The Philadelphia Eagles meet the Houston Texans in one of the NFL Games on Sunday at the NRG Stadium, Houston, TX.
After losing to Arizona 24-20 last Sunday, the Eagles want to bounce back against the Texans in what is considered a decisive game for both teams. With the presence of Nick Foles as the starting quarterback, the Eagles haven’t lost back-to-back games. This would be a great challenge.
Against the defense of the Cardinals, the Eagles had three turnovers. The Eagles are prone to turnovers as they committed 12 in the last four games.
“I have to do a better job,” said Foles. “Words can’t describe it. I have to keep working on fundamentals, footwork and decision-making. I’m going to keep studying film and keep working. It’s all correctable and I can fix it. My words don’t mean anything. I have to go out there and prove it.”
Foles completed 36 of 62 passes for 411 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions. The spread offense of the Eagles has been the key in most of their wins.
Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper are the primary targets of Foles in the past game. However, Jordan Matthews and Zach Ertz can be contributors also in the passing game.
Offensively, Philadelphia averages 283.6 in passes and 115.1 in rushes. Defensively, Philadelphia yields 266.9 yards in passing and 116.7 in rushing.
Coming off from a 30-16 victory over the Titans, the Houston Texans want continuity in their direction.
Running back Arian Foster rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns in 20 attempts. It was one of the best performances of Foster this season. If Foster would continue to be dominant, then the Texans will have a better chance of getting into the playoff.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is beginning to make the difference for Houston. he completed 19 of 35 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown. Fitzpatrick is becoming efficient in the offensive attacks of his team.
Offensively, Houston averages 213.1 yards in passing and 139.5 in rushing. Defensively, Houston yields 271.4 in passing and 108.2 in rushing.
This would be a gigantic game for both teams and whoever wins would have a better journey for a playoff run.
