The new philosophy of the Texans’ offense is to put the ball in the hands of their best player; let the offense flow through him.

Watson has a bevy of offensive weapons from his shifty, speedy receivers to big-bodied tight ends to pass-catching running backs. The two-time Pro Bowler also has the offensive line to keep him upright long-enough to go through his progressions and find the open target.

The Texans scored 31 points on the Chiefs in both games last season. If the Texans can maintain that scoring mark on Opening Night, it should be an ingredient that leads to a win.
