With Game 3 of the World Series being postponed, the Astros and the Texans will now both be playing on Thursday night, which means both games won't be airing on Fox. The Texans game will now be appearing on Fox's sister station My 20 in Houston, and also available on Amazon. The Texans just played their worst game of the season against the Titans, and now the undefeated Eagles come to town to destroy the Texans in a prime time game.
Is this a blessing in disguise for the Texans, since practically nobody in Houston will watch the Texans get embarrassed by Philly? One could easily make that argument, and we did. Be sure to check out the hilarious video above as we rank which shows are likely to now out rate the Texans in their only prime time game this season.

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.
Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.
When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.
With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
