The Raiders go back on the road Sunday when they face the host Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.

Geno Smith is expected to start at quarterback for the Raiders after missing last week’s 31-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Raiders (2-12) have dropped eight straight games and remain in the running for the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.

This is the first meeting between the teams since 2022.

The Texans (9-5) have won six straight and feature one of the NFL’s top defenses. Quarterback C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes, two of which went to wide receiver Nico Collins, in last week’s 40-20 victory over Arizona.
