Official Texans vs. Chiefs Game Thread, 09/13/2015

[Arky]

The Texans kickoff their 2015 season Sunday at noon. The Texans will probably go with Brian Hoyer at QB and Jadeveon Clowney is expected to see some playing time. Besides the short term loss of RB Arian Foster, the Texans are in good health - we'll see how long that lasts....Last year, the Texans finished 2014 with a 9-7 record just missing the playoffs.

Kansas City has one of the better defenses in the league so the Texans will be challenged. 31-year old, 11th year veteran QB Alex Smith is expected to start. The Chiefs also finished 2014 with a 9-7 record.

TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon CST, Sunday
