						<p><p>When local hero J.J. Watt ran out onto the NRG Stadium field waving a Houston flag Sunday afternoon, the deafening roar that greeted him symbolized the gratitude  of an entire flood-ravaged city.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Watt&rsquo;s incredible generosity in raising over $30 million US  in aid &mdash; and counting &mdash; for water-logged Houston is part of a healing process that could take weeks, months, even years, after the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey late last month.</p><p>As such, the season opener for Watt&rsquo;s Texans against the Jacksonville Jaguars was portrayed to be a bonding outlet for the region, much in the same way the Saints 23-3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 25, 2006, provided a lift for the city of New Orleans in the team&rsquo;s first home game at the Superdome since Hurricane Katrina.</p><p>At least that would have been the storybook ending the Texans and their fans were hoping for.</p><p>But the outcomes of football games are determined by players, not Hollywood scriptwriters. And, on this day, the Jaguars spoiled the party, thumping the awful Texans 29-7.</p><p>Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong for the hapless hosts. They allowed 10 sacks. They turned over the ball four times, including three lost fumbles. And they lost four players with concussions &mdash; linebacker Brian Cushing, tight ends Ryan Griffin and C.J. Fiedorowicz and receiver Bruce Ellington.</p><p>Asked about the spine-tingling reception he got when he emerged out of the tunnel prior to kickoff, a downcast Watt replied: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not good when that&rsquo;s your highlight of the day. Obviously It was a good moment and it went downhill from there.&rdquo;</p><p>As if coach Bill O&rsquo;Brien didn&rsquo;t have enough issues to deal with both on and off the field, his quarterback situation has exploded into a full-fledged controversy.</p><p>Starter Tom Savage was replaced by first-round pick Deshaun Watson after going just 7-for-13 for 62 yards, a mediocre showing that elicited boos from the home crowd. And while Watson did toss his first career TD pass, he had troubles of his own, throwing a pick and coughing up a fumble while going 12-of-23 for 102 yards.</p><p>O&rsquo;Brien would not commit to who would be his starter Thursday when the Texans meet the Bengals in Cincinnati. Whatever the case, Houston&rsquo;s second game of the season couldn&rsquo;t be much worse than their first.</p><p>BUNGLING BENGALS</p><p>Without trying to overreact after just one week of the regular season, the question still must be asked: How long will Cincinnati Bengals ownership put up with the shortcomings of the Andy Dalton-Marvin Lewis marriage?</p><p>In six-plus seasons of working together, the duo has combined for an 0-4 playoff record, one that has Bengals fans extremely disappointed. And that frustration boiled over Sunday when one disgruntled supporter chucked his hat at Dalton as the Bengals QB left the field after Cincinnati&rsquo;s 20-0 defeat to the visiting Baltimore Ravens.</p><p>Dalton threw four interceptions and was sacked five times which resulted in an ugly 28.4 passer rating.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s my fault; I didn&rsquo;t play well and give us a chance to win,&rdquo; Dalton said.</p><p>That&rsquo;s little consolation for a bitter Bengals fan base that saw its team blanked on home turf.</p><p>PEEVED PETE</p><p>Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had every right to be steaming after his team&rsquo;s 17-9 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.</p><p>In the first quarter, Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane was thrown out because referee John Parry claimed he threw a punch during a 64-yard interception return by Seattle lineman Nazair Jones. Replays showed Packers wideout Devante Adams grabbed Lane&rsquo;s face mask followed by Lane driving his forearm into Adams&rsquo; chest, but there was no sign of a punch.</p><p>Meanwhile, the officiating crew wiped out the TD return by Jones because of an alleged illegal block in the back by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril which, in reality, was no more than a push on Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.</p><p>Former NFL officiating heads Dean Blandino and Mike Pereira, who both now work for FOX, didn&rsquo;t like those calls. Nor did they like a non-call on the Seahawks&rsquo; Jimmy Graham in the third quarter when the Seattle tight end was being mugged by a pair of Packer defensive backs in the end zone.</p><p>The Packers deserve credit for the victory. At the same time, as analyst Troy Aikman pointed out, the Seahawks were probably stripped of two TDs by questionable officiating decisions.</p><p>THE TRAINER&rsquo;S ROOM</p><p>Baltimore Raven running back Danny Woodhead suffered a hamstring injury against the Bengals and was carted off the field &#8230; Jaguars wideout Allen Robinson injured his left knee  in the first quarter and did not return against the Texans &#8230; The Philadelphia Eagles were handed a huge blow when cornerback Ronald Darby was carted off the field after suffering an ankle injury in the 30-17 victory over Washington. Darby was acquired to shore up the Eagles secondary from the Bills last month in a deal that sent wideout Jordan Matthews to Buffalo &#8230; Watt had a dislocated finger early in the game but returned to play.</p><p>EXTRA POINTS</p><p>With New England having lost to Kansas City and Miami&rsquo;s game against Tampa postponed because of Hurricane Irma, Buffalo&rsquo;s 21-12 victory over the New York Jets means the Bills are &mdash; wait for it &mdash; in first place in the AFC East. Yes it&rsquo;s Week 1, but that&rsquo;s still big news in western New York. Tyrod Taylor threw for 224 yards while LeSean McCoy scampered for 110 &#8230; While Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four TDs in the 35-23 win over Arizona, the big news is that star Cardinals running back David Johnson injured his wrist and will have an MRI on it Monday. Also of concern for the Cards: Quarterback Carson Palmer looked rattled in throwing three picks &#8230; The hapless Indianapolis Colts went 0-for-10 on third down in a 46-9 beatdown at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams &#8230; In Houston, Jags rookie running back Leonard Fournette bulled his way to 100 yards on the ground and ran for a touchdown.&nbsp;</p></p>		</div>
