Klein's 36-yard catch sets up Texans' only TD; validates 12 formation investment.

Klein opened the game as a starting TE in Houston's 12 formation offensive scheme. Despite being characterized as potentially overdrafted since his second-round selection, he delivered the Texans' biggest play of the night: a 36-yard catch from Davis Mills that flipped field position and set up Houston's only score. The source notes that if Klein can build on this performance, it bodes well for Houston's 12 formation plans, which require quality TEs that can catch and block.
