Houston Texans wide receiver Kayshon Boutte dives to haul in a catch Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans were without their No. 1 receiving weapon in Nico Collins, and the offense struggled in his absence. Despite quarterback C.J. Stroud passing for 353 yards, two failed red-zone trips and a host of special teams issues were too much to overcome as Houston fell 20-6.
The loss marks the third time the Texans have started a season 0-2 during head coach DeMeco Ryans’ tenure. The path to the first win of the season won’t get any easier, as Houston will travel to Indianapolis next week to face the Colts on Sunday at noon before welcoming the Dallas Cowboys to Reliant Stadium on October 4 for an in-state rivalry game.
