As for the game, both teams come in with identical 3-3 records. The Texans hope to avoid another slow start. Against Indianapolis last Thursday, Houston totaled two yards of offense and fell behind 24-0 after one quarter, but did come back to make it interesting late. It was the fifth time this season Houston has been shut out in the first quarter, including four straight games with the offense averaging 40.5 yards.
The defense could get a boost from the return of No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney, who is still a game time decision. Cornerback Kareem Jackson feels having Clowney available could go a long way to aiding the pass defense.
"It (would) help a lot," Jackson said. "Just going in the game knowing we won't have to cover as long. The guys we've had up front, they've been doing a great job thus far and to add (Clowney) is definitely going to make things that much better."
