HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston Texans fans, the wait is over.
The team is set to get back to the gridiron where it counts and build on their momentum. Can they win the AFC South for a third straight season?
ABC13 will be there with fans through it all this preseason and regular season with our “Countdown to Kickoff” pregame show, hosted by anchor Greg Bailey and former NFL veteran and current analyst Spencer Tillman, ahead of matchups.
The action starts today with the show’s premiere at 11 a.m. on ABC13 and wherever you stream us.
Even though this return to football is just getting started, our team is already learning a lot, including something unexpected that came up in Greg’s exclusive one-on-one interview with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans.
It turns out, the newest Texans showed some skill at the rookie talent show. There’s a lot more to this team than singing, though.
Here’s what’s on tap in this episode of “Countdown to Kickoff:”
- Don’t miss Greg’s conversation with Ryans, who also shares how he’s grown as a head coach and what he’s changed for this season.
- Can the Texans have the number one defense in the NFL? Greg and Spencer will dive into the defense’s progress since last year.
- Yeah, but what about the offense? We hear you! After a new offensive coordinator, replacing three starting offensive linemen from last season and a different receiving corps, Spencer will explain how the Texans new-look offense can take off with the help of a couple of rookies.
- What’s behind fans lining up at 1 a.m. to attend training camp? What fans tell ABC13 makes the early hours worth it.
- Plus, cha-ching! How innovation and imagination has really started to add up for one of the Texans’ biggest fans.
