Houston at KC

at the half

neither team has gotten a sack. Justin Houston has KC's only QB hit and JJ Watt has 2 of the 3 QB hits by the Texans

Keenum has thrown for 151 yards, 1 TD and a 137.5 rating (Alex Smith's rating is 82.7)

Chiefs left some points on the board on O with turnovers and a questionable 4th down call. The D played like they were supposed to in the 2nd half with 5 sacks including 2 FF. One of those fumbles removed all doubt fortunately for me.

[I'm always right]

I'm obviously glad KC won, but when I heard that Keenum was going to be making his first start I was like, here we go again. It seems like the Chiefs always do what they did yesterday. Allow some scrub making his first start to look like an All Pro and then lose. And it almost worked out that way. And when KC had the ball on the 4 inch line, I was screaming at the TV to not call a deep hand off three yeards deep in the backfield. And that's exactly what they did and JC got blown up in the backfield just like I was afraid he would. In that situation, the QB sneak would have been the better way to go. I also hated the 4th down call afterward. And the third down pass after the two minute warning, that left Houston with a ton of time even without any timeouts. Questionable playcalling by Reid in the 4th. But it worked out, the defense figured Keenum out and blew him up in the 4th quarter.

Like you I'll take the win. But if I was gonna complain I'd pretty much echo your sentiments...

Looks like the Colts get to play the top 4 teams in football this year since we have a road date with you guys. Still have the Bengals on the road too.

Thank God teams in our division have had so many losses. We should be able to split the series and still win the division from the Texans and the Titans. One can hope, anyway.
