The Houston Texans face the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium on Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 2. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The Houston Texans and the Cincinnati Bengals are both looking to get their first win of the season as they face off on Thursday Night Football. Both teams had terrible offensive showings last Sunday.
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had one of the worst showings in NFL history, throwing four interceptions and getting sacked five times. Houston’s Tom Savage struggled so much against the Jacksonville Jaguars that he was benched in the second half in favor of rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson.
It remains unclear who will start on Thursday, although reports claim Watson will continue to hold the starting job.
This game will come down to which offense is able to bounce back on Thursday. The Texans will need to prove that they can stop the run and protect whoever is under center. The Bengals will need to prove Dalton is still their franchise quarterback. This game shouldn’t be a high scoring affair but is still worth watching as it should have strong playoff implications in the AFC South and AFC North.

Both of these teams had strong playoff hopes before the season started, but now those hopes are in doubt. If either team wants a shot to make a playoff run it is important to get stability at the quarterback position. For the Texans that starts with choosing a quarterback and focus on building his confidence. The Bengals need Dalton to play with stability and consistency. For either team, starting 0-2 could lead to a disastrous season.
