Official Texans @ Chiefs Game Thread, 9/10/2020

[Arky]

Some players to keep an eye on:

Rookie CB John Reid (Penn St., Rd 4) saw a lot of action and was credited with 6 solo tackles.

Newcomer defensive tackle PJ Hall played 2 yrs with Oakland and was credited with 4 tackles, 1 TFL. Outstanding for a Texan DT.

----------------------------------------------

The Ravens are a 5 to 6 pt. favorite when they visit NRG two Sundays from now. So, they would be roughly a 11 to 12 pt favorite if the game took place in Baltimore....

Hall's goal line destruction of Helaire (with an assist to Watt) was one of the few highlights of the night. It was sad watching him hop up to celebrate and then quickly realize they were getting killed. Too bad he doesn't play for a real team where he can celebrate properly.

Texans WR corp 163 yards
Deandre Hopkins 151 yards

This should be an interesting race to watch this year. If Deandre wants to win, he'll need more garbage time opportunities like our guys got.

Speaking of garbage time, I had totally forgotten that Randall Cobb was on the team.

Fumagalli (pron: foom-ah-GOLL-ee) is a Broncos TE who was best used as an H-back. He got beat out by the unfortunately-named Jake Butt whose biggest accomplishment since being drafted by Denver a few years back was ducking a punch from a Titans LB on Monday night.

News has come in that NO Chiefs or Texans tested positive for COVID after Thursday's game. Before getting too excited about this, keep in mind the Texans defense was exercising social distancing with any Chief player who had the ball for the first three quarters so the results are not unexpected.
