- THE BLITZ projects the Colts to call the 2nd-most plays on offense on the slate this week with 67.5 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.

- Opposing offenses have rushed for the most yards in football (170 per game) vs. the Houston Texans defense since the start of last season.
Cons
