Are the Texans players' hopes for victory this week riding on Chargers injuries?

Three weeks in, the National Football League is riddled with parity, sporting two teams with no losses and two teams with no wins. Everyone else in the league is in the middle, either 2-1 or 1-2 . Unfortunately, at 0-2-1, the Houston Texans sit as one of the two teams at the wrong end of the spectrum .

Now, this weekend, here come the Los Angeles Chargers to NRG Stadium this Sunday for a noon kickoff. In a scheduling quirk, this will actually be the second time they will have played the Chargers in their last four home games, going back to the end of the 2021 season. The Chargers represent one of the Texans' four 2021 victories actually, as a David Culley coached outfit was able to squelch the Chargers' playoff chances, 41-29 at NRG Stadium.

Here are four things to watch for in Sunday's matchup, along with a prediction at the bottom of the post:The Texans have improved in some areas over last season, and in others, they've regressed. However, in one area over which they have very little control, the physical condition of their opponents, they've had tremendous luck. The Colts, in week 1, were missing defensive captain Shaquille Leonard.
