Gotta go with the Texas team.

From Lance:

The Cincinnati Bengals have elevated LB Joe Giles-Harris and QB Josh Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster for tomorrow’s game at Houston.

Giles-Harris and Johnson both are classified as standard elevations. As practice squad players being elevated to the active roster for the game, they automatically will revert to the practice squad on Monday.

No Nico is big. CJ is average. No wide out help. Must stop the run. Protect the ball. Win an ugly game. 24-14. Bengals grind out the win.

I hope you are right and I hope the 2025 Texans defense doesn't show up.

Texans won the coin toss and deferred. Bengals need to go get some points on this first drive.

Should have got up to the line and snapped it faster that is going overturned to incomplete I am afraid. It was overturned and Bengals go 3 and out.

Great opening series by the Bengals defense to only allow 2 yards and the offense will get great field position at their own 46.

They should have snapped it faster, when I first saw the replay I knew it wasn't a catch.

A nice pickup of a first down then a false start by Chase sets them back 5.

Burrow is sacked by Anderson and the Bengals have to punt again. No way Brown could have blocked there Meyers has to chip Anderson there and he whiffed.

Orlando Brown Jr. giving up a pressure/sack.

I agree with that too and I was wondering about the technique the Bengals are playing. Was the WR supposed to chip or not.

That should have been pass interference on us.

So far our D is totally shutting the Texans down. Pretty amazing what a decent defense does for this otherwise inconsistent team.

The defense so far has been outstanding! Now our big time offense needs to step up and do their job! If the Bills can move the ball on the Texans offense we should be able to as well.

Of course a 28 yard run is brought back by a holding call. I did not see much there at all!
