X-factors
Broncos: S Talanoa Hufanga. Broncos cornerback Riley Moss told The Post that Denver played more two-high safety looks in Pat Surtain II’s second-half absence, and coordinator Vance Joseph will likely rely heavily upon Hufanga and safety partner Brandon Jones to give some help to whoever starts on Nico Collins (could be Moss, could be Kris Abrams-Draine). This week is a good test of Hufanga’s evolution in coverage.
Texans: WR Jaylin Noel. The rookie might be establishing himself as Houston’s No. 2 WR after racking up a combined nine catches for 140 yards the past couple of weeks. The Texans need another wideout to step up against a Broncos defense that’ll likely scheme heavily against Collins in Surtain’s absence.
