The Houston Texans’ defense presents unique problems for the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. Their run defense is near tops in the league, as I’ve documented, so Nick Foles will need a big game for the offense to be productive. To do that, the Eagles will have to be cognizant of the Texans’ tendencies and craft a solid gameplan around them.
What are those tendencies? In the run game, the Eagles could have issues staying ahead of the sticks if they try to hard to be “balanced”. One reason for that is how the Texans deploy Jadeveon Clowney in running situations.
