Houston’s offense has not been able to do much in this game with only two field goals through the first 58 minutes. However, the defense has kept this Bengals offense contained for the most part as the Texans actually have more yards than Cincinnati and the Bengals have only gotten into the red

zone once.

The Texans will hit the road in Week 3 to take on the Indianapolis Colts.
