Week Three versus Texans

This is a tough game as the Steelers will be at home but they will be facing the AFC South division champs. This team plays well together and makes them a dangerous team. They also have a few stars to fear.

The first star to fear is Deshaun Watson. He is a good quarterback who can beat you with his legs and his arm. He does a very good job of avoiding pass rushers despite not having the best offensive line. The offensive line has also gotten better with the acquisition of Laremy Tunsil.

The second star to fear is JJ Watt. He has had injury issues in his career, but when he’s been healthy, he has been a stellar pass rusher from the interior and also from the edge. I would be surprised if he is not a Hall of Famer when he hangs up his cleats.

There is another group to be aware of with the Texans. It is their receiving core. Although none of them are superstars in my opinion, they all are solid contributors. Will Fuller has emerged in his third and fourth years in the league and is now in his fifth. Randall Cobb has been a longtime contributor for the Packers before he joined the Texans and Brandin Cooks has helped various teams over the years.
