The Texans rank 7th in the NFL in total yards per game, but QB C.J. Stroud remains questionable with a concussion. The Browns are 16th in yards per game with 349.6.
On defense, the Texans have shown big improvement from last season. Their run defense is 6th in the league in terms of yards. In that category, Cleveland ranks 11th. Through the air, the Browns shine on defense, though. Their passing defense is tops in the league, while the Texans are 28th.
Houston is coming off of a huge AFC South win against the Tennessee Titans, so momentum is on their side. That being said, Joe Flacco (yes, that one) has led the Browns to two victories in a row. Both teams are playing good football.
