PLAYER NOTES

–OLB Jadeveon Clowney (back) is a question mark for this game.

–WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) could miss his third game of the year.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: WR Will Fuller V. Fuller caught eight of nine passes thrown to him in his first game of the season, including a 39-yard touchdown pass.

GAME PLAN: The Texans will try to cut down on their penalties and turnovers. They’ll continue to lean on their running game and wide receiver Will Fuller V.

Defensively, the Texans have to slow down wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Saquon Barkley and get after statuesque quarterback Eli Manning.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH

–Texans LB Benardrick McKinney vs. Giants RB Saquon Barkley. McKinney is a big, strong fast linebacker with plenty of range. Barkley is a home-run threat who can go all the way.

–Texans CB Johnathan Joseph vs. Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. Joseph is up in years at age 34. Beckham is extremely dangerous with speed to burn.
