Texans vs. Broncos: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Sunday's NFL game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Texans vs. Broncos football game
The Houston Texans have the luxury of staying at home another week and will welcome the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at NRG Stadium. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, Houston has to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.
Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, the Texans beat the New England Patriots 28-22 last week. Houston QB Deshaun Watson was slinging it as he passed for 234 yards and three TDs on 25 attempts. Watson ended up with a passer rating of 140.70.
Meanwhile, it was a close one, but Denver sidestepped the Los Angeles Chargers for a 23-20 victory. The team accrued the bulk of their points in the first half (17) and coasted on those for the win.
Their wins bumped the Texans to 8-4 and Denver to 4-8. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Houston comes into the matchup boasting the fourth most passing touchdowns in the league at 24. On the other end of the spectrum, Denver is stumbling into the game with the second fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL, having accrued only 11 on the season. So the Denver squad has its work cut out for it.
