Texans vs Broncos Week 9 Preview | Exciting Homecoming & Ring of Honor Induction 🏈

The Houston Texans are set for a massive Sunday at NRG Stadium — a Legends Homecoming and Janice McNair’s induction into the Ring of Honor, as the Texans host the Denver Broncos. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris break down the complete game preview: how Houston can slow Denver’s explosive run game, protect C.J. Stroud against an elite pass rush, and build on their defensive dominance. The crew also covers Bo Nix’s dual-threat abilities, Denver’s league-leading sack totals, and how Sheldon Rankins and the Texans’ defensive front can set the tone early. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – Texans vs Broncos Game Preview | Janice McNair enters the Ring of Honor 0:28 – Legends Return: Over 100 Former Texans Coming Home to NRG 0:54 – Texans Undefeated on Ceremony Days (Andre, JJ, and now Janice) 1:21 – Breaking Down the Denver Broncos: Complete on All Three Phases 1:51 – Broncos’ Defensive Strengths: League-Leading Sacks and Pressure 2:19 – Patrick Surtain’s II Status and Denver’s Secondary Strategy 2:48 – Next Man Up: Kris Abrams-Draine and the Broncos’ Defensive Depth 3:18 – Texans Must Stop the Run: J.K.
