There's a lot to like from the win over the Texans. Alex Smith played well. The offensive line performed above expectations. Jeremy Maclin's presence was felt. Andy Reid out-coached O'Brien to an almost comical degree in the first half. Travis Kelce went all Travis Kelce.
I could go on, but I just have to take a second to shout out to Bob Sutton. The Chiefs defensive coordinator was somewhat maligned after his first season with the Chiefs (the playoff loss to the Colts left some seriously sour taste in our mouths), but the majority of fans came around to him as the defense blossomed last season despite the absence of some key contributors.
