    Both teams have plenty of offensive weapons, but it'll be hard not to focus on the quarterback position when the Green Bay Packers (4-2) host the Houston Texans (5-1) Sunday at Lambeau Field.

    Though Packers coach Matt LaFleur didn't want to compare the two signal-callers Monday, Green Bay's Jordan Love and Houston's C.J. Stroud combined to throw seven touchdown passes last Sunday.

    While the spotlight will be on the passing game, whoever runs the ball more consistently might be the key to victory.

    Running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce returned to the Texans' offense last week and combined for 178 rushing yards and three touchdowns, Mixon had missed three games with an ankle injury and Pierce had missed four with a hamstring injury.

    Meanwhile, the Packers are averaging 167 yards a game on the ground.
