The Houston Texans (7-6) will be looking for their first win at Lucas Oil Stadium when they kick off against the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts (9-4) on Sun-day at noon CT. A win for the Texans would keep them in the playoff hunt and within a game of the Colts in the division standings.Houston is coming off back-to-back wins, the most

recent of which was a 27-13 victory at Jacksonville last Sunday. The Texans held the Jaguars to 2 yards rush-ing and just 73 yards overall in the second half to help

overcome a 13-10 halftime deficit. RB Arian Foster ran for 127 yards and one touchdown to lead the offense. DE J.J. Watt continued his stel-lar season by tying a career-high with three sacks against the Jaguars.Foster has scored a touchdown in seven consecutive games and is half

of the Texans 1,000-yard rushing-receiving duo. The sixth-year back has churned out 1,028 yards on the ground and has been complemented by a breakout campaign from second-year WR DeAndre Hopkins, who leads the team with 1,090 yards receiving. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has been stellar in his return to the starting lineup, throwing for nearly 500 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last two games. The Texans lead the NFL with 29 takeaways from 12 different players.

Watt is at the forefront of that group with 14.5 sacks and NFL-bests of 41 quarterback hits, 20 tackles for loss and five fumble recoveries. The Colts are coming off a 25-24 comeback win at Cleveland last Sun-

day. QB Andrew Luck found WR T.Y. Hilton from a yard out with 32 seconds remaining for the game-winning score against the Browns. The pair has hooked up 78 times for 1,295 yards and seven touch-

downs this season and leads the NFL’s top offensive unit, which averag-es 432.4 yards and 31.7 points per game. Luck leads the NFL with 4,305 yards passing and has thrown 36 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in addition to rushing for three touchdowns.Indianapolis won the first meeting between the teams this season, 33-

28, in Week 6 at NRG Stadium. The Texans fell behind 24-0 in the first quarter but battled back thanks to a pair of rushing touchdowns by Fos-ter and a 45-yard fumble return for a score by Watt. The Colts knocked the ball loose from Fitzpatrick on a potential game-winning drive with less than two minutes remaining to end the comeback bid.

Bill O’Brien was named the third head coach in Houston Tex-ans franchise history on Friday, Jan. 3, 2014. The 45-year old brings 21 years of collegiate and NFL coaching experience to the Bayou City in addition to a tireless work ethic, relentless tenacity, exceptional football acumen and a well-earned repu-tation for succeeding against all odds. O’Brien spent 2012 and 2013 leading Penn State through

one of the greatest periods of strife any major college program has endured, garnering national and conference coach-of-the-year awards in the process. In the five years prior to his tenure at Penn State, O’Brien helped lead the New England Patriots to a pair of Su-per Bowl berths, first as an offensive assistant in 2007 and again in 2011 as offensive coordinator. In addition to replacing Joe Paterno,

the all-time winningest head coach in NCAA Football Bowl Division history, O’Brien was saddled with guiding PSU through heavy scholarship reductions, a four-year postseason ban and an open transfer policy amidst the public aftermath of a devastating scandal that threatened the football program’s sto-ried existence. O’Brien led PSU to wins in eight of its

last 10 games in 2012 to finish 8-4. He also served as offensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions and was named the Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN National Coach of the Year. He won more games than any other first-year head coach in the pro-gram’s previous 125 seasons. O’Brien was also named the Big Ten coach of the year by both media and coaches. PSU posted a 7-5 record in 2013 and had upset wins against 18th-ranked Michigan and 14th-ranked Wisconsin. O’Brien rose from offensive assistant

with the Patriots in 2007 to wide re-ceivers coach in 2008 and then quarterbacks coach from 2009-10 prior to his promotion to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2011. The Patriots led the AFC in scoring and advanced to Super Bowl XLVI with O’Brien coordi-nating the offense in 2011. In O’Brien’s second season as quarterbacks coach with the Patriots in 2010, Tom Brady was selected the first unanimous Asso-ciated Press NFL MVP after leading the Patriots to an NFL-best 14-2 mark. O’Brien began his coaching career as tight ends coach at Brown in 1993

before serving as inside linebackers coach in 1994. He joined Georgia Tech’s staff in 1995 as a graduate assistant. After three seasons coaching running backs, O’Brien was promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2001 and assistant head coach in 2002. O’Brien coached running backs at Maryland from 2003-04 before serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Duke from 2005-06. O’Brien played linebacker and defensive end at

Brown, where he graduated with a double concen-tration in political science and organizational behav-ioral management in 1992.O’Brien and his wife, Colleen, have two sons: Jack

and Michael.

Chuck Pagano’s 2013 Colts went 11-5, captured the AFC South crown and advanced to the AFC Divisional against New England. Pagano’s 2012 season proved to be one of the most

inspirational stories in NFL history. Named head coach of the Indianapolis Colts on Jan. 25, 2012, Pagano was forced to take a leave of absence just three games into

the season after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a curable form of the disease, which is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow cells. Serving as the team’s interim head

coach, Bruce Arians and the Colts defied the odds and rallied to a 9-3 record before Pagano returned after missing 12 weeks of action. The Colts ended the season with an 11-5 record, before falling to eventual Su-per Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The 11-5 record was a nine-win im-

provement from the 2011 campaign, which tied for the third-largest one-year turnaround in NFL history. Pa-gano and Arians were honored to-gether by the Maxwell Football Club as the recipients of the 24th Annual Earle “Greasy” Neale Award for Pro-fessional Coach of the Year. The two also garnered AFC Coach of the Year honors as winners of the an-nual NFL 101 Awards. Pagano was selected by the PFWA as the winner of the 2013 George Halas Award, given to an NFL player, coach or staff member who overcame the most adversity to succeed. The 2014 season is Pagano’s 31st

year of coaching and 13th season in the NFL. Prior to joining the Colts, he spent four seasons with the Bal-timore Ravens and the last (2011) as the team’s defensive coordina-tor. Pagano posted a one-year stint as the defensive coordinator at North Carolina (2007). Prior to UNC, Pagano spent two seasons (2005-06) as the defensive backs coach of the Oakland Raiders. From 2001-04, Pagano coached the Cleveland secondary. Pagano returned to the University of Miami (1995-00) for his second stint at the school, coaching the Hurricanes secondary as well as serving as the special teams coordinator. Pagano started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at South-

ern California (1984-85) before taking the same role at Miami (1986). From 1987 to 1994, Paga-no enjoyed stints at East Carolina, UNLV and Boise State. Pagano was a four-year letterman and two-year starter at strong safety at Fairview (Boulder, Colo.) High School. Chuck and his wife, Tina, have three daughters, Tara, Taylor and Tori, and three granddaughters, Avery, Ad-dison and Zoey.

