Houston Texans To Play Host To Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football
Published on October 7th, 2017 7:09 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel

Heading into the season, nobody would have really pegged a Chiefs vs Texans game as being a potentially compelling SNF game, though this is where we are at. The Chiefs are one of the NFL's best clubs, while the Texans are suddenly looking like world beaters with DeShaun Watson leading the offence.
The Texans have always had a strong defence, though their offence (especially their QB situation) has always led something to be desired. DeShaun Watson has stepped up and looked to be one of the league's most promising rookies, which means that the Texans suddenly have a well-balanced and dangerous club.
These words also describe the Kansas City Chiefs to a tee, as they are good on both sides of the football.
