The Houston Texans 2024-25

With 150 passes completed out of 222 attempts, they have a total of 1,669 passing yards, averaging 278.2 yards per game.

This disparity underscores the importance of Mixon’s role in their quest for postseason success and their need to bolster the rushing attack to complement their potent passing game.
