Nose tackle Dontari Poe and defensive end Jaye Howard, made their presence felt early and often with 10 total tackles between the pair.

Watt, who became the second fastest player in National Football League history to earn 75 career sacks with his 1.5 sacks on Sunday, admitted that while he was able to play well today, having to play again in just four days against the New England Patriots could be hard.
The Houston defense led the way, forcing three fumbles for a little payback after the Chiefs forced five Texans turnovers in their playoff win. This was due in large part to three lost fumbles. “I think it’s a whole team effort”. (Jadeveon Clowney) and the guys in the back, all the DBs are playing so well, the linebackers.
Expect to see the Texans establish the run early with Miller and subsequently take some shots with Brock Osweiler using play-action. This is the first year Houston has this caliber of an offense together, they should get better as the season moves along given they will have better familiarity with each other. “I’m not concerned about that at all”. Kansas City’s offense will have to play a much more efficient brand of football for all four quarters to ward off Houston’s top-notch D – a task that may be too tall against such an aggressive and talented defense. “That’s exactly what took place in that moment”.
“DeAndre did a heck of a job”. Get instant access to the I pad, I Phone, Laptop or net-pad. Spencer Ware led the Chiefs on the ground with 70 yards and a touchdown on 11 attempts, however it says a lot about Ware when he also led the Chiefs receivers with 7 receptions for 129 yards.
Hopkins said he loves to go against cornerbacks who are as good as Peters. We knew will Fuller was fast after his 4.32 40 at the Combine, but he plays so much faster it’s scary – and Hopkins is just awesome. I look forward to matchups going up against big corners like him. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route. Fortunately for him and the Texans, the defense was able to get the ball back quickly thanks to J.J. “There has been a lot of history”, Smith said.
Two Texans field goals pushed the Texans’ advantage to 13-3 at halftime. Not bad but the Texans are going to need more out of the man, they shelled out 72 million dollars to in the offseason. The officials saw the replay as inconclusive, so the incomplete pass call was upheld. I really think it’s penalties. Peters was burned repeatedly by Allen, with Gaines and Nelson also struggling.
The Chiefs managed to stay in the game and have a chance to win despite committing so many penalties (nine for 77 yards) and three turnovers.
But this Texans team is not the same as it was a season ago. On four punt returns, receiver Tyreek Hill had 63 yards, including a 32-yard return.
Tennessee went 93 yards on 13 plays over almost six minutes on the game-winning drive.

“It’s not necessarily where we want it to be, but it’s a good team win”, O’Brien said.
