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

[Arky]

Chiefs run the onsides kick all the way back to the Texan 20.

Chiefs going for the FG with 33 seconds left.

Butker is good from 19.

Chiefs 34, Texans 20

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

Texans don't do much with the ensuing kickoff.

Final score:

Chiefs 34, Texans 20

and it wasn't that close....

Randall Cobb was hardly a factor until the game was essentially out of reach. Just a reminder of what the Texans committed to him.

@AaronWilson_NFL
Randall Cobb (Texans) three years, $27M, $18M gtd, $6M signing bonus, salaries $3.75M ( gtd), $8.25M (gtd), $7.875M; 2020-22 per game roster bonuses up to $375,000 per year, $250K base workout de-escalator annual

It's only the first game, but this cannot be what was in mind for GM O'Brien when he made this offer. Wonder what GM O'Brien had to say after the game to HC O'Brien.

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.
