Texans vs. Rams history

Heading into their Week 1 game, the Texans and Rams have gone head to head just five times. (While the Rams franchise dates back to the 1930s, the Texans joined NFL play as an expansion team in 2002.) In their handful of meetings, the Rams have won all but one. The two teams last played in 2021; the Rams won that one, too, 38-22.

Texans stats + FYIs

➡️ In C.J. Stroud's first two seasons, the quarterback led Houston to not only two division titles, but to two postseason wins. Stroud's next challenge is to get the Texans past the Divisional round (where he's 0-2), and into the franchise's first-ever AFC Championship Game.
➡️ With Will Anderson Jr. starring on defense (and wrapping up 11 sacks), the 2024 Texans allowed the 7th-fewest passing yards in the league (3,753).

➡️ Next up: In Week 2, head coach DeMeco Ryan's squad is set to play a Monday night game at their NRG Stadium home against the Buccaneers.

Rams stats + FYIs

➡️ In 16 games last season, quarterback Matthew Stafford posted 3,762 passing yards, and 20 touchdowns – enough to help the team to a somewhat-unexpected first-place division finish, and an even-more shocking win over the Vikings in the NFC Wild Card round. As of this update, the 37-year-old Stafford, who was sidelined during the preseason with a back injury, was in line to start on Sunday, per the team depth chart compiled by CBSSports.com.
➡️ The Rams were one of the more generous teams on passing defense, allowing 4,101 yards, the 10th-most in the league. They gave up the 11th-most rushing yards (2,210).
