New Orleans Saints-Houston Texans: 13-17
A few days ago, Jimmy Graham scared his team by being arrested in the middle of the street, disoriented, officially following an epileptic seizure. Sunday evening, the tight end was much better. He first caught a pass from 6 yards on the first action of the game 25 yards. At the end of the first quarter, he was there for a gain of 25 lengths, then for the conclusion in the end zone, on a connection of 3 yards with Jameis Winston. The 36-year-old therefore finished with 3 receptions for 34 yards and 1 touchdown.
Graham caught passes from Jameis Winston (11/16, 93 yards, 1 TD) who started the game. Because New Orleans did not play its holders.
Houston launched CJ Stroud well (2/4, 16 yards, 1 TD) for two offensive series. The Texans mainly relied on their ground game, led by an excellent Dameon Pierce (5 races, 30 yards). But it was Stroud who found Nico Collins on a small pass from 3 yards for the touchdown.
With 31 runs for 27 assists throughout the game, Houston set the tone for what should be its season.
