Texans vs Bills | Did the Texans Fix Their BIGGEST Problem?!

The Houston Texans open the season with a massive test against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Seth breaks down nine crucial questions that could determine the game — starting with whether Houston can contain NFL rushing leader James Cook without compromising the structure of its defense.

Can Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter dominate with a four-man rush again? How much does D.J. Moore change the way DeMeco Ryans can defend Josh Allen? Can C.J. Stroud handle the disguises and pressure packages of new Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard? And after an offseason built around becoming more physical up front, can the Texans finally establish a credible running game with David Montgomery?

Plus, Seth looks at Dalton Kincaid’s potential impact, Buffalo’s play-action game, Houston’s improved secondary communication, and the biggest question of all: which team can force the opposing quarterback into hero ball?
