Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Live updates, analysis, how to watch Week 2 matchup
The Texans host the Bengals looking to avoid a 0-2 start for the third time in four seasons. We'll have updates and analysis throughout the day from Reliant Stadium.
Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.J. Stroud aim to prevent their third 0-2 start in four seasons as they face the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 2 matchup on Sunday at noon. The Texans are hosting the Bengals after a wild season opener against the Buffalo Bills at home. Wide receiver Nico Collins, who is crucial to the Texans' offense, will be out due to a hamstring injury. Our team will provide updates and analysis throughout the day from Reliant Stadium.
The Bengals showcased an impressive performance in their season opener, becoming the fifth team since 1963 to achieve four sacks, four defensive fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown in a game. The Texans, on the other hand, will be without cornerback Collin Wright and tackle Brevin Jordan due to injury.
Key personnel changes for both teams could significantly impact the outcome of the game. For the Texans, the absence of Nico Collins means Kayshon Boutte will need to step up and make crucial catches. The Bengals' defensive efforts last week have set a high bar, making turnovers a critical aspect of the matchup.
