Broncos vs. Texans: Week Nine Preview

The Denver Broncos face off against the Houston Texans in their final game before the bye week. We take a look at all that Broncos Country needs to know.

We are at the halfway point of the season. Record wise, the Denver Broncos are not looking so hot. It is looking like week after week the chances at playoffs are dwindling. There is no doubt that Sunday is a must win game against a Houston Texans team that looks like a playoff contender.

And they have added one more piece. You can thank the Denver Broncos for that piece. At the trade deadline, the Denver Broncos traded longtime wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to Houston. The fact that Denver was a seller at the deadline is very telling in what they think will happen this season.

If they want to change the momentum and make a run, it all starts on Sunday against these Texans. A win would put Denver at 4-5. It is not the most favorable record. But looking towards their remaining opponents, 4-5 can allow Denver to make a bit of a run.

However, a loss would drop them to 3-6. A lot of questions will need to be resolved during the bye week. There are many areas they would look. But the focus is on the Houston Texans. This will be a season defining game.

What is the game plan going into this game? Hopefully a lot that works and less of what does not work. Let us dive right into the important details of the game.
