The Houston Texans are off to a promising 2-0 start, reflecting on a challenging previous season. In a tight 19-13 victory against the Chicago Bears, their defense stood out despite a lackluster second half offensively. Quarterback C.J. Stroud acknowledged that their performance could improve, especially with the absence of key running backs due to injuries.
Defensively, the Texans excelled, pressuring Chicago's rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams. The Texans must address their running game for their upcoming match against the Minnesota Vikings, while kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn's strong performance in field goals has been a bright spot.