Game write-up courtesy of the Associated Press

When Indianapolis raced to a big lead over the Houston Texans in the first quarter, Colts coach Chuck Pagano was worried they’d let up.They did, but that early lead was so big that they were still able to hold on for

a 33-28 victory Thursday night.The Colts led 24-0 after one quarter, but allowed Houston to cut it to 33-28

early in the fourth quarter on DE J.J. Watt’s fumble return for a touchdown.The Texans had two opportunities to take the lead late, but the Colts recov-

ered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last five minutes.Colts QB Andrew Luck finished with 370 yards passing and three touch-

downs for his fourth straight 300-yard passing game and T.Y. Hilton had a career-high 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.The Texans were driving with less than five minutes remaining when Johnson

— called for pass interference two plays earlier — caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.Watt knocked down Luck’s pass on third down on Indy’s next drive to give

Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball and D’Qwell Jackson recovered.Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and Arian Foster had 109

yards rushing with two scores for Houston.Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned

it 45 yards for a touchdown. It was Watt’s third touchdown this season. He also has scored on an interception return and a reception.Foster had a 34-yard run before Johnson grabbed a 26-yard reception to get

Houston down to the 2 in the third quarter. Foster ran wide before cutting back inside and into the end zone untouched on the next play to get the Texans to 27-21.The Texans were within six points in the third quarter when Luck, who was

under heavy pressure, threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Hilton. The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.After a first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans’ offense

finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a field goal on fourth-and-5, but the Colts got a penalty to give Houston a new set of downs.They took advantage of the opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the

corner of the end zone and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass by Luck that was

intercepted by Justin Tuggle.The Texans got to 24-14 when Foster scored on a 12-yard run.The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indy’s of-

fense stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that includ-

ed a 49-yard pass to Hilton.The play was originally ruled a touchdown after Hilton recovered from a fall

seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached the end zone. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, with Hilton ruled down by contact at the 5.The Colts pushed the lead to 17-0 when Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a

5-yard pass from Luck with about seven minutes left in the first quarter.The Texans had to punt again after Fitzpatrick was sacked by Werner for an

8-yard loss on third down after Bradshaw’s score.Luck capped a long drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Coby Fleener at

the end of the first quarter to extend the lead to 24-0.

BILL O’BRIEN TRANSCRIPT

BILL O’BRIEN PRESS CONFERENCEMonday, December 8, 2014

NRG Stadium

(on giving the players the day off today) “I think that’s a lot about rest and I also think that these guys have put a lot of work into this thing all the way back to training camp. We get a lot done on Wednesdays. The other thing too is what’s interesting about our football team is all of these guys have been in here either today—a lot of these guys are in here, I just saw (J.J.) Watt working out, (Brian) Cushing—all of them will be in here tomorrow getting treatment, working out and watching tape. It’s good at this time of the season, in my opinion, just solely my opinion, is kind of have a separation there between the coaches and the players for a couple days. We can game plan, get a lot of things done and then they are ready to ramp it up on Wednesday.”

(on never winning at Indianapolis) “We’re well aware that we have not won there. We’re aware of that. I think you guys know that from yesterday after the game, but at the same time this is a totally different team than any of those teams in the past. This is the 2014 version of the Texans and that’s the 2014 version of the Indianapolis Colts. They’re a very, very good team. They have a great quarterback, great coaching staff. It’s a big challenge for us. Our guys know that they’re going to have to put a lot into this week in order to go up there and meet that challenge, but our guys are excited about it. They’re very excited about it. We’ll get it going on like I said, on Wednesday.”

(on if he talks about with the team that it has never won at India-napolis or do they avoid that conversation) “I don’t think you can hide from it. It’s out there. Everybody knows that. A lot of guys have been here. Andre (Johnson), he’s been here for a lot of those. I think it’s not anything that we—but again, it is in the past like (reporter) said. It is in the past. This is a different team. We feel like we’re playing pretty well right now and we’re really looking for to the challenge, and we know it’s a big challenge.”

(on where things stand with Andre Johnson and the concussion protocol) “That’s exactly where it stands though. He has to pass the concussion test to be able to be cleared. I would say that’s definitely a day-to-day thing.”

(on if anything stood out to him after watching the film) “I wouldn’t say anything stood out. You know what I really liked about yesterday’s game? I didn’t think as a team we came out and played a very good first half. I thought that we went in at halftime and really regrouped. I thought the coaches did a really good job of making some adjustments and then the players, most importantly the players, went out there and performed those adjustments and did a really good job of playing a good second half of football. This is a resilient team. This is a team that really com-petes hard to the final whistle, and that’s what I enjoy about this team. I like the fact that they were able to turn it around in the second half and win the football game.”

(on what he felt about S D.J. Swearinger’s play) “I thought he had a good game yesterday. He did a good job in the game. I thought de-fensively, in the secondary, I thought all those guys had a good football game. Everybody competed out there. D.J. had a nice interception that was a big play in the game. I think that he had a good game and they all did. They all did.”

(on if CB Kareem Jackson returning helped the secondary’s play) “That helps, definitely. Any time you get Kareem Jackson back in there, that certainly helped our unit yesterday, no doubt about it.

(on what makes Colts QB Andrew Luck tough to play against) “I have a lot of respect for this guy. Just watching him play, he is a very confident quarterback right now. He’s a great competitor and he’s a big strong guy who has a great arm and a very accurate passer. He never thinks that the play is over. He competes until the last second. I mean, he is going after it. He’s scrambling around trying to make plays for his team. He’s a very smart quarterback. He’s able to get them into the right plays, you can tell. He does a great job with his cadence. He does a great job with the tempo. Pep Hamilton does a great job with calling plays for him. Like I said, they have a very strong coaching staff and we have a lot of respect for Andrew Luck and that offense.”

