Less than 24 hours till game time.

I'd like to see a few less flags.

Want to watch our OL against Denver DL.

Texans are 7 pt dogs and getting plenty of takers. I would have set it at about 11....

Over half the Texans roster is composed of players with 2 years or less experience (including the camp fodder, of course). Young teams are like a box of chocolates... Should be interesting....

Newt is going to have to bloc either Von Miller or Demarcus Ware on the edge,
in other words no place for him to hide. Wow, that's scary.

I don't think you'll see more than a half of Peyton Manning. Why expose him to Clowney and Watt for an extended period of time? The rest of the first team will probably play longer.

There's been some talk that the Texans won't be going with their starters for as long as is typical for the third preseason game. The thinking is that they got the quality reps in the joint practices during the week under conditions less likely to result in injury (full speed wrap-up with no tackling to the ground, I believe).

Broncos take the opening kickoff and drive down but a big sack by Ricardo Mathews leads to them settling for a 32-yd FG.

Broncos 3, Texans 0

7:24 left in the 1st qtr.

Attaway, D.

Texans get to midfield on their first possession and punt. Then, hold the Broncos to one 1st down before they have to punt. Punt goes out at the Texan 45 - Texans ball, good field position...

1:28 left in the 1st qtr.

Bouye with a nice INT of Manning. Texans ball at their 43 with 12:59 left in the half.

Texans march down the field and score a rushing TD on Grimes 1 yard run. Hero of the drive = Grimes.

Texans 7, Broncos 3

8:23 left in the half.

Prater misses on a 49-yard FG. Texans are going to have the ball at their 39 with 2:05 left in the half.
