The Texans moved the ball into Chiefs territory on their first drive before a sack and back to back penalties moved them back out of field goal range.
The Chiefs 2nd drive of the game takes us into the 2nd quarter.
The Houston Texans defensive game plan was to stop Kareem Hunt. That was exactly what they did as he was a non-factor in the offense early.
Injuries filled the first quarter as multiple guys went down. Steven Terrell of the Chiefs went out with a concussion on the opening kickoff.
Whitney Mercilus and J.J. Watt both left the field on the Chiefs first drive. It was indeed a slow moving quarter with all the injury timeouts.