(on the veteran leadership of T Duane Brown and others from yes-terday at halftime) “I think we have a good veteran group. We’ve got guys that have played a lot of football. Duane Brown stands up, that’s like they used to say about E.F. Hutton, when Duane Brown stands up and when he wants to say something, people want to listen. That’s for sure. I could say that about any of those veterans: Johnathan Joseph, obviously (J.J.) Watt, Andre Johnson, Shane Lechler, Brian Cushing. Those guys stand up—Arian Foster—they say something, people listen. They’ve been successful in a lot of games in this league, so we have had some good leadership this year and it needs to continue. We need good leadership this week to have a good week of practice to be able to go up there and try to play our best football game.”

(on the development of DE Jeoffrey Pagan) “I think he has improved. I really do. I think that he is a guy that has worked really hard. You know, he is out there in pre-practice working a lot with Bill Kollar. He works a lot with J.J. (Watt) and I think we have played him more and more over the last two or three games and he’s definitely an improved player and I think he’s got a good future in this league.”

(on preparing for Colts WR T.Y. Hilton) “He’s a really, really good player. He is one of the best receivers in the league. He is fast. He’s got good hands. He’s a great route runner. He’s going to get his production. I mean, it’s going to be really hard to, anytime you have a guy like that, it’s very, very difficult to just say you’re going to just stop this guy. I mean, that’s just not the way it’s going to be. But we have to make sure that we know where he is on every single play and we have a lot of respect for him as a receiver. He is one of the best receivers we have played against this year.”



to play disciplined defense. We had to play disciplined yesterday vs. (Blake) Bortles because of his escapability and his athletic ability. This guy, Luck, is a great pocket passer. He is great on the move. He just has all facets of a quarterback, of what you’re looking for. His athletic ability is really excellent. You have to do a great job of teaching the guys about their rush lane integrity, making sure that they rush to the level of the quarterback and don’t let him run out of there. Understand that he may run up inside if you open up a rush lane inside, so yeah it’s a big game as far as our discipline goes and as far as our rush lanes go.”

(on the team learning how to recover from tough loses since the last time they played the Colts) “I think it’s a good point. I think that these guys, it’s kind of what I was saying just upstairs to one of the guys upstairs, one of the things I liked about yesterday was we didn’t play a great first half of football. Give Jacksonville a lot of credit for that. They played better than us. They coached better than us in the first half. I thought our guys came in at halftime and really had a resolve about them that they were going to go out and win the game and that they were going to play better over the last half of the game. I think that has improved over the year. The thing that happened in the last Indianapolis game cannot happen. I mean, if it does, we have no chance. We cannot allow a surprise onside. We cannot turn the ball over. We can’t get down like that to a really good football team and expect to win, especially on the road. I did think in that game that our guys fought back and we were close in the fourth quarter, but, you know, like I always say, close isn’t good enough. This game we have to limit the mistakes and we have to play a much better football game than we did in the first game.”

(on if he talks to the team about playoff scenarios) “Well, this is a playoff game. This game, right here, is a playoff game. As far as that’s concerned, as far as our team, this is a big game. A big game. It’s a divi-sion game. They are the number one team in our division right now. They have a two game lead on us. They are 9-4. We are 7-6. It’s a big game. It is what it is. We’ve got to go out there, have fun, practice, practice hard, and fly around. We have to be ready to go up there and play our best football game because if we don’t play our best football game we are not going to win. We have to go up there and play our best football game and let the chips fall where they may.”

(on WR Damaris Johnson’s role with the offense) “It really does just depend. I think the guy has made some big catches for us. He’s had some big plays for us throughout the season. He has played on special teams; he has returned punts and he returned kickoffs yesterday. I mean, the guy does a little bit of everything for us. That slot position is a very important position for us. We certainly want it to be more involved probably than it has been this year. It’s not D.J.’s fault. He has really worked hard on it and I thought yesterday he came up with some really big plays for us which were really important in the game.”

(on if WR DeVier Posey will be active if WR Andre Johnson can’t play) “Yeah, certainly. I think if Andre were not, if he was not able to go, then Posey would definitely be a candidate to be on the 46 roster on game day.”

(on handling Colts QB Andrew Luck on third-and-long) “You have to be very, very disciplined. Not anymore than usual. You always have

Texans RB Arian Foster started right, found nothing but defenders be-tween him and the goal line, then headed the other way.It was his best decision of the day.Foster ran for 127 yards and a touchdown, which came on a nifty cut-

back move, and the Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-13 on Sunday to stay in the muddled AFC playoff picture.It gave the Texans (7-6) consecutive wins for the first time in nearly

three months.Foster’s 1-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter was the play of the

game. After QB Ryan Fitzpatrick got stuffed on third down, the Texans lined up for a field goal before calling time out and opting to go for it. Foster emphatically told coach Bill O’Brien he wanted the ball.Foster initially looked he would be stopped for a loss, but he eluded a

tackle, headed in the other turned the other way and high-stepped into the end zone.The Texans didn’t gain any ground on AFC South-leading Indianapolis,

which edged Cleveland, but they kept pace in the crowded wild-card race.The Jaguars (2-11) led 13-10 at halftime, but did little after the break.Jacksonville managed just 4 yards in the third quarter, and Blake Bor-

tles threw his NFL-leading 16th interception of the season. The turnover gave Houston its best field position of the day and led to Foster’s TD run.With a chilly, misty rain falling and Jacksonville trailing, fans didn’t both-

er returning to the stands. EverBank Field was mostly empty during the second half, an embarrassing sight for a franchise fighting to overcome attendance problems. Jacksonville managed 73 yards in the second half, holding the ball for

just nine-plus minutes, and Bortles nearly threw three more picks.DE J.J. Watt created major problems, finishing with three sacks and

five quarterback hits. The Jaguars lost starting RT Austin Pasztor last week and went with unproven veteran Sam Young. Not surprisingly, Watt dominated the matchup. He was most disruptive once the Texans took a double-digit lead. Fitzpatrick completed 13 of 19 passes for 135 yards. He had a 4-yard

run in the second quarter that put the Texans up 10-7. Jacksonville retook the lead on Josh Scobee’s two field goals, the

first coming on a fourth-and-inches play at the Houston 16. Coach Gus Bradley, with nothing to lose in another losing season, opted to play safe.It ultimately backfired.And the Texans eventually took advantage. They had 124 yards, six

first downs and no third-down conversions in the first half. Making mat-ters worse, they lost WR Andre Johnson because of a concussion.Johnson left early in the second quarter after being hit in the head by

Jaguars LB Telvin Smith. Teammates rushed to his side and motioned for trainers. Johnson eventually walked off the field under his own power, but later headed to the locker room for good. He ended the day with four receptions for 17 yards.The Texans regrouped in the locker room — and it showed it the sec-

ond half.

