The long wait has ended. Kickoff at 7:30pm tonight.

Won't get a long look at the starters, some maybe not at all, but of all the things to watch, I think I am most intrigued by the OL changes.

O'Brien opts to punt on 4th-and-1 at midfield to start a preseason game.

Field position battle already. Dig in.

A couple of good runs by L Miller and then a dud on 3rd down.

Verlander getting rocked. 6-0 Mariners in the top of the 2nd inning.

Touchdown Texans, Weeden to rookie TE Jordan Akins. Drive significantly aided by disinterested Chiefs defense and their penalties. Still, good to see a TD for a TE in the endzone.

7-0 Texans

Quick pass from Weeden to rookie Jordan Akins (C Florida) gives the Texans an early 7-0 lead.

2:22 left in the 1st qtr.

Coates seems like he has an idea of what he's supposed to be doing out there.

Pass protection was damn near respectable with the first team. Not exactly a group of maulers, but when Deshaun can run around some that will open up some running lanes I think.

Weeden finds Akins again for the TD. 14 yards.

Texans 14, Chiefs 0

11:04 left in the half.

What in the name of Owen Daniels is going on up there?

TWO first half touchdowns to a tight end? Obviously, this is not in the Texans' regular season playbook.
