Houston, though, average 3.6 a carry and have run for only 254 yards all season, so the obvious route to exploiting that is one they are poorly equipped for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Houston&#8217;s pass rush is real. Eleven sacks in three games, with Will Anderson Jr. on four of them, against a Dallas line that has conceded three. That mismatch is the case for the home side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, the Texans have scored six touchdowns in three games and have not passed 20 points since Week 1. A defense this good keeps them in every game; the offense has not yet won them one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dak Prescott (DAL, QB):<\/strong> 276 yards against Baltimore, and seven touchdowns to one interception this season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CeeDee Lamb (DAL, WR):<\/strong> Seven catches for 112 yards in Week 3, and 309 receiving yards this season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Will Anderson Jr. (HOU, DE):<\/strong> Two and a half sacks at Indianapolis, four in three games.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C.J.
