Indy is giving up 307.2 yards per game through the air, which ranks 28th in the NFL.

Brock Osweiler hasn’t been performing as the Texans hoped when they signed him this offseason. He has thrown for just 1,133 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing only 58 percent of his passes. He could be without Will Fuller today as well, who has been his top receiver in 2016. Fuller is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. The team has been relying a lot of Lamar Miller, who has rushed for 371 yards on 101 carries, but is without a touchdown.
