The Texans 275 yards per game through the air ranks #2-best in football this year. It's easy to see why they've done so well through the air when you notice the quality of their offensive line, which ranks #10 in the league in pass protection. This presents a decided advantage for Houston given that the Bills haven't had much success in stopping the pass this year, giving up 6.04 yards per target (#31-worst in the NFL).

Opposing air attacks have notched 176 yards per game against Houston this year (#27 in football). Opposing ball-carriers have ranked #31 against them with 3.77 yards per ground attempt. This Texans defense hits their peak effectiveness when it comes to defending opposing tight ends, keeping them in check at just 15 yards per game (#2-best in the league). A strong argument could be made that their worst position group is their defensive tackles, who rank just #30 in the league when it comes to run-stopping.
