Week 11 – Sunday November 19th

@ Houston Texans

On the road again go the Cardinals.  This time it is a trip to see the Texans.  This is only the second trip ever for the Cardinals to Houston against the Texans franchise, the last being a 30-19 loss in 2005.

Houston has a fantastic defense but still has an unsettled offense.  They drafted quarterback Deshaun Watson out of Clemson last week.  The big question here is will he be the starting quarterback by the time week 11 comes rolling around?

Watson was taken right in front of the Cardinals pick at number 13 of the first round.  We will never know what the Cardinals would have done had Watson been there for the taking?

We also don’t know about the health of defensive end J.J. Watt.  When healthy, he’s about as dominant as it comes.  If the Texans defensive front is healthy this day, or mostly healthy, then it could be a long afternoon for the Palmer and his offensive line.
