Can the Houston Texans avoid a dreaded 0-3 start for the second time in as many years?
The Texans look to move to stop the bleeding en route to picking up their first win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 on the road at Lucas Oil Stadium. Houston has started slowly out of the gate in the DeMeco Ryans era, starting the year 0-2 three times in the four seasons, but the franchise is trying to avoid an 0-3 start for the third time in seven years, dating back to the final days of Bill O'Brien.
Last week, Houston's offense sputtered behind insufficient play-calling and terrible on-field execution. QuarterbackC.J. Stroud threw for 353 yards against Cincinnati, but never could find the end zone as Joe Burrow and Co. coasted to a 20-6 win at Reliant
Stadium.
As for the Colts, Daniel Jones led Houston's AFC South rival to a 13-10 lead entering the second quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs before Patrick Mahomes came to life. The game went to overtime, with each team kicking a field goal, but a pickup of 22 from Kenneth Walker III set up the game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker as time expired was the difference in a tie and a 33-30 Chiefs win.
