Upon further review, there were some encouraging moments from the Texans offense in Week 1! But can they fix some of their issues on offense before Monday night versus the Buccaneers? C.J. Stroud made some great throws when pressured, but the entire offense needs to clean up their pre-snap operation to really unlock C.J.'s potential. There were also some miscommunications in pass protection that seemed uncomfortably similar to last year. Offensive coordinator Nick Caley needs to clean that up this week.
