterback this week. This elite defense can serve as too much for this young team or maybe the pressure will create diamonds, but the one thing I will say is that it won’t be easy.
Can the Browns’ defense return to their midseason form? For as good as this Brown defense is, they can still give up points in bunches. 38 to the Colts, 31 to the Ravens, 29 to the Broncos, 36 to the Rams, and 27 to the Jaguars just to name a few. The Texans can definitely score this high but if the Browns really want to they can play like the defense that allowed the best team in the league to score only 17 points.
Which win will matter more? Ultimately it’s going to come down to who wants it more. Both of these teams are in tough positions in their division and both can benefit from this win this late into the season. The Browns have a lot more to lose while the Texans have more to win.
