C.J. Stroud's heroics are encouraging, but without consistency from the entire offense, the Houston Texans could be in trouble against the New Orleans Saints.
The Houston Texans are exceeding expectations, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t legitimate grips on a week-to-week basis. One such flaw is the offense’s consistency. Against a well-coached New Orleans Saints defense, opportunities to find one’s footing will be far and few between.
New Orleans is coming off of an utter dismantling of a once proud New England Patriots team, winning on the road, 34-0. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has already cemented himself as a level above that of Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, but a slow start could put Houston behind and render them one-dimensional.. The Texans have struggled to run the ball all year, ranking 30th in expected points added per rush and last in rushing success rate.
Fans have every reason to believe the future is bright, but the next hurdle for Stroud and this young Houston team is remaining competitive for 60 minutes. Without doing so, it’s hard to consider theGetting off on the right foot will be imperative for this offense, but the run game’s struggles don’t inspire much confidence.
