The Texans' kick coverage remains a thorny issue, a shortcoming exposed by Kansas City Chiefs speedy return man Tyreek Hill.
Hill ran away from the Texans for an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown during a 42-34 Chiefs victory Sunday night at NRG Stadium.
Was there any thought about simply not kicking to Hill?
"Yeah, there's no doubt about it," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "I mean, sometimes we definitely had that plan, not sometimes, I mean all the time. You know, sometimes it doesn't work out that way, but he's a great player and he's probably the best punt returner in the league.
