With so much hope and anticipation for the first game of the season rolling into kickoff, it was almost hard to believe what unfolded on the field at Gillette Stadium last Sunday. It was as if everything we’re used to seeing go wrong went right, and what was expected to go right barely went at all.
The Good:
Tyler Ervin. Really hard to believe I’m not typing in “The Twilight Zone” when I say he was really solid. Ervin had a 31.2 yard kickoff return average, which might just be a record for Houston in a single game since Bill O’Brien took over.
