Detroit Lions vs. Houston Texans first half live chat, open thread

The Detroit Lions and Houston Texans close out Week 10’s Sunday slate of games with one of the best matchups of the week. The Lions are off to quite possibly their greatest start in franchise history and seem like as legitimate of Super Bowl contenders as anyone else in the league. The Texans aren’t going through a little bit of a rough patch, but with the return of Nico Collins seemingly imminent (but not this week), their offense could get the spark they need. Meanwhile, their defense has helped them get to 6-3 through the first nine weeks of the season.

Injuries along both teams’ fronts could be a big storyline this week. The Texans have one of the best pass rushes in football, but they’re going to be without second-year stud Will Anderson Jr. due to an ankle injury. That said, the Lions’ elite offensive line will be missing it’s blindside protector. Taylor Decker suffered a mid-week shoulder injury and has already been declared out.

In other words, the depth of both teams will be tested on Sunday night. The Lions have survived worse, and the Texans have shown to be a pretty resilient team as well.
