The Houston Texans are gearing up for their 2024 season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, facing the challenge of containing the dynamic duo of quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor.

Both players have limited previous interaction, playing only two snaps together last season due to injuries. Richardson's mobility will test the Texans' defense, which is readying for a unique offensive scheme.

Defensive coordinator Matt Burke noted that while there's familiarity with the overall Colts’ strategy, the specifics of Richardson's and Taylor's combined impact remain to be seen. Success against them hinges on discipline and instinct, with Texans players emphasizing the importance of preparation and execution.
