Chiefs vs. Texans: Game Preview

The Chiefs return to the site of last year’s Wild Card win for their Week 2 matchup

2015 was a full circle kind of year for the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) and the Houston Texans (1-0).

First, the Chiefs travelled to Houston for their Week 1 matchup, a game they won, 27-20. Then, after finishing the season with an 11-5 record, they met the Texans again in the Wild Card round.

The Chiefs dominated in that contest, winning 30-0, and eliminating Houston from the postseason.

It wasn’t how the Texans wanted to end their season, and in this case, the words, “There’s always next year,” had never been more prevalent.

This offseason, Houston drastically revamped their lineup, particularly on the offensive side of the football, making changes to the starting quarterback, running back, wide receiver and offensive line.

There is no denying the Chiefs had their way in Houston in 2015, but the team they will face Sunday afternoon is a new one entirely.

The Chiefs are familiar with their marquee offseason signee—Brock Osweiler, who prior to joining the Texans spent the first four seasons of his career as a backup to Peyton Manning in Denver.



“You have an appreciation for him that you can’t have until you’re actually on the field with him,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton explained. “From our standpoint as players and coaches, we at least know who he is and we have an idea of his arm strength and what he can do. He’s obviously a big guy. He had the big scramble against Chicago last week.”

On Houston’s first offensive drive of the season, Osweiler faced third-and-2 at the Houston 49-yard line. With Bears pressure closing in, Osweiler showed elusiveness by dashing up the middle for 15 yards and a first down. When he stayed back in the pocket, he utilized his two talented receivers—All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins and rookie Will Fuller. Fuller had more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown in his debut.

“Fuller has kind of carried over what he did at Notre Dame,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said this week. “His vertical game –he’d probably match it against anybody. He can go get it, and they use him on some quick screen things, but I think the thing that jumps out when you watch him is his down the field speed. He can run.”

To handle Osweiler, Hopkins, Fuller and company, the Chiefs defense will look to jump out to a faster start than they did last week against the San Diego Chargers. In the first half of last week’s game, the Chiefs defense gave up 21 points and 219 total net yards. The Chargers were 6 of 7 on third down in the half as well.

“I think what really prevented us from going forward in the first half was execution of basic defenses and technique,” Sutton said. “We didn’t execute our core stuff as well as we needed to. There are a couple plays that were obvious, and there were others that bled the down and distance and prevented us from playing the way we wanted to. Our tackling struggled—I don’t think we tackled as well as we should have. There were times when a ball carrier was moving the chains forward after contact had been made. There were missed tackles as well. All those things added up to make it difficult for us to play well.”

That all changed in the second half, as the Chargers scored just 6 more points the rest of the way. Sutton said the key this week will be getting pressure on Osweiler, and the matchup of Dee Ford or Tamba Hali on backup left tackle Chris Clark will be one worth paying attention to.



Hali played in 58 percent of the Chiefs defensive snaps last week.

“I think he looked good,” Sutton said. “We didn’t sit down and say hey it’s three [snaps] and that’s it or 31 and that’s it. We kind of go by a flow and he kind of got ramped up there in the second half and did a good job. I thought he did a really good job and it was a reasonable amount of snaps.”

Linebacker Sam Barrington will not play against the Texans.

On the offensive side of the football, expect to see more of RB Spencer Ware this week with Jamaal Charles officially listed as doubtful. Entering Week 2, Ware leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage after posting 199 last week.

Quarterback Alex Smith threw to Ware 8 times against San Diego, and he had 7 catches for 129 yards.

When asked about how Ware was able to be so effective in last week’s game, co-offensive coordinator Matt Nagy highlighted his attitude.

“I was on the sideline, and when we were down 21 points, he’s over there – he just wanted the ball,” Nagy said. He was positive. We wanted to go out there and make a play. Just to see him go out there and do it was pretty cool. So, he just continued to, not only do it running the ball, but catching the ball as we all learned. “

The Chiefs offensive line will play against the Texans without two of their starters in left guard Parker Ehinger and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. Ehinger suffered a concussion in practice this week and Duvernay-Tardif has a high-ankle sprain.

The time for offensive line injuries is not ideal, as the Texans boast one of the league’s best defensive fronts with the foursome of defensive linemen Whitney Mercilus, J.J. Watt, Vince Wilfork and LB Jadeveon Clowney. Even as Watt continues to recover from offseason back surgery, the Texans still managed 5 sacks last week.

LB Brian Cushing, who has a sprained MCL, will not play. Defensive end Christian Covington and offensive linemen Jeff Allen and Derek Newton are questionable.

In 2015, the Chiefs recorded their first playoff win in 22 seasons against the Texans. On Sunday, though the stakes are much lower, the goal remains the same.

Leave NRG Stadium victorious for the third time in two seasons.

