We saw it last week when the Texans faced the Packers, C.J. Stroud was under intense pressure, and as a result ended up having one of the worst games in his entire career. As was the case last season, Stroud is a much worse quarterback when facing pressure, and this time he will not have his favourite safety valve in Nico Collins. Having Buckner back will be huge for the Colts’ defensive line, but the most important player so far rushing the passer is Latu. Tytus Howard has been solid as usual for the Texans this season, but his status for the game is questionable, and backup tackle Blake Fisher has been really bad in limited action, allowing 8 total pressures on just 65 snaps.
