Texans prepare to face dual-threat quarterback Marcus Mariota

HOUSTON -- For the second straight week, the Houston Texans are facing a quarterback they have never played before.

In last week’s 27-0 loss to the New England Patriots, the Texans’ defense struggled against rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett. This Sunday, Houston will face Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, last year’s No. 2 draft pick.

The Texans swept the season series with the Titans last year, but they faced quarterback Zach Mettenberger in both games as Mariota was out with a knee injury.

In 15 career games, Mariota has completed 62.
