The Houston Texans were back in primetime for the first time in ages and the welcome party came with a bang.
With the roof open at NRG Stadium for the first time since 2021, fans were greeted by fireworks, a flyover and a game-defining welcome as the Texans take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.
Here’s a video of the flyover presented by the Texans’ social media team.

Country singer Parker McCollum led the team out in their new “H’s Up” tradition. Fellow country singer Clay Walker preformed the national anthem.
The Texans (1-0) will look to start off 2-0 for the first time since 2016. The roof’s opening is a first on Sunday Night Football since Nov. 3, 2013 against the Indianpolis Colts.
Houston will start on offense after Chicago won the toss.
