Raise your hand if you knew the Houston Texans were also taking on the Denver Broncos this week.
In Touchdown Wire’s Homegrown Legends tournament, they are. A continuation of the Homegrown Legends series that imagines NFL greats going home as virtual players for their hometown NFL teams, the legends teams will take each other on in 32-team, single-elimination bracket broken up by conference.
Check out how dominant the Texans are. Andrew Luck is throwing to Cliff Branch, or Vince Young is running the option with Eric Dickerson in the backfield. On defense, Michael Strahan and Brian Orakpo are getting after quarterbacks while Mike Singletary and Casey Hampton shut down the run.
But the Broncos could give Houston a run for money. After all, Denver does have Christian McCaffrey in the backfield.
