Falcons vs. Texans: Silencing J.J. Watt and five key matchups

1. Devonta Freeman vs. Texans run defense — The Texans run defense is ranked 19th in the NFL, and Freeman is coming off the back of a 30-carry, 141-yard and three-touchdown performance against Dallas. Houston only allowed 57 rushing yards to Tampa Bay last week, but a much tougher test faces them this week with a much-improved Atlanta run game.

Freeman is on this week’s injury report with a toe injury and has been limited in practice, but offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has said he will be ready to go Sunday.
