Texans vs. Lions Game Info

Houston Texans (3-7, 1-4 Away) vs. Detroit Lions (4-6, 1-3 Home)
Date: Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020
Time: 12:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Ford Field – Detroit, Michigan
Coverage: CBS

The Texans coming into this game hoping to string together two wins for the first time all season long. It has been a tough go for this team overall. Deshaun Watson has played great, completing 68.9 percent of his passes for 2,883 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. He’s added another 269 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Houston’s biggest problem is their defense. They are allowing 6.1 yards per play, which is tied for the fourth worst in the league. The Texans are also the worst run defense in the league, allowing 5.1 yards per carry.

The Lions, as always, have been inconsistent all season long. They are coming off a loss to the Panthers in which they were shut out 20-0. The Lions appear to be without top wide receiver Kenny Golladay yet again, after he missed practice on Tuesday. However, they are expected to get D’Andre Swift back. Defensively the Lions rank in the bottom half of the league in most categories. Over their past four games, they have allowed 30.5 points per game, and it would have been much more if not for forced turnovers in the end zone last week. If they cannot slow down Watson, it could be another long day for Detroit.
