Tyrod Taylor, David Johnson, and Mark Ingram are shocking the NFL world as they’ve raced out to a 20-7 lead, something most people didn’t see coming.

The Texans were projected to be one of the worst NFL teams in the league this year after it became evident that the Deshaun Watson situation wasn’t going to be resolved and that he wouldn’t be suiting up at quarterback for them.
Watson demanded a trade, but after 22 lawsuits were filed against him for sexual assault and harassment. The legal issues still have a long way to go before being resolved, but Watson has maintained that he wants to be traded. That means that Tyrod Taylor is QB1 and it looks he’s having a good game so far.

Tyrod Taylor, David Johnson, And Mark Ingram Have The Jaguars Number
The Texans have looked absolutely dominant in their season opener against the Jaguars. While they weren’t crazy underdogs against the Jags, they definitely weren’t expected to be blowing them out.
Currently, they lead Jacksonville 27-7, and all of their offensive players are having great games. Taylor has thrown 14/23 for 229 yards and two touchdowns.
Brandin Cooks leads all receivers with four catches for 128 yards. Ingram has been the workhorse out of the backfield as he’s carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, David Johnson has one receiving touchdown of his own.

There’s still a lot of football left in this game, but for right now, the Texans are firmly in control of everything that’s happening and they should be in good position to win the game.
There’s been plenty of jokes as well, some of them not relevant anymore after Hopkins added another touchdown, but all in all the dominance the Texans are showing is very unexpected.
David got as many touchdowns as hop??? Surely not
