Texans kickoff. Cincy goes 3 and out and has to punt.

JJ on the 73 yd TD return!

Texans 7, Bengals 0

I'm royally pissed. I set the game to record on 708 because it was listed as being on there. It wasn't. It's on 713.

I missed the return.

[Arky]

Cincy puts together a time consuming drive and attempts a 43 yard FG. FG is good.

Texans 7, Bengals 3

[Big Texas]

I hope that lack of pressure on the previous pass was not a sign of things to come.

But I will take the "hands up" approach.

[Arky]

Texans take the kickoff and move into Cincy territory but fail to convert on 3rd down. Turk punts it to the Cincy 19.
