Miller did manage to produce 45 yards on 12 carries in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs, perhaps a sign of better things to come. “Too many penalties. Dropped balls”. We had a couple interceptions, but overall I think we won the turnover battle basically.
The Texans, 2-0, proved far from flawless themselves but did just enough to beat the Chiefs, 1-1.
The Chiefs committed three first half turnovers on their way to falling behind 13-3 at the intermission.
Much of that starts with Smith, who completed only 20 of 37 passes for 186 yards. Fuller finished the day with over 100 yards again as he hauled in four catches for 104 yards.
The Texans sought revenge for dropping two games to the Chiefs a year ago, including a 30-0 playoff loss. For us, we have to go up there prepared as if he’s going to play. “Just sloppy, sloppy football”.
“You can’t do that in this league”, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after the game.
The Texans brought a mix of pressure against Smith, blitzing one moment and then dropping eight men in coverage the next.
Still, Houston ought to squeeze out more points than New England, with Tom Brady’s temp backup, Jimmy Garoppolo, likely out with a sprained left shoulder. Together the duo accounted for 58 percent of his completions and 81 percent of his yards.
What happens if Houston grabs a second-half lead?
Santos added another 35-yard field goal at the end of an 8-play, 52-yard drive that took exactly 2:00, and the Texans lead was cut to 16-9.
“I think it starts with me”. “That is something that we don’t condone and it’s not acceptable”.
“I never lost a fumble, ” he said. Nick Palladino threw for 243 yards with five touchdown passes. Other than that, however, the Texans’ special teams should’ve played a lot better.
Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess as he broke Jake Delhomme’s record for most TD passes in franchise history with 122.
“But he’s getting there”, Reid said.
“It seems like whoever fills in for those guys up there seems to do a good job”, Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph said. “There’s somethings that he’ll continue to work on”. “You’ve got to find a way to get in the end zone”.
“He’s a competitive kid”, Reid said.

“I just stuck with the route and trusted Brock just to put the ball in there and let me make a play”, Hopkins said. The Chiefs were able to run effectively despite their starting running back Jamaal Charles being injured. But few would argue that on Sunday, the Chiefs, 1-1, were their own biggest enemies, thanks to lack of ball-security and discipline. But Reid was confident in saying that whenever Charles does return, he will be the same player he was before his knee injury. Chiefs on the board it’s 7-3.