GM AND EXECUTIVE VP RICK SMITH/ASSISTANT COACHES

Rick Smith oversees all football-related operations and the player acquisition process as Houston Texans Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager. Smith is in his ninth season as Gen-eral Manager and fourth as Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Named general manager by owner Bob McNair on

June 5, 2006, Smith’s appointment made him the youngest general manager in the NFL at 36. Since

then, Smith has assembled and led a football operations staff that prides itself on providing players and coaches with the tools needed for success on and off the field, regardless of scheme.Smith’s leadership, vision and success have garnered recognition by the

league. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appointed Smith to the NFL’s prestigious Competition Committee on Dec. 5, 2008. His peers honored him with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Alliance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith was an original member of the General Managers Advisory Committee, which pro-vides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations depart-ment on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the league.The Texans won their second consecutive AFC South division crown in

2012 and advanced to the Divisional round of the playoffs in 2011 and 2012, compiling a 22-10 regular season record that tied for the second-best mark in the AFC. Houston set a franchise mark with a 12-4 record in 2012; a 10-win improvement under Smith’s leadership. Smith’s tenure in Houston be-gan with a 6-10 record, followed by a pair of 8-8 records in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, the Texans posted the first winning season in franchise history, narrowly missing the playoffs at 9-7. Houston bounced back from a 6-10 mark in 2010, going 10-6 in 2011, winning the AFC South and securing a playoff berth, both franchise firsts.Collectively, the Texans’ current roster, all acquired by Smith, with the ex-

ception of Andre Johnson, has earned 26 Pro Bowl selections, 18 first- or second-team Associated Press All-Pro distinctions, one Defensive Player of the Year award and one Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Smith’s eight first-round picks between 2007-14 have combined to start

417 of the 442 games they have played. Three of the eight have earned All-Pro honors: left tackle Duane Brown, linebacker Brian Cushing and defensive end J.J. Watt. Watt, the 11th overall pick in 2011, was named the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year following one of the best defensive performances in NFL history and a league-leading 20.5 sacks. Unrestricted free agents have also thrived in Houston on Smith’s watch. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph has been to the league’s all-star game twice since join-ing the Texans from Cincinnati in 2011. Smith also orchestrated the trades that brought quarterback Matt Schaub from Atlanta in 2007 and center Chris Myers from Denver in 2008. Both earned multiple Pro Bowl berths with the franchise. Smith places a premium on college free agents. The most well-known col-

lege free agent success story in Texans history is running back Arian Foster. Undrafted out of Tennessee in 2009, Foster won the 2010 rushing title and had three consecutive Pro Bowl nods. In his former role leading the Denver Broncos pro personnel department,

the franchise posted the league’s fifth-best regular-season record from 2000-05, going 61-35 (.635). The 61 wins were the most of any AFC West team during that span and Denver was one of only four teams in the NFL to reach the playoffs each season from 2003-05.

TAKEAWAYS AND LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Houston leads the NFL lead with 29 takeaways and is on pace to be-come the third team in the last 20 years to go from last in takeaways one year to first the next. The Texans ranked last with 11 takeaways in 2013.Only the 2004 Buffalo Bills and 1999 Philadelphia Eagles have accom-

plished the feat in the last 20 years. Buffalo had a league-low 18 take-aways in 2003 and bounced back to lead the NFL with 39 in 2004. The Eagles were last with 17 takeaways in 1998 before leading the NFL with 46 takeaways in 1999.

TEXANS ON PACE FOR RARE TAKEAWAY TURNAROUND

Houston is tied with Green Bay for the NFL lead with 103 points scored off its league-leading 29 takeaways. That point total is the second-high-est in team history to the 119 points scored in off 27 takeaways in 2011.

The Texans are tied with Philadelphia and Arizona for having the most takeaway points scored against opposing offenses with 28. Houston has tied a franchise single-season record with three interceptions returned for touchdowns to go along with a fumble return for a touchdown. The 28 points off takeaway returns is the second-highest single-season total in franchise history. Houston scored 36 points off takeaway returns in 2004.

CAPITALIZING



The Houston Texans lead the NFL with 29 takeaways and have a plus-12 turnover differential. Historically, when the Texans win the turnover battle, they win the game

75.3 percent of the time. The Texans are 16-1 all-time when having a turnover margin of +3 or greater and 2-16 all-time when the margin is -3 or less. Those numbers reflect the NFL’s numbers as a whole since 2010, where teams are 227-10 when holding a +3 or better turnover advantage.

Further, the Texans are 19-0 when holding a +2 turnover margin and outgaining an opponent. Houston has only lost five times in team history when they win the turnover battle and outgain an opponent.

TURNOVERS ARE KEY

TEXANS NOTES

Since 2011, Houston has the lowest opponent completion percentage in the NFL at 56.2 percent. That has no doubt been aided by the fact that the Texans defense has posted an NFL-best 419 quarterback hits since 2011. The Texans have either led the league or ranked second in quarterback hits each year since 2011. The Texans are the only team to post more than 100 quarterback hits each season since 2011 and are on pace to do so again in 2014.

ANDRE AND DEANDRE QUITE A PAIR

TEXANS NOTES

Houston is one of four teams with a 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver. RB Arian Foster ranks third in the AFC with 1,028 yards rushing and WR DeAndre Hopkins is fifth in the AFC with 1,090 yards receiving. Pittsburgh’s duo of RB Le’Veon Bell (1,231 yards rushing) and WR Antonio Brown (1,375 yards receiving), Dallas WR Dez Bryant (1,034) and RB DeMarco Murray (1,606) and Philadelphia’s tandem of RB LeSean McCoy (1,058) and WR Jeremy Maclin (1,109) are the other pairs that have crossed the 1,000-yard threshold.

