* .500 - The Texans are 4-4 after the bye week over the last eight years. Last year, the Texans came out of the bye week and beat Miami 20-12 to get to a .500 record after bye weeks since 2017.
* 9:00 CST - On Monday night the Texans will play the second latest game in the history of the franchise, kicking off at 9:00 PM CST. The only later game was the win over the artist formerly known as the San Diego Chargers in the opener of 2013.
* 4 - Seattle QB Sam Darnold will start on Monday night against the Texans for the fourth time. Each start came with a different team.
* 3 - Darnold, Kerry Collins and former Texan Ryan Fitzpatrick are the three QBs that also started against the Texans with four different teams. Fitzpatrick actually beat the Texans in 2005 with a fifth team, but he didn't start that game, so it doesn't count as a fifth team.
* 2 - Darnold has a 106.2 passer rating with 738 yards and six touchdowns in the first three starts against the Texans. As a member of the Jets in 2018, he was nudged out of a win by a late Texans comeback, but with Carolina in 2021 and Minnesota in 2024, Darnold was magnificent in those two wins.
* 573 - The last time that C.J. Stroud played a full game alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba as teammates at Ohio State, Stroud threw for a Rose Bowl record 573 yards against Utah.
* 347 - The last time that Jaxon Smith-Njigba played a full game alongside C.J. Stroud as teammates at Ohio State, JSN had 15 receptions for a Rose Bowl record 347 yards against Utah.
* 1 - They'll meet for the first time since entering the league together back in 2023.
* Okay, that'll do it for this week. Tough one on Monday night, no question, but it should be a heck of a matchup late night out in Seattle.
