Here are the games slated for August, straight from NFL.com (I've also included the rest of the AFC South for your viewing pleasure):
| Week 1: at Arizona Cardinals Week 2: Atlanta Falcons Week 3: at Denver Broncos Aug. 28: San Francisco 49ers |
Week 1: at New York Jets Week 2: New York Giants Aug. 23: New Orleans Saints (CBS, 8 p.m.) Aug. 28: at Cincinnati Bengals |
Week 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Aug. 14: at Chicago Bears (ESPN, 8 p.m.) Week 3: at Detroit Lions Aug. 28: Atlanta Falcons |
Week 1: Green Bay Packers Week 2: at New Orleans Saints Week 3: at Atlanta Falcons Aug. 28: Minnesota Vikings |
The ever-important Week 3 matchup (because it's typically the closest to a regular season game, at least in terms of how much the starters play) features the Texans traveling to Denver to face the reigning AFC Champion Denver Broncos. Because of course it does.
Sadly, we won't get to enjoy watching Lestar Jean tear it up in August like he always does; the Texans don't play the Minnesota Vikings this preseason.
Leave any thoughts you might have about the Texans' 2014 preseason schedule in the Comments.
