Vandermeer's View: A Kansas City TKO
Giving any team two generous red zone drive starts off turnovers is usually a football death sentence. There was no pardon.
The Texans know it. Sure the Chiefs played well. But it was self inflicted wounds that contributed to this opening day loss as much as anything. Too many penalties, turnovers, mistakes on third down and special teams snafus spelled doom.
Houston dug a big hole and couldn’t get the takeaways or offensive execution to climb out. There was a late rally but not enough key plays to pull it off. What’s left now is corrections and a giant wave in the rear view mirror as the squad gears up for Carolina.
