The Houston Texans defense will have their work cut out for them in Week 10 as they take on the Detroit Lions and their top offense.

The Lions offense is No. 1 in scoring and No. 7 in total yards, making them one of the best units in football.

Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke pointed out how dangerous Lions quarterback Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. can be. Brown.

“Yeah, overall, Goff obviously operates at a pretty efficient level,” Burke said. “The offense is designed to get that ball out quickly and he — St. Brown, works really well in all those areas underneath like really well. . Probably one of the best I’ve seen at man vs. zone understanding, when to sit down when to take it next where the soft spots are like it’s just to find those blind spots in your area even if you’re mixing it up he’s got a good feel for it The trust between the two is very high, so I think it’s just a combination of all of those things. The offensive scheme is kind of designed to work really well in that system and then St. Brown has a really good understanding of openness to the man and the area, so when you operate like that, it was pretty clean for them. They definitely have a good connection.”

It won’t be easy for the Texans to get past Goff and St. Brown, but if they find a weakness, they’ll have to exploit it to have a chance to beat the Lions on Sunday Night Football.