Chiefs prepare to face 'different' Texans

HOUSTON -- Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid avoided the trap of the easy narrative.

His team defeated Houston twice last season, ending the Texans' season with a thorough 30-0 victory in the wild-card round of the postseason that initiated a complete reconstruction of offensive personnel for the 2015 AFC South champions.

And now, with the teams meeting for a third time in 19 months, the kneejerk response would be to acknowledge that the Chiefs' defensive personnel should feel a level of comfort preparing for Sunday's game at NRG Stadium. Instead, Reid noted what was different and how those changes might influence an alternate outcome.

"Yeah, they are a different team," Reid said. "Offensively, they've got new people there. They looked sharp on Sunday.

"I mean, that's a good football team. We understand that. We understand we have to have a good week of practice here."

With so many new faces on offense for the Texans (1-0), from quarterback Brock Osweiler to running back Lamar Miller to rookie receivers Will Fuller and Braxton Miller serving as complements to standout DeAndre Hopkins, it might be wise to disregard what unfolded Jan. 9 when the Chiefs limited the Texans to 226 yards while forcing five turnovers -- all charged to then-Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer.

Three of the four skill newcomers enjoyed solid debuts for the Texans in their 23-14 home win over the Bears. Osweiler passed for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Lamar Miller amassed 117 yards from scrimmage on 32 touches. Fuller had five receptions for 107 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown that put the Texans ahead to stay.

The Texans addressed most of the issues that plagued their offense last season, concerns that led to that thud in the playoffs. It was just one game, but on the surface those moves appear to have paid dividends that were both immediate and will also be lasting.

"I mean, it's a new season," Texans offensive coordinator George Godsey said. "They've got new players. They've got players that are injured; we've got players that are injured. We've got new players. It's a player's game and there is new personnel out there. That's the way we look at it."

One of those injured players for the Chiefs (1-0) is running back Jamaal Charles, who practiced Wednesday after sitting out last week in the overtime home win over the San Diego Chargers. Charles is recovering from his second ACL injury, but even without him the Chiefs have maintained their offensive balance running the football.

Spencer Ware rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries against San Diego. Because the Chiefs were forced to attack the field vertically after falling into a 21-point halftime deficit, the Chiefs' ground game didn't play a significant role. But Ware and Charcandrick West rushed for a combined 1,037 yards and 10 touchdowns last season after Charles was sidelined. Their credentials are legitimate, and with Miller enjoying a breakout of his own in Week 1, the Texans understand how critical running the football is to both offenses.

"Absolutely," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "Just look at the Kansas City Chiefs and what they did with their running backs last week, I mean, Ware had a big game. West had a big game. They ran the ball. They caught the ball well. I know Jamal Charles wasn't in there, but that guy is a really good player too.

"Obviously with Lamar Miller and Jonathan Grimes on special teams, Tyler Ervin on special teams, Alfred Blue and what he's done for us in the past. I believe that running backs are very important to your roster."

While the Texans fretting over the Chiefs' defensive prowess is understandable, the Texans will field a stifling defense of their own led by defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Whitney Mercilus, who was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after producing four tackles and two sacks helping Houston smother the Bears.

Watt missed the preseason after July back surgery and was slow to find his rhythm against Chicago. He did in the second half when the Texans turned up the pressure on Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who absorbed five sacks and was hit an additional 13 times. A healthy Watt and his capable teammates are the obvious concern for Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith.

"Turn on the tape and turn on the defense, the front jumps out right away," Smith said. "Obviously, I think every guy up there is really, really talented and can bring it."

Chiefs game plan: Scouting the Houston Texans
by beat writer Terez Paylor

from The Kansas City Star

Scheme

Coach: Coach Bill O’Brien (18-14) was a runner-up for NFL coach of the year in 2014 and rallied his team back from a 2-5 start a year ago to go 9-7 and win a division title. He is known for his bright offensive mind and past work with quarterbacks,

Offense: George Godsey is in his second year as the offensive coordinator, but the offense certainly has O’Brien’s imprint. The Texans have run the ball as much as anyone in the league the last two years but have only averaged 3.7 yard per carry. The Texans were primarily an “11” personnel (three-wide) team a year ago, when they operated out of that formation 54 percent of the time.

Defense: Former Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel enters his third year in Houston after guiding a top-five defense a year ago. Crennel likes to bring the pressure; the Texans set a franchise record with 45 sacks last season. Like most 3-4 teams, they play a four-man front in nickel and dime situations and try to generate pressure with blitzes, upfield aggression and stunts.

Special teams: Fourth-round rookie Tyler Ervin brings some juice to their return units; he boasts outstanding speed and burst and is a home-run threat on kick and punt returns. Chiefs special-teams coach Dave Toub should be licking his chops at drawing up something for dynamic rookie Tyreek Hill; the Texans surrendered a 31-yard punt return to the Bears on Sunday.

