The Houston Texans’ passing game has struggled, to say the least, since their star wide receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs went down with injuries. However, a large part of this may be due to the offensive line not living up to expectations, as they are currently one of the worst units in football trying to block quarterback C.J. Stroud.

In that time, the Texans have lost two of their past three games and will look to get back on track in a tough matchup against one of the best teams in the league, the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

There are questions as to whether or not Nico Collins and Tank Dell will succeed, but we do know that the Texans defense will be missing a key piece in Will Anderson Jr.. The Lions boast a lethal offense that can run and throw the ball at will. The Texans’ defense will be tested, but they have shown a knack for going big when it matters most.

The Texans need the entire team to play at a top level to eliminate the Lions and get a W back in the win column. Follow us here as we bring you up-to-the-minute live game updates from the matchup between the Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions.