FOSTER AND HOPKINS IN THE THE 1,000-YARD CLUB

Houston set a franchise record by only holding Jacksonville to 2 yards rushing on five carries in the second of a 27-13 win in Week 14. It was the third consecutive game that the Texans had held an opponent to less than 10 yards rushing in the second half on the road. The Texans held Cleveland to 3 yards rushing on seven carries in the

second half of a 23-7 win in Week 11. Prior to the Cleveland game, Houston held Tennessee to 9 yards on three second-half carries in a 30-16 Week 8 win. Houston’s defense has allowed 14 yards rushing on 15 carries in the

second half of its last three road games combined, all of which were wins. Overall, the Texans have held opponents to 76 yards rushing or less in

each of their last four road games. It marks the second time in franchise history the team has held its last four road opponents to less than 100 yards rushing in a single season. The team also did that in 2009.

RUSHING LANES CLOSED ON THE ROAD

Houston leads the NFL with 29 takeaways and has picked off 16 pass-es. The Texans lead the NFL with 103 points off turnovers. Part of the reason Houston has converted the turnovers into points is a league-lead-ing and team-record 422 interception return yards (26.4avg.)

Houston’s dominance on both sides of the ball in the run game against Tennessee in Week 8 capped off a strong month on the ground for the Texans. Houston led the NFL with 164.0 yards rushing per game and six rushing touchdowns in October and ranked fifth with 86.3 yards allowed. RB Arian Foster enjoyed the first stretch of four consecutive 100-yard games in his career during the month.

RUNNING THROUGH OCTOBER

The Houston Texans have never had a pair of receivers with 1,000 yards each in a season. That may change in 2014. WR Andre Johnson and WR DeAndre Hopkins could both reach the mark in 2014. Hopkins leads the team with 1,090 yards receiving, followed by Johnson with 737 yards.The closest a pair of Texans have come to reaching the mark was

in 2008, when Johnson led the league with 1,575 yards receiving and was complemented by former teammates Kevin Walter (899 yards) and Owen Daniels (862 yards). Johnson and Hopkins were within that realm in 2013, when Johnson had 1,407 yards receiving and Hopkins had 802.There have only been three instances in franchise history where two

Texans had at least 500 yards receiving at the midpoint of the season.

JOHNSON AND HOPKINS A 1,000-YARD DUO?

The Texans offense thrives on using the right tempo at the right time. Houston will use huddle-tempo, no-huddle and in-between tempo and will huddle, depending on the flow of the game. One constant is that when the team wins the time of possession battle, it also wins the game.

BALL CONTROL AND FIRST DOWNS KEY FOR TEXANS



TEXANS NOTES

On Thursday, Aug. 7, Texans Owner Bob McNair re-vealed that he had been battling cancer for the last 10 months and now has a clean bill of health. McNair broke the news to John McClain of the Houston

Chronicle that he battled two forms of cancer under an assumed name at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. He later met with Houston media at NRG Stadium and

told them about the treatment he underwent for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and squamos cell cancer. Following are excerpts from McNair’s press conference

“For six weeks, I had radiation every morning, so it was a total of 30 treatments, I think, and I had chemotherapy up through about the fourth week. The good news is these things can be dealt with. Shortly there-after, I think maybe in April, I went in and had the first CT scan and I was clean of all the cancer cells at that point in time, and have since, gone in this past Monday and got a clean bill of health report again, so at this point in time, it’s history. I guess the message is we need to use sunscreen; if you have fair skin and you’re out in the sun quite a bit, I suggest you wear a hat, which I do all of the time now. There are many forms of cancer that can be cured, can be dealt with, we’re making great progress. In the past if you mentioned cancer, people thought, ‘Well, it’s a death sentence’ and that’s just not nearly the case. I think with some people, it frightens them, so they don’t seek treatment. The message is, there is treatment, we got great facilities here, there are great people who can take care of you, and can deal with these illnesses with great success...

“...During the time that I was undergoing treatment, my immune system was low, so I did not have any contact with the public, but I was on the phone every day. My son Cal is chief operating officer, I would be talking to him every day, Rick Smith, Coach O’ Brien, and I was able to maintain constant contact with them and I plan to continue. Someone asked me what my plans are and I said, ‘Well, I plan on winning some Super Bowls. That’s what we’re here for’ and they said, ‘well, I hope you are able to accomplish that and that you have enough time to do it’. I said, ‘My dad lived to be 102, so I think I am going to have enough time.’ Fortunately, we have a great organization and my son Cal (McNair) has been handling more and more responsibilities as we go forward and he works well with Rick Smith and Coach O’Brien, so we’re in great shape. Jamey Rootes runs our business operations for us and does a great job, so we’re in terrific shape. I’ll continue being the CEO and continue doing everything I can to put together a winning football team, and that’s what we’re all about. We won this other battle and now we have to win the battle on the football field. So, I wanted you to know exactly what the situation is and not be concerned about it because I am healthy at this point in time. I’m playing golf again, and expect to be able to continue doing that for a long period of time. I go to all of the games, home and away, and I plan to continue doing that and will be as involved as I have been, but I think I will enjoy it more and let some of the other people in the organization worry more. I’ll skip the worrying and I’ll take the enjoy-ment, so that’s pretty much the story.”

(on what some of the biggest challenges were for him as he was going through treatment) “Well, I guess in terms of the treatment,

McNAIR GIVEN CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH with radiation and chemotherapy, people react differently to it. When I first started the radiation, the first three weeks or so, I thought, ‘Boy, Dr. Rosenthal keeps telling me about how tough this is. I mean, this is easy.’ He also said there’s a cumulative effect. Well, about fourth week, fifth week, the cumulative effect kicked in. That was when it was a little more difficult to deal with but fortunately with the chemotherapy I was never nauseated, never got sick or anything and Roberta Anding, our nutrition-ist at that time, had given me turmeric. It’s the herb that they use quite a bit in India in cooking and I took that along with some other supplements and it’s anti-toxic. It’s to offset the toxicity from the chemotherapy. For me it really worked. I also did take some medication along with it. But I was fortunate because everybody said, ‘You’re really going to feel bad from that,’ but fortunately that was not the case.”

The Houston Texans and G David Quessenberry have raised $100,000 for the Lymphoma Research Foundation with the proceeds from TEXANS FOR DQ t-shirt sales, in honor of Quessenberry, the second-year offensive line-man who was diagnosed with lymphoma in June. The entire offensive line, led by Chris Myers and

Duane Brown, have dedicated the 2014 season to their teammate who has been battling the disease since June.

