Is this the week the Houston Texans will get right?
They're going to have to play well enough on defense if they plan to match up against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Texans look to move to 1-1 on the season against Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense after a less-than-stellar defensive outing against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, the AFC North franchise is ready to get rolling to 2-0, proving this season will be different with Zac Taylor at the helm.
While the Bengals are listing Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow as questionable for Sunday's matchup, he's expected to play. The same can't be said for Texans Pro Bowl wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) or defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee) as the duo will miss Sunday's action, putting
pressure on Houston's depth to deliver.
Houston's defense must improve if it plans on getting back to title contention. Houston's defense allowed 400-plus yards to MVP quarterback Josh Allen and four touchdowns, including a 34-yard touchdown pass to Josh Palmer on the final drive to take a 36-31 lead.
Will the Texans secure a win in Week 2? Can Cincinnati remain undefeated? Is there were fans start to hit the panic button on Houston moving forward?
