The Texans have allowed the least PPG of any team through 5 weeks over the last 3 seasons.
Their 12.2 PPG allowed is tied with the 2022 Niners/Bills.
If the season were to end today the Texans would pick:
11
43
47
73
111
115
For a team that is going to have to pay a lot of top end players coming up that is potentially really huge for the future.
AFC as open as it’s been in a LONG time.
Texans have a real chance next week vs a good Seattle team to show up and get themselves into a real position to push for a run down the stretch.
The Texans worked out the following OTs today via PatTalksTexans on X:
Nicholas Petit-Frere
D’Ante Smith
Will Anderson Jr. through 6 weeks via @NextGenStats:
20.8% QBP (1st)
15 Quick Pressures (1st)
0.75 Get Off (3rd)
2.45 TTP (6th)
26 Pressures (3rd)
Should be a top contender for DPOTY.
Elaborating on my Jaguars turnover variance take from these last week or so:
QBs facing the Jaguars & Trevor Lawrence have the same amount of TWPs & Fumbles via PFF with 8 TWPs and 2 Fumbles.
- For Lawrence, those have resulted in 6 turnovers (60%)
- For QBs facing Jacksonville that has resulted in TWELVE turnovers (120%)
You cannot sustain that kind of play over a whole season sample size.
Where Texans DBs rank in Coverage EPA through 6 weeks:
4. Jalen Pitre (-16.6)
29. Calen Bullock (-5.3)
130. Derek Stingley Jr. (+5.4)
142. Kamari Lassiter (+7.5)
Worth every penny for JP5.
NFL Teams in the Top 12 in EPA/Play on offense & defense currently (before week 6 games) via @NextGenStats
- Colts
- Lions
- Texans
- Packers
- Chiefs
- Rams
Colts are genuinely a very good football team but the Jags don’t really scare me.
They are very lucky to be 4-2 with poor QB play and their defense forcing an unsustainable amount of turnovers.
Indy is really good however and that’s going to be really tough to catch.
