After a sub-par Monday night performance, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos host the Houston Texans in an AFC clash on Sunday afternoon.

Despite a late rally, the Broncos (1-1) couldn't completely erase a one-time 27-7 deficit at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons, ultimately falling 27-21 in Week 2. Although they out-gained Atlanta by 61 yards offensively, Manning threw three interceptions and was sacked three times, finishing with a quarterback rating of 58.5.

Meanwhile, Houston has never won its opening three games in franchise history, but it's positioned well -- at least statistically -- this time around. The Texans enter the fray No. 1 in the league in both total defense (196.0 yards per game) and scoring defense (8.5 points per game).

The Texans forced four turnovers in a season-opening 30-10 defeat of the Dolphins, then allowed just 117 total yards in a 27-7 victory over the Jaguars last week.

"These two (games) are behind us, and it's time to start looking forward," Houston head coach Gary Kubiak said. "We know we've got a huge test coming down there, with Peyton leading the way for them and the type of player he is."
