1. The Texans host the Broncos when they’re coming off a 23-20 home victory over the Chargers that was secured when Brandon McManus kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired. The game ended in controversy because the Chargers were called for a 38-yard pass interference penalty that set up McManus’ field goal that elevated their record to 4-8 under first-year coach Vic Fangio, a former Texans defensive coordinator (2002-05).
2. The Broncos’ victory gave rookie quarterback Drew Lock a 1-0 record as a starter. Activated off injured reserve, the second-round pick from Missouri threw two touchdown passes against the Chargers and was intercepted once.
