## Resource

Houston Texans fell short in their opener against the Bills, losing 36-31, but the offense shone with key performances. Running back Woody Marks led the way with a stellar PFF grade, averaging 4.7 yards per carry and forcing five missed tackles. David Montgomery added three touchdowns — two rushing, one passing — tying a franchise record for a season opener. Despite the loss, C.J. Stroud threw for 274 yards and two TDs, while the offense moved the ball effectively. The defense, however, struggled mightily, giving up 409 yards and showing vulnerabilities without key players like Henry TooToo and Jake Hummel. Now they turn their focus to the Bengals, ready to fix leaks and build momentum. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
