While the NFL world is waiting to see what becomes of Deshaun Watson’s legal matters, the Houston fanbase is left wondering if they are destined to begin a quarterback carousel with players attempting to fill the void previously occupied by a three-time pro bowler. Last Sunday’s season opener at least was a start in trying to push those worries aside.
Veteran QB Tyrod Taylor, starting for his fourth team in six years, got his Texans’ career off to a great start. The 32-year-old Taylor took the Jaguars for 291 yards and two touchdowns on 21-of-33 passing. He also ran for 40 yards on four carries. Taylor helped engineer a 14-play, 84-yard drive in the first quarter that ended with a Mark Ingram 1-yard touchdown run. On that drive he threw a deep ball up to wide receiver Brandin Cooks who leaped and came down with a spectacular 40-yard reception. The Texans won the game, 37-21.
The Browns’ defense should prove more difficult for Taylor. Even though they allowed 33 points last week, it was against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
The inactives are as follows:
Browns:, Beckham Jr. (WR), Hubbard (T), LeCounte lll (S), Fields ll (LB), Togiai (DT)
Texans: Miller (WR), Watson (QB), Jordan (TE), Moreland (DB), Phillips (RB), Greenard (DL), Walker (DL)

Cleveland’s defense actually looked like they were going to hold off the Kansas City attack until Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill for a 75-yard touchdown reception on the first play of the fourth quarter that made the score 29-27 with the Browns still up. Then Cleveland punter Jamie Gillan fumbled a snap and K.C. took over at the 15-yard line. Three plays later, the Browns trailed 33-29 and went on to lose by that score.
The Browns are a 12.5-point favorite against the Texans. The over/under is 48.

You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.
So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
Paramount Plus combines what used to be CBS All Access with even more content from the deep ViacomCBS vault. Get access to Survivor and Big Brother episodes, as well as originals like Star Trek: Picard and The Good Fight. And more great stuff is on the way, including Frasier and Criminal Minds revivals.
NFL Sunday Ticket: This game is included in NFL Sunday Ticket, which is available even if you don't have DirecTV.
