The Buffalo Bills will likely start rookie guard Cyril Richardson in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. That could spell some trouble for the Bills, considering the Texans defensive front — which includes J.J. Watt — is one of the fiercest in the league.

Despite the tough challenge ahead, Richardson is looking forward to his first career start.

“I’m real excited,” Richardson said Thursday per the Buffalo News. “I’ve put a lot of good work in this week. Watching [Watt] play, you hear his name all the time. To actually be able to play against him, it’s real exciting.”

While the Bills will have to keep a close eye on Richardson and how he handles his first start, their main focus will be getting back in the win column after losing for the first time this season in Week 2 at the hands of the San Diego Chargers.
