As we've done lately, one of the first things we do when streaming a defense is to find who is playing the Houston Texans and Tom Savage. This week, that's the Arizona Cardinals.

Since taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson two weeks ago, Savage has taken five sacks and committed five turnovers in two Houston losses. In those games, the Texans have scored just 21 total points.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals defense has been hit or miss on the season. Through nine games, the Cards' defense has been a top-12 unit in four weeks, but they've also finished outside the top 20 in three weeks. Arizona's defense ranks in the middle of the pack when it comes to sacks (14th, 23 sacks), but they've generated the fourth-most quarterback hits (64), which suggests their sack total should be higher.

Now they get to square off against Savage and a Texans offensive line that has struggled all season. The Texans have allowed the fourth-most sacks (31) on the year and seventh-most hits on the quarterback (64). Vegas has the Cardinals' as a 1.5-point road favorite in this game, which should be appealing for both defenses as Blaine Gabbert could start for the Cardinals.
