Broncos vs. Texans first quarter recap
The Denver Broncos captains for the game were Bo Nix, Talanoa Hufanga, and Alex Singleton. They would win the opening coin toss and defer possession to the second half to bring C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans offense out to start the game.
It's also worth noting that the Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to the fold after missing one game through suspension, so it will be no mean feat for Stroud and Co. to gain positive traction irrespective of Surtain being sidelined.
