Improvement on third down played a significant role in the Houston Texans’ early offensive success in Week 7, and their players have been talking to reporters in the team’s press conferences about how they can keep the momentum they built against the Las Vegas Raiders. Veteran receiver Phillip Dorsett made a salient point on the subject in his comments on Tuesday, telling reporters that success comes down to something very simple.
“You’ve just got to win your match up,” He explained. “Whoever’s across from you. If it’s man coverage, you’ve got to beat them. If it’s zone coverage, you’ve got to find the right spot in the zone. You’ve just got to be smarter. You’ve got to play smart football on third down, and that’s what we’ve got to continue to work on.”
