10. Jets' rank for average depth of target
The average depth of target against the Jets’ defense is 7.7 yards, tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th-most in the NFL. Houston needs to drive the ball with receivers Chris Conley and Brandin Cooks, not afraid to take their shots down the field.
9. Houston's rank for percentage of opponent drives ending in scores
43.1% of the drives against the Texans end in scores, the ninth-highest in the league. Houston will need to keep the Jets’ rate low and not let New York put points on the board on half of their drives if they seek to gain their third win of the season.
8. Texans' rank for missed tackles
The Texans are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Las Vegas Raiders for the eighth-most missed tackles in the league with 74. If Houston continues to miss tackles, they will allow the Jets to find hidden yardage and have chunk plays.
7. Houston's rank for red zone conversion rate
The Texans have converted on 52.2% of their red zone trips, the seventh-lowest in the NFL. Houston can’t play at the Jets’ level if they hope to win, and they will need to convert on their red zone visits, of which they have the second-fewest in the league at 23.
6. Tyrod Taylor's sacks
Taylor has been dropped six times this season, but he did not take a single sack in the 22-13 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. If Taylor can stay upright, he can pick apart the Jets’ secondary.
5. Zach Wilson's percentage of being sacked on dropbacks
Wilson gets sacked on 5.0% of his dropbacks, the highest rate in the NFL. Even though the Texans will be without Jordan Jenkins and Jonathan Greenard is questionable, Houston should still be able to generate pressure.
4. Texans' rank for takeaways
Consider this: the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals have 19 takeaways, the same as the Texans, and they are atop their respective divisions. All three teams are tied for the fourth-most takeaways in the NFL.
3. Jets' interceptions
New York has gathered three interceptions the entire season, the absolute fewest in the NFL. Tyrod Taylor, who threw three picks in one game in Week 9, can’t give the Jets any freebies.
2. Jets' rank for average starting field position
New York’s average starting field position is their own 25.8-yard line, the second-worst in the NFL. If the Texans can corral the Jets and keep them deep in their own territory, it should help with Houston’s ability to stifle their offense and stall drives.
1. New York's rank for turnovers
The Jets have produced 23 turnovers, the most in the NFL. With the Texans being a takeaway-driven defense, if Houston can’t come up with a few extra possessions, it will give New York at shot at winning.
