This one feels like a playoff game — and the Houston Texans know it.With major AFC playoff implications on the line, Houston faces one of its biggest tests of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
But here’s the challenge:
Trent Brown is out
Rookie Aireontae Ersery’s status is questionable
So how does Houston still create an edge?It starts with the same formula that’s carried them all year: run the football, control the time of possession, and win the small moments.
We break down how the Texans offensive line MUST attack the edge of the Chargers’ defense, why the tight end unit could be a major factor, and whether this sets up a sneaky Cade Stover value game.
From there, it’s about discipline and details:
No penalties
Strong special teams
Limiting missed tackles
And then the big question: Which running back steps up?Should we see more Nick Chubb in this matchup? I think so — and here’s why.
Plus, we’re joined by Texans center Jarrett Patterson for an in-depth interview on building cohesion up front, learning from Tytus Howard, and what it takes to grow as an offensive line unit when the stakes rise.
We also react to social media comments and tap into what Texans fans have been buzzing about all week.
This isn’t a must-win — but it’s a moment.A measuring stick.A test of whether Houston is ready for what’s coming next.
