The Houston Texans could set a standard this week away from NRG Stadium.
The Texans head north to take on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings in what could be the top game of the early slate of matchups. Both teams are coming off convincing wins where despite what the score says, a loss was never in sight.
For Houston, everything starts with the offense. Joe Mixon is likely out with an ankle injury and Dameon Pierce will not play because of a hamstring. C.J. Stroud must trust the passing attack if Houston wants to set the tone and remain undefeated before Jacksonville arrives next Sunday.
To get an inside look at Minnesota’s offseason, the progress of Sam Darnold and overall expectations for Sunday’s showdown, Texans Wire reached out to Andrew Harbaugh, managing editor of Vikings Wire, to break down everything Houston fans should expect when perhaps the NFL’s biggest sleeper takes the field.
