Texans Two-Step Over Chiefs 20-3 to Kickoff Season

Posted by Matt Loede on September 10th, 2007 filed in Game Stories

The Texans started the 2007 season on a high note, as they beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 in the season opener at Reliant Stadium Sunday.  A highlight was when Andre Johnson caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from Matt Schaub.  Johnson ended with seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown.  Quarterback Matt Schaub had a strong debut, going 16-for-22 for 225 yards with one touchdown and an interception.  Mario Williams had a 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown to go with two sacks for Houston.  The Texans face the Carolina Panthers and former Texan David Carr next Sunday at noon at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