Four keys to a Chiefs victory

1. Mix up the coverage/manage DeAndre Hopkins

The 6-foot-1, 215-pound wideout (ranked No. 19 on NFL’s Top 100) is going to see the ball — he was third in the NFL in targets (192) a year ago — and there’s not much that can be done about that, especially if Brock Osweiler proves to be more competent than Brian Hoyer was last year. The key is containing Hopkins, which the Chiefs did in their 30-0 Wild Card Game win in January as they “limited” him to six catches for 69 yards. It will be interesting to see how the Chiefs defend him this time, however. In the Wild Card Game, Hopkins lined up on both sides and the Chiefs, who generally didn’t give their corners much help over the top on him until the game got out of reach, basically allowed Sean Smith to press him while Marcus Peters played more off coverage against him, with respectable results. But Smith is no longer a Chief, and it remains to be seen if the coaches have the same level of confidence in his replacement, Phillip Gaines, to repeatedly press a player of Hopkins’ caliber with little help, though Gaines did look fast, fluid and tough in the opener against San Diego. Hopkins makes a lot of easy catches against off coverage, as he’ll often eat up the cushion, use his athleticism to create separation out of the route stem and haul it in. Peters showed the physicality to play man coverage against Hopkins in the Wild Card Game, but the Chiefs often gave him help over the top when he did it. Hopkins is good enough to win anyway, as his ball skills allow him to win contested quarters. Remember, he beat Peters twice for touchdowns in press coverage in last year’s season opener. All the Chiefs can do is to mix it up, pray the pass rush gets home and hope for the best.

2. Put an extra defender in/around the box to stop the run

The Texans are committed to the run. They added former Chief Jeff Allen (6-4, 306) to bring an element of nastiness to the front, which he’s done. The Texans went shotgun 42 percent of the time last week, so they’ll also sprinkle in some of the shotgun draw plays that tortured the Chiefs against San Diego on Sunday. The Chargers repeatedly exploited a light box, as defensive coordinator Bob Sutton chose to make San Diego prove it could run on even numbers in the box in the Chiefs’ nickel and dime subpackages. This, when combined with the upfield aggression of the Chiefs’ defensive line, sometimes-shoddy tackling and occasionally-faulty gap discipline, made for a first-half nightmare that was eventually rectified in the second half. Still, San Diego, which rushed 32 times for an average of 4.8 yards per carry, also had plenty of success pounding the ball up the middle from under center with Melvin Gordon, and that’s something the Texans might be able to do. Against the Bears on Sunday, they ran 10 plays up the middle for a stunning average of 6.1 yards per play. Expect them to run at Justin March-Lillard, a first-year starter at inside linebacker, in an attempt to test the Chiefs’ gap discipline.

3. Work together upfront to stunt the stunts

The Chargers tortured the Chiefs’ youngish offensive line Sunday with an assortment of blitzes and stunts. Most of the effective ones were aimed at the right side of the line, specifically right-guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. He has a high ankle sprain and may not play, however, and the same goes for left guard Parker Ehinger, who suffered a concussion Wednesday. Their assumed replacements, Zach Fulton and Jah Reid, have lots of experience and might not be as vulnerable to the same line games, though they each have their issues. Still, if the Texans manage to get home against a banged-up line, quarterback Alex Smith needs to be ready to find a gap and scramble. Both inside linebackers Benardrick McKinney (6-4, 260) and Max Bullough (6-3, 245) can be outhoofed in space, and remember, Smith broke off a dynamite 60-yard scramble in January that was called back due to a penalty.

4. Test the Texans’ discipline on play-action

The Texans allowed a league-low 5 yards per pass attempt last year, but if they had one weakness, it was on play-action, where they allowed 9 yards per pass. Their trio of corners — Johnathan Joseph (5-11, 185), Kareem Jackson (5-10, 185) and Kevin Johnson (6-0, 185) is pretty good, but just like San Diego a week ago, the Texans’ assortment of stiff inside linebackers can be targeted in coverage. Veteran Brian Cushing, the heart and soul of the Texans defense, will miss the game with a knee injury, and his replacement, Bullough, is a classic inside linebacker with loads of football smarts but only average athleticism. McKinney is a size-speed guy who looks the part on the hoof but is much better going forward than he is side-to-side. Both can, and should, be targeted in the pass game with athletic tight ends Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris and Ross Travis. The Texans’ safeties — former Chief Quintin Demps (5-11) and Andre Hal (5-10, 195) — probably can’t match up with them, either. Johnson, the second-year corner, is thin-framed, but he’s tough with good hips and twitch and might be the best option for Kelce.

