Texans take down Lions in preseason game
The best thing about the Texans' 30-23 preseason victory over Detroit was their first possession.
With quarterback Deshaun Watson and receiver DeAndre Hopkins playing for the first time, the Texans did what coach Bill O'Brien and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly wanted to see.
The Texans got the ball first and went 75 yards in 11 plays. Watson and Hopkins had what amounted to a cameo appearance, but what a sight it was, like clockwork by the team's two best offensive players.
Watson received outstanding pass protection from a line made up of left tackle Roderick Johnson, left guard Tytus Howard, center Zach Fulton, right guard Max Scharping and right tackle Seantrel Henderson.
