Giants-Texans pregame thoughts:
• There are different games during the season when you feel like you can learn a lot about a team. This feels like one of those games after the coaches turned up the heat this week. Had Harbaugh calling out a running back — any running back — to step up and Dennard Wilson putting the defense's effort on blast. This team has proven to be mentally tough this season, so we'll see how they respond today.
• JJ McCarthy is a total wild card. Really impossible to predict what we'll see him from today. But I do expect the offense to shift back to what we saw in the opener. McCarthy's legs should help open up some lanes on zone read. But the Texans have a stout run defense. Won't be easy to just ground-and-pound their way through this one.
• Cam Skattebo is out of the doghouse. Expecting a time share with Tyrone Tracy, with Devin Singletary mixed in. Harbaugh hoping someone emerges and they can ride that back.
• Malik Nabers has been on a tear: 6-112-1,…

There's diminishing returns, yes, but if the NFL's current sack leader, Houston's Will Anderson, had the same sack-per-snap production as Walker, he'd have 13 sacks right now instead of his NFL-best 7.5. Buffalo's Greg Rousseau would have 14.

Stroud has been efficient with 9 of 14 passing for 163 yards, one score and no interceptions for a 128.0 passer rating.
