McClain: Texans need to come up with a plan to stop Chiefs’ Travis Kelce
John McClain Sep. 1, 2020 Updated: Sep. 1, 2020 8:33 p.m.
Beginning with the first two games of the season against Kansas City and Baltimore, the Texans better improve their coverage against tight ends, or they’ll get roasted like last season.
In 2019, the Texans surrendered 10 touchdown passes to tight ends, and the most notable culprit was the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.
In the Texans’ 51-31 loss in the divisional round of the playoffs at Arrowhead Stadium, Kelce collaborated with quarterback Patrick Mahomes for 10 catches, 134 yards and three touchdowns.
Including the Texans’ 31-24 regular-season victory at Kansas City, Kelce had 14 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns in two games against them.
If starting the season against Kelce isn’t tough enough, the Texans have to cover the Ravens’ Mark Andrews in their first game at NRG Stadium.
Like Kelce, Andrews is 6-5 and weighing in the 260-pound neighborhood. Both are coming off Pro Bowl seasons, and both feasted on the Texans last season.
