The Texans destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 at home in the 2007-2008 season opener.

Some highlights:

• Mario Williams’ had a 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown.
• The Texans have a three-game winning streak for the first time in franchise history.
• Matt Schaub was 16-of-22 for 225 yards and one touchdown.
• Andre Johnson had seven catches for 142 yards.
• Schaub and Johnson collaborated on a 77-yard touchdown.

Next up are the Panthers in Carolina. The Panthers opened their season with a 27-13 win in St. Louis over the Rams. This game will be special in that our former QB, David Carr, is now the backup QB for Carolina. The Texans need to win this game so that don’t get into an early season hole. After all, The Indianapolis Colts will be in town on the 23rd looking to extend their trend of going undefeated until the last few weeks of the season. Then on the 30th, the Texans will be heading to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.

Going 4-1 in September seems like a realistic goal. Going 5-0 and defeating the reigning SuperBowl champs, the Colts, would simply be amazing. Stranger things have happed……..