Brown and Myers set a goal to raise $100,000 with the sale of the TEXANS FOR DQ t-shirts to be donated to the LRF in Quessenber-ry’s name. It was announced at the Indianapolis game on Oct. 9 that the goal had been reached. Quessenberry, who served as an honorary captain at the game, talked

to reporters about his battle prior to the coin toss:“I think it’s a great way to raise awareness for lymphoma,” Quessenber-

ry said. “It’s a disease that affects more than 700,000 people in America and 80,000 people will be diagnosed with it this year. One person gets diagnosed with it every seven seconds. If I can bring awareness to the situation, that’s what I’m going to do and I’m going to do my best to do it. A lot of young people are being diagnosed with lymphoma, more than ever before. The numbers have grown exponentially in the past 10 years. So, what I’m trying to do is raise awareness for young people to catch it early, because that’s what it’s all about in this fight.”The shirts made their public debut on Saturday, Aug. 2 when Texans

coaches and support staff donned the shirts designed by Running Game Clothing for their morning practice. The final open practice of training camp on Aug. 14 was proclaimed

DQStrong Day by the City of Houston. Texans staff members, fans and members of the Atlanta Falcons showed their support by wearing the shirts. Indianapolis Head Coach Chuck Pagano also showed his support with an “Indianapolis for DQ” t-shirt. Supporters can follow David on Twitter or Instagram @DavidQberry

and show their support with a #DQStrong tweet. He frequently posts messages and pictures to show his progress and his support for others who are fighting the same battle.Hashtag: #DQStrong #TexansforDQProceeds benefitting the Lymphoma Research Foundation: @lymphoma

TEXANS NOTES

The NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to expand NFL Prac-tice Squads for the 2014 and 2015 seasons on Aug. 19. Absent an ex-tension of the agreement, the current rules will be reinstated beginning with the 2016 season.Under the agreement, 2014 and 2015 Practice Squads will increase

from the current maximum of eight players to 10 players.In addition, the criteria for Practice Squad eligibility has been expanded

in two respects. First, a player must have a minimum of six games – up from the current

three games – on a Practice Squad in order for that season to count as one of the player’s three permissible seasons of Practice Squad service.Second, each club will be permitted to sign a maximum of two Practice

Squad players who have earned no more than two accrued seasons of free agency credit. Absent this exception, a player who has earned one or more accrued seasons would not be eligible for a Practice Squad un-less the player spent fewer than nine games on a club’s 46-player active list in each of his accrued seasons.All other practice squad rules under Article 33 of the 2011 Collective

Bargaining Agreement will remain in effect during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

PRACTICE SQUAD EXPANSION

The expansion of NFL practice squads from eight players to 10 is big for a number of reasons and ultimately improves the quality of play and serves the greater overall good of the sport. You don’t need to look any further than the Texans current roster to see proof of that.Three current Texans have made it to the Pro Bowl after spending time

on practice squads early in their careers: T Tyson Clabo, RB Arian Foster and C Chris Myers.Below are players on Houston’s current roster who have spent time on

a practice squad at some point in their careers:

He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week and the FedEX Air Player of the Week follow-ing the performance.The six touchdown passes set a franchise single-game

record. It was the 34th time in NFL history a player has thrown for six or more touchdown passes in a game. But it was only the seventh time since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 that a player has thrown for six touchdowns without being sacked in a game.

HOPKINS EMERGING

Hopkins

Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins will serve as an ambassador and spokesman for the Houston Food Bank and Souper Bowl of Caring in 2014.Hopkins hopes to raise awareness about hunger and help bring about hun-ger relief throughout the Houston community through volunteer activities, appearances and nutrition education. Hopkins knows the impact hunger can have on a family, as he grew up in

a single-parent home with four siblings who often struggled to have enough food to eat. His family relied on a food pantry for meals and nourishment for most of his childhood. “I want to be able to give hope to people who are struggling to provide food

for their family. I know how it feels to go to bed hungry and I also know if you keep working hard that your fate can change,” Hopkins said. “I hope to be able to raise awareness for both the Houston Food Bank and Souper Bowl of Caring so we can make a difference to those who need hunger relief.”NRG Stadium could be filled 16 times over with the amount of people who

are in need of hunger relief in Houston alone. The Houston Food Bank (HFB) is America’s largest food bank, distributing more food to its network of partner agencies than any other food bank in America. HFB serves 600 hun-ger relief charities in 18 southeast Texas counties. The Houston Food Bank provides 59 million nutritious meals to food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and other agencies, feeding 800,000 people each year. Additional community services include nutrition education, school-based programs, food stamp applications and hands-on job training. The Houston Food Bank enjoys a productive partnership with the Houston

Texans that was solidified when HFB moved to its newly renovated facility in 2011. In recognition of the partnership, the Food Bank gratefully named its volunteer gathering and break area the Houston Texans Cafe, where volun-teers and guests can access nutritious refreshments. Houston Texans Pres-ident Jamey Rootes serves on the Houston Food Bank board of directors. In addition, the Texans generate considerable funding for HFB through the annual Taste of the Texans, a culinary extravaganza featuring food and wine from Houston’s finest restaurants and caterers.Souper Bowl of Caring is a national youth-led movement of schools, con-

gregations, community organizations and compassionate individuals joining together to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities, transforming the time around the Super Bowl into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving. Since the program started in 1990, volunteers have collected more than $100 million in cash and food items, with all donations going directly to community food banks, soup kitchens or other charities chosen by each group. Under the advocacy and support from Houston Texans Founder, Chairman

and CEO Mr. Robert McNair, Souper Bowl of Caring has grown in Houston and the state of Texas since 2004. The Texans have been quick to provide the organization with the resources it needs to be successful in tackling hunger and have been generous in lending support at events to generate community excitement and involvement.

JOHNSON DEFYING AGING TREND

The odds of having a 1,000-yard receiving season in the NFL signifi-cantly drop once a player turns 30, as shown on the chart below. Texans WR Andre Johnson seemed to reflect that in an injury-plagued 2011 season, catching 33 passes for 492 yards in seven games as a 30-year old. But it was just a down year for the Texans all-time leading receiver.