Four Texans to watch

No. 17, QB Brock Osweiler, 25 years old, 6-8, 235, 5th season

Went 5-2 as a starter with Denver last season, completing 61.8 percent of his passes for 1,967 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Is being counted on to distribute the ball to a very young (and very talented) receiving corps that features a legit star (Hopkins), two rookie speed merchants in first-rounder Will Fuller V (6-0, 180, 4.32 speed) and third-rounder Braxton Miller (6-1, 205, 4.5 speed) and a ’15 third-round possession receiver in Jaelen Strong (6-2, 215). Reportedly has two plays out of most huddles and can check to a third if he wants. Has more than enough height to see over the defense. Osweiler may be tall but he isn’t a bad athlete; will occasionally escape from pressure and scramble for positive yardage. Has a shot-puttish, three-quarters delivery and a strong arm; can really spin it and hum it in there when given time. Really trusts his arm and will occasionally stare down his top target and make some questionable decisions. Holds on to the ball too long (was sacked 23 times last season). Flashes the ability to throw with touch — especially on fades — but doesn’t always put the ball on the money, either short or deep, especially when forced off his spot. Pressure will be essential.

No. 26, RB Lamar Miller, 25 years old, 5-10, 220, 5th season

With Miami, Miller torched the Texans for 175 yards in 14 carries last year, so Houston gave him $26 million over four years as a free agent. Curiously had only 177 carries a year ago in Miami (709 yards, two touchdowns) but they are completely devoted to getting him the ball in Houston; he rushed 28 times for 106 yards in the Texans’ 23-14 win over Chicago. Traditional, slashing one-cut runner with good burst and top-end speed. Patient runner who is slippery in the hole but doesn’t always make defenders miss in space and isn’t overly creative. Decent route runner who catches the ball well enough and is targeted in the pass game. Tough guy who plays hurt and doesn’t miss games. Has improved in pass protection and is willing but can be a tad late to pick up the blitz. Might lose some juice as the game goes — seems to tire, a bit — and has yet to prove he can be a true, bellcow closer.

No. 99, DE J.J. Watt, 27 years old, 6-5, 295, 6th season

This Paul Bunyan-ish defensive end (No. 3 on NFL’s Top 100) who, at his best, consistently wins against the run and pass with rare combination of exceptional length, quickness, effort and power and is probably the best down lineman in football. Has a chirpy, competitive, on-field disposition and knows how good he is. Had back surgery in July, missed all of training camp and the preseason and played 88 percent of the snaps Sunday against Chicago. Showed toughness by playing all of 2015 with a torn groin and a broken hand and still dominating (76 tackles, 17 1/2 sacks) but did not quite look like himself against the Bears. Played lots of three-technique tackle, left and right end but generally did not show his typical burst and power. He was much more effective rushing from the outside Sunday, where he could repeatedly use his still-effective rip move to win on the edge vs. the right tackle. Was generally reached easier than normal, however, and did not flash the same balance; was also on the ground against the Bears much more than normal. Still had a tackle and a team-high three quarterback pressures.

No. 59, OLB Whitney Mercilus, 26, 6-4, 265, 5th season

Gets overshadowed by Watt but needs to be accounted for every play. Teams up with Watt and Jadeveon Clowney (6-5, 270) to form a dangerous, disruptive trio along the Texans’ front. Came into his own during a season in which he recorded career highs in tackles (52) and sacks (12). Is on track for another great season; was named AFC defensive player of the week for his two-sack performance vs. Chicago. Lines up everywhere; mainly plays on the left and right edges but will try to use his quickness and shoot gaps as a down three-technique and stand-up blitzer shaded on the center in passing situations. Will also play passing lanes, spy the quarterback’s eyes and try to deflect passes when aligned on the center. Stresses slow-footed tackles with his burst and quickness off the edge. Has a speed rush and an effective rip. Has quick, strong hands. Can lock out, extend and find the ball vs. the run. Largely-disciplined run defender who generally holds the edge but is subbed out in goal line. Holds up fairly well inside but can be pushed around by bigger players. Gives good effort and runs to the ball. Is aware of backs flaring out of the backfield and actually holds up OK in space.

Prediction: Texans 23-20

The Texans should be super motivated to win this game following their embarrassing 30-0 loss to the Chiefs in January, and from the Chiefs’ end, while they might be better on paper, it’s still very difficult to beat a good team three times in their home within 12 months. Houston made a number of improvements in the offseason, particularly on offense, as it upgraded at quarterback, running back and improved its team speed and nastiness up front. That might prove handy Sunday against a defense that looked vulnerable against San Diego. The Chiefs’ offense should be able to move the ball and put up points, especially with Watt looking less than 100 percent, but the Texans’ pass rush should still put up more resistance than the Chargers’ did against the hurry-up, three-wide offense the Chiefs rode to the largest comeback victory in team history Sunday.
