Sanchez at home vs Texans.
Texans are 32nd in pass ypg allowed (301.3) + pass tds allowed (22)
Flacco at Carolina.
Panthers are 5th in pass ypg allowed (195.2) + have allowed 14 tds.
HOWEVER,
we all know that the Jets are a run-first team, and the Jaguars gashed the Texans run D last week. The Jets may be gameplanning to copycat what the Jags did with MJD last week. (Last week, Gerrard threw 326 yds, 2 tds, 0 ints vs the Texans; MJD had 24 carries for 100 yds and 2 tds. Keep in mind that about 60-70 of those yds and 1 of those tds for Gerrard came on the hail mary)
ALSO,
Sanchez has a bruised right calf which limited him in practice Wed. Thurs he returned to full practice.
Add to this that the Panthers are starting a third string QB, which means the Ravens will (should) have a MASSIVE time of possession advantage over Carolina.
Run stats:
Carolina is 27th with 131.6 ypg and 7 tds.
Houston is 15th with 108.3 ydg and 8 tds.
