In this special edition of Locked On Texans, we dive deep into Houston’s path to victory against Sean McVay and the LA Rams.

📌 Key Topics:

Why slot coverage could make or break the Texans’ defense.

Jalen Pitre’s struggles in the slot — can he turn it around?

How McVay uses his top playmakers in the slot to dictate defenses.

The Rams’ Achilles heel: a porous run defense that gave up massive yardage in 2024.

Is pounding the rock Houston’s best chance to win? And what does Jakob Johnson’s activation really mean?

The Rams only held opponents under 100 rushing yards 4 times all season — so is this game about to become a ground-and-pound showdown?

💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments! Will the Texans win this one with their defense, or by running straight through the Rams’ front?
