It was the same old Houston Texans offense and its problems in loss to Cincinnati Bengals
The Texans same flaws on offense from 2025 - poor running game, lack of playmakers and red zone woes - were back in loss to Cincinnati.
The Houston Texans faced the Cincinnati Bengals in a game at Reliant Stadium, Sunday, September 20, 2026. The Texans, who had started the season well, suffered a 20-6 loss to the Bengals, marking their second consecutive start with a loss. This loss brought to light the ongoing issues within the Texans' offense, which had shown promise after their Week 1 win against the Bills.
The team's inability to score touchdowns and their struggles in the red zone were evident once again, as the Bengals' defense continued to stifle the Texans' progress. The lack of playmakers and an ineffective running game further compounded the Texans' difficulties. The loss highlighted the need for more contributions from playmakers and improvements in the offensive line's performance.
