The Houston Texans (5-4) host the Arizona Cardinals (2-8) in an inter-conference battle on Sunday afternoon in NFL Week 11 action.
It's an exciting time to be a Texans fan right now. The team are emerging as playoff contenders with futuristic head coach, rock-solid young defensive leader and a star rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud, who is a lock to win offensive Rookie of the Year and a genuine MVP contender.
After two chaotic wins against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals, Houston enters Week 11 knowing that a win could put them in pole position to secure a spot in the playoff. A loss, however, would usher the Texans back into the mediocrity that characterizes most of the AFC.
The Cardinals are no pushovers, but it doesn't seem they will be going very far this season, lacking both high-end talent and depth. The visitors hit the road with franchise quarterback Kyler Murray in tow after he made his season debut in a 25-23 win over Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. Murray’s return from injury helped his side snap a six-game losing skid and they will now be looking to make it back-to-back wins here.
