The Houston Texans knew that offense could be hard to come by after Tank Dell went down for the year against the Broncos last week. Things got even worse when Nico Collins left Sunday's game early with a calf injury, leaving CJ Stroud without his top two targets.

Houston managed only 6 points against the Jets, and lost the game 30-6, falling to 7-6 on the season. TE Brevin Jordan was the top pass catcher on offense, posting an underwhelming 3 catches for 35 yards. Noah Brown and John Metchie didn't factor into the game at all. Brown was held without a single catch, and Metchie hauled in one pass for 6 yards.

One thing is for sure, this offense has no chance without Tank Dell and/or Nico Collins.

What happened to the defense?

It's easy to blame the offense for the loss, considering how many injuries they were dealing with.

But the defense deserves their fair share of blame, allowing RB Breece Hall to easily catch 8 passes for 86 yards to go along with his 40 yards rushing. Receiver Garrett Wilson also had a big day, going over 100 receiving yards on 9 receptions.

The Texans had to come into this matchup knowing these are the two most important players to keep in check. Instead, they had no answers for Hall and Wilson, as Zach Wilson carved up DeMeco Ryans' defense all afternoon.

And just when we thought things couldn't get worse, Texans QB CJ Stroud left the game late with a concussion. His availability for their next game is at best uncertain. More often than not, players usually don't't come back the next game after entering the concussion protocol.

Which means Davis Mills or Case Keenum will likely be the starter against the Titans on Sunday.
