Official Texans vs. Rams Game Thread, 10/31/2021

[Arky]

The 1-6 Houston Texans host the 6-1 Los Angeles Rams this Sunday in an early game. The Texans are coming off a 31-5 road loss to the Arizona Cardinals while the Rams are coming off a 28-19 home win over the Detroit Lions.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford is having a very good year (313 yds/game, 19 TD, 4 INT, 116.7 rating) and in the league MVP conversation. His top RB is Darrell Henderson Jr. (417 yds, 4.3 avg.) and favorite receiver is Cooper Kupp (56/809 yds, 14.4 avg.).

The Texans seem to have issues everywhere. Disorganized, under-talented, rudderless. The Rams should have no problem.

Rams 27, Texans 5

(Texans become the 1st NFL team to score 5 pts. two weeks in a row.)
