Ryans has already emphasized the interplay between the Texans' defensive line and the Chargers' offensive line in his comments to the media this week, and for good reason. Houston duo Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. lead the top team in ESPN pass rush win rate and combined for 23 sacks and 33 tackles this season.
On the other hand, LA will get Rashawn Slater back at left tackle, moving Joe Alt back to the right side after filling in for Slater last week. According to Pro Football Focus, the Chargers duo allowed just 9 sacks and 42 pressures this season. But with a defensive head coach on the Texans' sideline, Houston will likely find ways to isolate Hunter and Anderson with chances against Los Angeles' interior offensive line, a much weaker group than the tackles.