He bounced back in 2012 with a career-high 1,598 yards receiving and recorded his seventh career 1,000-yard receiving season in 2013 with 1,407 yards at the age of 32. He also recorded the first back-to-back multi-touchdown games of his career in Weeks 9 (3) and 10 (2). According to data provided by Pro-Football-Reference.com, more play-

ers have had 1,000-yard seasons at age 27 (91) than any other age. From age 27 to 28, there is a 19.8 percent drop (91 to 73). From 29 to 30, there is a 32.4 percent drop in the number of 1,000-yard receivers, followed by a 22 percent drop from 30 to 31 and another 17.9 percent drop from 31 to 32. Johnson turned 33 in July and has 737 yards this season.

WR Andre Johnson eclipsed the 100-reception mark in a season for the fifth time in his career in 2013, tying him with Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall and Denver Broncos WR Wes Welker for the most 100-reception seasons in his career.

Johnson caught 112 passes for a career-best 1,598 yards in 2012. He is the second-oldest player to have 100 catches and 1,500 receiving yards in a season at 31 years, five months and 19 days old. Jerry Rice was the oldest to have a 100-1,500 season at 33 years, 2 months and 11 days old in 1995. There have only been 21 100-1,500 performances in NFL history. Be-

YARDS AND YEARS

Rumors of WR Andre Johnson’s decline early in the 2012 season were greatly exaggerated. Johnson had one of the best seasons of his 12-year career thanks to the most productive 8-game stretch of his ca-reer. Johnson caught 70 passes for 1,034 yards in the last eight regular season games (129.3 yards per game) of 2012. Houston’s quiet leader had 112 receptions for an AFC-best 1,598 yards.

He surpassed the 10,000-yard mark for his career in Week 6 against Green Bay, the 11,000-yard mark in Week 15 against Indianapolis, crossed the 12,000-yard mark in Week 8 of 2013 vs. Indianapolis and hit yet another milestone against Indianapolis in Week 6, surpassing 13,000 yards receiving .

HITTING THE MARKS FAST



OFFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES

Duane Brown has emerged as one of the NFL’s top left tackles in the last four seasons, earning a pair of Pro Bowl berths and All-Pro recognition. Brown had the best season of his career and one of the best seasons of any left tackle in the AFC in 2011. According to STATS LLC, Brown only gave up 2.5 sacks in 2011, which was the second-few-est of any full-time starter in the conference. In addition, Brown wasn’t called for a holding penalty despite being on

the field longer than any other left tackle in the NFL (Houston led the NFL in time of possession). He also earned AP All-Pro Second Team recogni-tion and a spot on USA Today’s All-Joe Team for his efforts. In 2012, Brown was named AP All-Pro First Team and earned his first

trip to the Pro Bowl for his play. He helped the Texans produce a 1,000-yard rusher for the third consecutive season and rank seventh in the NFL with 372.1 yards per game. In 2013, he earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl berth. Brown has only been penalized four times for holding in 103 career

games.

Watt

DE J.J. Watt scored his fifth touchdown of the season in Week 13 against Cleveland, adding another feat to a growing list of historical ac-complishments this season. Below is a look at how rare some of those accomplishments are. 1938 - Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Arnold becomes the first player in

NFL history with two touchdown catches, an interception-return touch-down and a fumble-return touchdown in a season. Watt became the only other player to do so following his touchdown catch in Week 11.1944 - Chicago Bears DE Connie Mack Berry had five overall touch-

downs (Stats, Inc.). He was the last defensive lineman to scored five touchdowns in a season until Watt’s touchdown catch against Tennes-see. 1956 - Chicago Bears DB J.C. Caroline scores multiple touchdowns

on offense and defense in the same season. Watt is the first player to equal that feat since Caroline, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.1982 - The NFL starts tracking sacks as an official statistic. Since then,

Watt is the only NFL player to register a sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery and touchdown reception in the same game.

It was the ninth fumble recovery of his career, putting him ahead of DeMeco Ryans, who held the previous franchise record with eight fumble recoveries from 2006-11. Watt has since added two more fumble recoveries and has broken Tim Dobbins’ franchise single-season mark of four, set in 2012. Watt leads the NFL this season with five fumble recoveries, the

most by a defensive lineman since Justin Tuck had five for the New York Giants in 2010. He leads the NFL with 11 fumble recoveries since 2011.In the last eight games in which Watt has recovered a fumble, he

has also had at least one sack, dating back to Week 2 of the 2012 season.

J.J. WATT NOTES

Texans DE J.J. Watt’s propensity to get his hands on quarterbacks and their passes earned him the moniker “J.J. Swatt.” Watt set an NFL record for a defensive lineman with 16 passes defensed and led the NFL with a franchise-record 20.5 sacks in 2012. Five of Watt’s 16 passes defensed in 2012 were picked off, with four

leading to Texans scores. He picked off one pass this season at the line of scrimmage and took it 80 yards for a touchdown in Week 4 against Buffalo. Watt also had a pick-six in the 2011 Wild Card game against Cincinnati.Since he has come into the NFL, Watt leads all defensive linemen

with 36 passes defensed. Watt led all defensive linemen in passes de-fensed in 2012.

DE J.J. Watt leads the NFL with 41 quarterback hits. The fourth-year former first-round pick set a career high with nine quarterback hits against Buffalo in Week 4, besting his previous career high of five, which he had set on six previous occasions. This is not a new phenomenon for Watt. He has led the NFL in quarter-

back hits each of the past two seasons, piling up 43 in 2012 and 46 in 2013, according to NFL statistics. To put that into perspective, Watt is the only player to record more than

40 quarterback hits in a season since 2000 and he is the only player to record more than 30 in a season more than once since 2000.Watt’s 51.0 sacks and 149 quarterback hits from 2012-14 are tops in

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

Texans LS Jon Weeks’ route to the NFL was quite cir-cuitous. A self-described “military brat,” Weeks was born in Bethpage, N.Y. and graduated from high school in Glendale, Ariz.As a senior at Mountain Ridge High, Weeks attended

a special teams camp, where he caught the eye of the coaches from Baylor University. He walked on at Baylor as a long snapper and eventually earned a scholarship.

After college, Weeks volunteered at a hospital and began a nine-week certification program to become a firefighter. Taking one last stab at his football dreams, he attended coach Gary zauner’s specialists combine and caught the attention of a Texans scout. The Texans invited Weeks for a tryout and signed him the following day, and Weeks won his roster spot during Houston’s 2010 training camp.Weeks has handled all snapping duties in his five seasons with the

Texans and has remained consistent at his job, totaling 772 extra-point, field-goal and punt snaps in 81 regular season and postseason games.

