Going back to last season, head coach Andy Reid and his Kansas City squad called NRG Stadium in Houston their home away from home. The Chiefs defeated the Texans twice last season, in the 2015 season opener and the 2015 Wild Card Game, by a score of 57-20. The postseason contest between the two teams was the result of a 30-0 shutout victory by the Chiefs which opened the door to a lot that occurred for the Texans this offseason.

Texans head coach Bill O’Brien places his offense in the hands of former Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler. While the Texans have a potential long-term quarterback in Osweiler, the team still has the services of the immensely talented J.J. Watt at defensive end. The Chiefs themselves have a number of defensive talent and are coming off a comeback victory over divisional foe, San Diego Chargers, last week.

It’s a battle of two 1-0 teams, with considerable playoff expectations. Here is the preview of the Kansas City Chiefs on the road against the Houston Texans in week two of the 2016 season.
