Where do the Texans rank statistically heading into Week 3?

The Houston Texans (2-0) look to continue their winning ways against undefeated opponents heading into Week 3’s road trip against the Minnesota Vikings . And even though there are questions surrounding Joe Mixon’s health, Houston proved to the nation it’s a threat to go deep into the AFC postseason.

The Texans are coming off a 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears , thanks to a stellar defensive showcase. The Bears’ offense, headlined by No. 1 overall pick Caelb Williams, never found a rhythm due to a seven-sack outing from Houston’s front seven.

Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter combined for three QB takedowns, while Derek Stingely Jr. and Kamari Lassiter each recorded their first interception of the regular season.

Offensively, C.J. Stroud continued his pinpoint-accurate fold with Nico Collins, connecting eight times for 135 yards and a touchdown. Houston must see a better outing from Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, however, if it plans on silencing a Brian Flores-led defense.

With Week 3 on deck, how did the Bears compare to the rest of the NFL last season? Looking at the major metrics (courtesy of Team Rankings , ESPN , The Football Database and StatMuse ), here is where Houston ranked following Week 2:
