Texans legends Jeff Driskel and Johnny Johnson III engineer a 90-yard 2-minute drill TD drive to win the game for new HC Lovie Smith. Rookie RB Pierce averaged almost 10 yards per carry in his few snaps in the 1st half. From what I can tell, no injuries for the Texans and the fans in attendance go home happy even if it is “just preseason.” Overall, not a bad way to kick off the 2022 football year.

Postgame thread.

Might have a 2nd Qtr. thread, might not. Stay tuned in the comments for a featured comment to alert a migration if necessary. A couple or three things to mention: 1) Please do NOT embed tweets, links to website pages, and animated GIFs or uploaded images. All such items will be deleted along with replies. Just text and emojis. 2) Y’all can make comments about commercials and halftime show in this thread. But, you can also head over to the separate thread I made for Commercials and Halftime topics if you want expanded convos (and you can post reaction tweets, gifs, etc. in that separate thread if you want to). The link is below. 3) There’ll be a postgame thread, as well. Enjoy the game!

Super Bowl commercials and halftime expanded convos thread: https://texanschat.com/super-bowl-commercials-halftime-show/

The fine folks at CNET have posted a large variety of 2022’s Super Bowl commercials, embedded on their web page for you to watch and laugh at (or despise and loathe entirely!). Thought I’d make a space for those who are wanting a fresh hangout space for that topic and to chat about the halftime show. You can of course make comments in the game thread, this is just a spot for expanded conversations and a library to display many of the commercials for this year’s Super Bowl.
