Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans

Arian Foster will miss Week 1 as he recovers from a groin injury. The Texans have played 11 games without Foster in the last two seasons. In those games, Houston has a 1-10 record.

Brian Hoyer's 2014 season: 3,326 yards, 12 TD, 13 INT, 76.5 passer rating. He went 7-6 as starter with the second-lowest completion percentage of any quarterback to throw 100-plus passes in 2014.

Even with J.J. Watt's historic season in 2014, the Texans' defense ranked 16th in total D, 21st in passing defense, while leading the NFL in takeaways (34).

The Chiefs connected on the fewest passing plays of 25-plus yards of any team in the last two seasons (43).

K.C. has gone 19 straight games without a receiving TD by a wide receiver -- since 1940, the most consecutive games without a receiving TD by a WR is 20 (1958-59 Redskins).

Alex Smith had the lowest air-yards per passing attempt last season (5.8) -- minimum 100 attempts.

New Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin was one of 10 players with 1,000-plus receiving yards and 10-plus receiving TDs in 2014.

In 2014, tight end Travis Kelce earned the most targets (87), receptions (67) and receiving yards (862) in a single season by any Chiefs tight end not named Tony Gonzalez.

Chiefs had the NFL's No. 2 scoring defense in 2014 (17.6 PPG). However, ranked T-30th in takeaways (14) and 28th in total rush defense in 2014, while only allowing four rushing TDs all season -- best in the NFL in 2014.

Over the last two seasons, Justin Houston (33 sacks) and Tamba Hali (17) have formed the NFL's best sack duo.

Matchup to watch: Jamaal Charles vs. J.J. Watt

Hey Clayton. Tell us again how great Hoyer is and why the Chiefs should be worried. ROFL

It's one dude.

He's absolutely scared shitless of JJ Watt. Like the guy is going to come through the television and kill his whole family or something.

There is genuine terror there. It's really interesting to watch.

Hoyer throws a good deep ball, which in a game like this one could be all you need.

Still think the Chiefs demolish.

Jake Locker just sayin

Jake Locker just sayin

Good point.

I Fn hate week 1.

[Psyko Tek]

give me number one scoring D again,
that's the only D stat that matters

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

My prediction:







We're gonna kick their ass !

[TimBone]

Man...that's a poor record without Arian Foster.

[Titty Meat]

Good point.

I Fn hate week 1.

I still think we win but it's going to be a good game. We lost year because we were replacing so many parts. If we lose tomorrow it will likely be because the oline hasn't meshed yet.

If this D is for real, the offense won't have to do much. Texan's offense looks like it's going to be awful.

[FloridaMan88]

Time to see how much better this offense really is against a good Houston defense.

[Tombstone RJ]

how many sacks will JJ Watt have, what's the over/under? I'm thinking its +/-5...

Fisher played surprisingly well against Watt his rookie year.

Fisher played surprisingly well against Watt his rookie year.

so you think it's under 5? What, like 3.5 sacks?

[New World Order]

I'm thinking a Chiefs win.

[Tombstone RJ]

I'm thinking a Chiefs win.

I'm thinking Smith is gonna get killed.

[milkman]

Eric Fisher is going to abuse Watt so much, NFL officials will feel compelled to take sacks away in future games.

[Iowanian]

I'm thinking Smith is gonna get killed.


Tomorrow, Baltimore is going to treat Peyton manning like the sisters did Andy in the shawshank basement. Next Thursday, Kansas City is going to beat him until his mothers fingers go numb.

[Dave Lane]

If we lose to these bottom dwellers the season is over

[New World Order]

If we lose to these bottom dwellers the season is over


It's an important game for sure.

[KCTitus]

So are you saying I shouldnt start KC's defense on my fantasy team?

[Dave Lane]

Tomorrow, Baltimore is going to treat Peyton manning like the sisters did Andy in the shawshank basement. Next Thursday, Kansas City is going to beat him until his mothers fingers go numb.

If we don't beat 87 year old Peyton Manning by 20 on short rest with this defense it will be epic fail.

How would you categorize the Arizona, Seattle and Rams defense that we played against in the preseason?
