NRG Stadium to Witness Houston Texans Taking on Arizona Cardinals
As the Houston Texans gear up to face the Arizona Cardinals at NRG Stadium, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Texans, coming off a nail-biting 30-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on November 12th, are looking to capitalize on their momentum.
The last game's statistics reveal a team that is finding its rhythm. With an impressive 544 total yards of offense and a balanced attack that saw them rush for 188 yards while passing for 356 yards, the Texans showcased their ability to dominate both on the ground and through the air. Their defense was equally impressive, racking up four sacks and forcing two interceptions against Cincinnati.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Houston. The team did fumble twice and lost both, which could have been costly if not for their overall strong performance. This is an area where they will need to be more careful against an Arizona team that will be looking to exploit any such mistakes.
The Cardinals should not be underestimated despite traveling to Houston as visitors. They will challenge the Texans' defense and test their offensive line's ability to protect their quarterback from a potentially aggressive pass rush.
Looking back at previous games provides further insight into what fans can expect from Houston in this matchup. In Week 9 against Tampa Bay Buccaneers at NRG Stadium itself, they managed a high-scoring affair with a final score of 39-37 in favor of HOU. That game was marked by an aerial onslaught as they threw for five touchdowns and racked up an astonishing passer rating of 147.8.
In contrast, during Week 8 when facing Carolina Panthers away from home turf on October 29th, HOU struggled offensively but showed tenacity in defense with six sacks recorded – though ultimately falling short by two points (15-13).
What stands out about this Texan squad is its resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity – traits that will serve them well against ARI's formidable lineup.
As we look ahead towards November 19th’s contest scheduled at NRG Stadium kicking off at noon local time (6 PM GMT), it’s clear that HOU has both strengths they can play into as well as weaknesses they must address if they hope to secure another win before their home crowd – who can catch all action live on CBS.
With just days left until these two teams collide on gridiron glory road - one thing remains certain: It promises be another thrilling chapter NFL season narrative!
