—After flat out refusing to throw the ball downfield due to their own ineptitude, fear, and lack of talent, or just barely missing, the Gates of Hell have swung open. Opponents have unleashed imps, abominations, goat demons, and tormentors against the Houston Texans.
In the last three weeks, the teams that have faced the Texans have attempted 24 deep passes (passes traveling 15+ yards). Andrew Luck, Sam Darnold, and Nick Foles have completed 15 of these attempts for 489 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and averaged 20.4 yards an attempt. This past week, Foles completed 5 of his 7 attempts for 205 yards and one sea-to-shining-sea touchdown to Nelson Agholor.
