A weekly look at what the Houston Texans must fix.
The Texans will face the New York Giants in Week 3 after convincing wins against Washington and Oakland. Their plus-five turnover margin is tied with the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals for second in the NFL. Those forced turnovers have helped the Texans win despite being outgained in both games.
On the way to a 30-14 win in Oakland, Houston allowed Raiders receiver James Jones 112 receiving yards -- 77 in the first half as the Texans built a 17-0 lead. He averaged 12.4 yards per catch and averaged 15.4 yards per catch in the first half.
To declare anything a "must fix" after that game seems nitpicky. The Texans had a 27-0 lead and gave up the second touchdown in garbage time as the Raiders ran a two-minute drill to get their rookie quarterback that experience. But the Texans are in the bottom 10 in the NFL in passing yards allowed, giving up 252 per game, and that could bite them against teams with better ball security.
