Defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs started their title defense with an emphatic win over Houston Texans on opening day. They fought from behind to register a 34-20 win over Deshaun Watson-led Texans at the Arrowhead Stadium earlier this week.

Coach Andy Reid was delighted by his side’s display. Of course, he had some issues with his ‘foggy’ face shield. But he’ll be happy to secure a win.

Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was the star on Thursday. He had a memorable debut. The former LSU man rushed for 135+ yards and completed one rushing TD against the Texans.

“I just don’t, Marcellus, when you think about this Chiefs offense, how prolific they are, how can they be stopped? If anybody should have been ready to stop the Chiefs, Marcellus, it was the Houston Texans, and them boys got rolled over,” Acho said.
