Luckily this ain’t Madden. You already know what happens when down 21-0. So with that said so much more game to be played. Texans off to one helluva start to this one on the road

However, his Lakers teammate LeBron James didn't enjoy the same fate while rooting for the Texans. Despite going 21-0 up in the 1st quarter, Texans were thrashed by the Chiefs at the Arrowhead Stadium. LeBron James expressed his delight with Texans' start to the game on Twitter, stating the Texans played like a video game side. However, Texans lost the game which prompted another tweet from James.
Just waking back up from a nap! SHEESH that game took a quick turn the opposite way! Guess it’s true, it ain’t how you start, it’s how you finish it. See the homie @tkelce in his 💼!!
