TEXANS SCHEDULE


Sept. 11 – Indianapolis, noon

Texans hope to duplicate last year’s opening victory over the Colts.

Sept. 18 – at Miami, 3:15 p.m.

Texans won their last game at Miami during four-game winning streak in 2009.

Sept. 25 – at New Orleans, noon

Saints and Texans will be familiar with each other after practicing and playing in preseason.

Oct. 2 – Pittsburgh, noon

Texans should hope they get better results against the Steelers than 2005 at Reliant.

Oct. 9 – Oakland, noon

This is the first game against a team with a new head coach (Hue Jackson).

Oct. 16 – at Baltimore, 3:05

It’s hard to believe this game could be more exciting than last year’s 34-28 overtime loss.

Oct. 23 – at Tennessee, noon

Texans get their first look at new coach Mike Munchak and their former offensive coordinator Chris Palmer.

Oct. 30 – Jacksonville, noon

Texans beat the Jaguars by 17, their second-most decisive victory last season.

Nov. 6 – Cleveland, noon

Browns quarterback Colt McCoy should bring out a lot of Longhorns’ fans.

Nov. 13 – at Tampa Bay, noon

Texans get their first regular-season look at quarterback Josh Freeman.

Nov. 20 – Bye

Nov. 27 – at Jacksonville, noon

Texans can’t have any tougher luck than last season when they lost on Hail Mary.

Dec. 4 – Atlanta, noon

Falcons receiver Roddy White is pushing Andre Johnson for the best in the game.

Dec. 11 – at Cincinnati, noon

Will the Texans see Carson Palmer back at quarterback or a first- or second-round pick?

Dec. 18 – Carolina, noon

Unless it’s a draft smokescreen by the Panthers, Cam Newton could be coming to town.

Dec. 22 – at Indianapolis, 7:20 p.m.

Nobody likes to play on Christmas, especially in a city where the Texans have never won.

Jan. 1 – Tennessee, noon

Unless the Titans re-sign Vince Young, the Texans should be able to close with a victory.
