The Texans are led by the incredibly obtuse Billy O' Brien, and that alone gives us quite an advantage.
Watson can be great, and awful in the same game, though obviously not as wildly inconsistent as Josh Allen. But it's also obvious that the Texans offense is not as explosive without Fuller.
The key to HOU is their defense. Up front, they can't generate any kind of consistent pass rush with their down linemen. They have to manufacture pressure by bringing LBs/S/CBs. That means their secondary was to play really well short-handed when they blitz. This is the type of situation Pat feasts on.
Also, the Texans defense is one of the worst in the league in the RZ, one of the worst on 3rd down, and one of the worst against the pass overall.
And those tendencies were on full display yesterday.
To wit: the Texans defense gave up the most yards of the four teams that played on Saturday, 425. Their secondary gave up 264 yards to the 22nd best offense that only averaged 201 yards passing for the season.
And their rushing defense isn't any better. On the season they gave up an average of 121 yards/game, but yesterday they gave up 172 yards on the ground to the Bills.
In fact, when you look at the game stats overall, such as first downs, 26-19 in BUF favor, and total yards, 425 vs. 360 again in the Bills' favor, HOU should've probably lost yesterday's game. The Texans only won because Josh Allen is a turnover machine.
The reality is that combined with Andy's 'bye week' success, this game probably won't even be close. The Chiefs will probably be up by at least two scores going into half-time, and then our defense will simply strangle Billy's stumbling offense in the fourth. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs are up by as much as 4 scores by the start of the fourth.
