"This is the worst week in the world to play the Houston Texans." —@mspears96 on the Bengals facing the Texans in Week

What happened: Cincinnati and Houston are set for a Week 2 meeting, with the game still scoreless before kickoff. "This is the worst week in the world to play the Houston Texans," @mspears96 said ahead of the matchup.

Why it matters: The remark adds heat to a game that has not started yet and puts an early spotlight on Houston before a snap is played. The only result that matters now is what follows once the 0-0 pregame state turns into live action.

What to watch: Watch the opening possessions as the Bengals and Texans turn pregame talk into game film.
