Texans appreciate the challenge of slowing down Saints WR Michael Thomas

The Houston Texans will visit the New Orleans Saints to help close out Week 1 of the 2019 NFL regular season, lining up against the black and gold inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the first Monday Night Football game of the year. And when the Texans coaches sit down to review their game plan, head coach Bill O’Brien and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel know exactly who they’re prioritizing — after quarterback Drew Brees, of course.

Wide receiver Michael Thomas has had quite the year. It started with well-earned recognition as a first-team All-Pro, alongside Texans star DeAndre Hopkins.
