Texans Injury Updates:
Aireontae Ersery - Questionable (Thumb)
Trent Brown - Out (Ankle/Knee)
Would expect Tytus Howard to move outside to RT & Blake Fisher at LT if Ersery cannot go.

Enjoy your holiday season with C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins!
If the Chiefs could somehow beat the Broncos tonight that would made the Texans as close to a lock for playoffs as possible without officially clinching.
At that point, the Texans would likely get in based off SOV even if they went 0-2 and Indy went 2-0.
Highly unlikely but something to remember for tonight
Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
C.J. Stroud when targeting in breaking routes this season:
74.8% Completion Percentage (2nd)
9.9 YPA (4th)
+0.54 EPA/DB (2nd)
WR Nico Collins has run the highest % of in breaking routes among all WRs this season.
C.J. Stroud vs Man Coverage in 2025:
63.6% Completion Percentage (3rd)
7.4 YPA (8th-most)
13 TDs - 0 INTs (Most TDs without a INT among qualified QBs)
He’s been excellent against man coverage this season where in past seasons he faired better against zone.
The Top CBs in the NFL at yards per target in Zone Coverage this season:
1. Derek Stingley Jr. (4.1)
2. Kamari Lassiter (4.4)
Best CB duo in the NFL.
Aireontae Ersery’s rookie season so far:
- 7.9% pressure rate allowed (10th best among LTs this year)
- 4th lowest by a rookie at LT since 2018 (min. 200 pass blocks)
Building block for the Texans OL moving forward.
C.J. Stroud has turned the ball over on just 1.4% of his pressured dropbacks this season (2nd lowest among qualified QBs)
- He’s averaging 0.81 seconds to throw after pressure (quickest mark of his career)
- 8.4 air yards per attempt under pressure (fewest of his career)
- 10.1% throw away rate on pressured dropbacks (up from 7.1% in 2024)
There has very clearly been an effort from Stroud & the offensive staff to not try and force things while just taking what the defense gives you.
