The Houston Texans aim for a 3-0 start against the Minnesota Vikings, who are also unbeaten. The Texans will be without key running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce, leading to Cam Akers getting the start. His performance will be crucial as the team's running game impacts offensive pressure.
This marks Akers' first start since his time with the Los Angeles Rams before being traded to the Vikings. As players like Danielle Hunter and Stefon Diggs return to Minnesota, the matchup promises a fascinating tactical battle.
