Official Texans @ Rams Game Thread, 11/12/2017

[Arky]

The 3-5 Houston Texans travel to LA this Sunday to play the 6-2 LA Rams in a late game. The Texans are coming off a 20-14 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts while the Rams are coming off a 51-17 road drubbing of the NY Giants. The Rams have won 3 in a row. Due to a cluster of injuries, the Texans seem to be in full-on train wreck mode while the Rams, led by 2nd year QB Jared Goff, appear to becoming one of the up and comers in the league. The Ram are now the NFL's highest scoring offense with 32.9 ppg.
