Post Game SummaryStat Savant
atChargers at TexansHouston enters on a stretch of four wins in five outings, while Los Angeles has managed just two wins in its last five. That form gap gives the Texans real momentum heading into this one at NRG Stadium.
Los Angeles will be without offensive lineman Isaiah World, a notable absence up front as Joe Alt and the rest of the Chargers line try to hold up against Houston's pass rush.
Houston is dealing with its own absences, with M.J. Stewart and E.J. Speed both out. That thins the Texans' back end and linebacker corps even as the offense has carried the recent winning stretch.
Nico Collins and Tank Dell give Houston's passing game its top targets, and both will look to build on the team's recent form against a Chargers secondary trying to turn its own season around.
Derius Davis and Jerand Bradley headline the skill-position names Los Angeles will lean on as it tries to reverse its recent slide against a Texans team playing with confidence.
The Chargers sit atop the AFC West, coming off a loss. The Texans sit 4th in the AFC South, 2 games back, losers of 2 straight.
The win pulls the Chargers back to .500 at 1-1. The Chargers are up next home vs Rams (Aug 27), then home vs Cardinals. The Texans are up next at Panthers (Aug 28), then home vs Bills.
