Texans Defenders J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus

The Houston offense isn’t the only side of the ball that could be in for a big game. The defense may be licking its chops right now, especially considering how porous the Giants offensive line has been over the first two weeks. Giants quarterback Eli Manning has already been sacked eight times over two weeks, and the following picture should tell you all you need to know heading into Week 3 facing a Texans front seven consisting of J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus:

I fully expect Watt, Clowney and Mercilus to wreak havoc in the Giants’ backfield on Sunday. New York’s vulnerability at this moment is its offensive tackles, particularly on the right side with Ereck Flowers. The Texans’ strength on defense is their pass rush from the edges. This is lining up perfectly for the Pro Bowl-caliber pass-rushing trio.

They should absolutely dominant the Giants offensive line.
