The Denver Broncos will play the Houston Texans on Saturday night in Week 2 of the NFL 2015 preseason calendar. The game should see both teams make progress from last week as they prepare for the regular season to commence in just a few weeks time now. The game has a scheduled start time of 8 p.m. ET and takes place from the NRG Stadium in Texas. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Broncos put on a strong performance last week at CenturyLink Field, and this week they travel to Houston to play a final road game on their preseason calendar. They will want to continue the progress shown last week, and maintain their build up towards the regular season starting soon.
Both teams also played off in the preseason last year, and in that game the Texans came out on top 18-17. However, most will probably remember that game for Peyton Manning getting flagged for a taunting penalty against D.J. Swearinger at the end of the first half.
Fans can expect Manning to feature here again today, although most pundits have him down to feature for a quarter or maximum a half.
One area that the Broncos will be looking to show progress will be in offense. The Texans have a strong defensive unit, and today's game should be a good measure as to how season-ready the Broncos offense is at this point. Players such as JJ Watt, Vince Wilfork and Jadevon Clowney will not be playing around, and they should offer a stern test of this Broncos offensive unit.
As the new season nears, most are again touting the Broncos as serious Super Bowl contenders, and that is probably a fair assessment given the strength and depth of both their offense and defense. The Texans meanwhile seem to have made some good adjustments since last year, but still have some glaring insufficiencies that need to be addressed if they are to be considered true challengers. The Houston offense certainly needs extra depth with Arian Foster out injured, and they must resolve their quarterback issues prior to the new season starting.