Houston Texans P Shane Lechler set a franchise record and post-ed the seventh-best single-game gross punt average in NFL history in Week 10 of 2013 at Arizona at 58.9 on seven punts. It was the highest single-game average ever for someone who punted seven or more times in a game.

BULLOCK’S BOUNCE BACK

Texans K Randy Bullock has bounced back from a rough start in 2013, his first year playing, to become one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers. Bullock has made 35 of 40 field goal attempts (87.5 percent) in his last 20 games. A fifth-round pick in 2012 out of Texas A&M, the former

Groza Award winner spent his first NFL season on injured reserve with a groin injury. He kicked a game-winning field

goal in his first career game at San Diego on Sept. 9, 2013 but only made 14 of 23 field goal attempts (60.2) through his first nine games. Bullock made all three attempts in the Week 4 win against Buffalo, in-

cluding kicks from 55 and 50 yards. He is 23 of 28 on field goal attempts in 2014 and made a field goal in a

franchise-record 19 consecutive games before going without a field goal against Indianapolis in Week 6.

Houston’s defense was solid with the exception of one breakdown in the fourth quarter and held Buffalo to 96 yards rushing and did not allow a rushing touchdown. The Texans defense also intercepted Bills QB E.J. Manuel twice. RB Arian Foster, who returned to the lineup after being inactive in Week

3, shared carries with rookie RB Alfred Blue against a stout Buffalo. The duo mustered just 15 yards on 17 carries combined. Foster added seven catches for 55 yards. WR Andre Johnson led Houston’s receivers with 6 catches for 71 yards but headed to the locker room in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. The game was scoreless until the second quarter. The Bills struck first

with a 31-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter at the 11:37 mark of the second quarter after Buffalo burned two time-outs on a 13-play, 67-yard drive. Johnson fumbled at the Buffalo 36 on the ensuing possession. The Bills recovered and pushed the lead to 10-0 with Sammy Watkins’ 5-yard touchdown grab at the 5:54 mark. Houston answered two possessions later. Fitzpatrick found Hopkins

with a 35-yard scoring strike to trim the lead to 10-7 with 57 seconds remaining in the first half. Turnovers mounted for both sides to start the third quarter. Fitzpatrick’s

first pass of the second half was deflected and intercepted by Nigel Bradham at the Houston 19. It was a short-lived drive, as Watt picked off Manuel on third down and returned the interception 80 yards for a score. It was Watt’s first defensive touchdown in the regular season and the sixth-longest interception return by a defensive lineman in NFL history. It also gave Houston its first lead of the game, 14-10.Bullock ran the Texans lead to 20-10 with a 41-yard field goal in the third

quarter and a career-long 55-yard conversion with 9:21 remaining in the fourth. Manuel answered immediately on the next play from scrimmage, hitting Mike Williams for an 80-yard score to cut Houston’s lead to 20-17.Veteran SS Danieal Manning set the tone for Houston’s response with

a 41-yard return on the ensuing kickoff. Houston started at its own 36-yard line and grinded out 32 yards on eight plays to set up Bullock’s 50-yard field goal with 4:49 remaining. The drive ate up 4:19 and gave Houston a 23-17 lead. The teams traded punts on the next two possessions to set up an all-

or-nothing last possession for Buffalo. Leodis McKelvin returned Shane Lechler’s 44-yard punt 11 yards to set the Bills up at their own 29-yard line. A short run and two completions by Manuel took the Bills to the Houston 41. Texans CB Darryl Morris ended the drama at the 1:14 mark, picking off Manuel at the Houston 14-yard line to seal the win.

rebounded to score all 17 of their points in the second half only to fall in the extra period. The Texans leaned heavily on RB Arian Foster who rushed for a sea-

son-high 157 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. Cowboys RB De-Marco Murray, the NFL’s leading rusher, ran for 136 yards on 31 carries, but failed to find the end zone for the first time this season.QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 16-of-25 passes for 154 yards and one

ond quarter when ILB Jeff Tarpinian forced a Dwayne Harris fumble on a punt return. RB Alfred Blue recovered but the Texans were unable to convert it into points.

marched down the field on a 6-play, 71-yard drive capped off by a 15-yard touchdown run by Foster to take a 7-3 lead. Foster accounted for 59 yards on the drive on five carries.The lead would be short-lived as QB Tony Romo escaped a near sack

29-yard field goal by K Randy Bullock with 2:31 remaining in the fourt quarter, extending his franchise record of consecutive games with a field goal made to 19.

on a 3rd-and-two pass from Fitzpatrick to Foster at the Dallas 48.

Two plays later, Bailey split the uprights on 49-yard game-winning field goal.Despite the Texans forcing three turnovers, the Texans lost for the first

When Indianapolis raced to a big lead over the Houston Texans in the first quarter, Colts coach Chuck Pagano was worried they’d let up.They did, but that early lead was so big that they were still able to hold on for

a 33-28 victory Thursday night.The Colts led 24-0 after one quarter, but allowed Houston to cut it to 33-28

early in the fourth quarter on DE J.J. Watt’s fumble return for a touchdown.The Texans had two opportunities to take the lead late, but the Colts recov-

ered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last five minutes.Colts QB Andrew Luck finished with 370 yards passing and three touch-

downs for his fourth straight 300-yard passing game and T.Y. Hilton had a career-high 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.The Texans were driving with less than five minutes remaining when Johnson

— called for pass interference two plays earlier — caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.Watt knocked down Luck’s pass on third down on Indy’s next drive to give

Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball and D’Qwell Jackson recovered.Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and Arian Foster had 109

yards rushing with two scores for Houston.Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned

it 45 yards for a touchdown. It was Watt’s third touchdown this season. He also has scored on an interception return and a reception.Foster had a 34-yard run before Johnson grabbed a 26-yard reception to get

Houston down to the 2 in the third quarter. Foster ran wide before cutting back inside and into the end zone untouched on the next play to get the Texans to 27-21.The Texans were within six points in the third quarter when Luck, who was

under heavy pressure, threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Hilton. The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.After a first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans’ offense

finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a field goal on fourth-and-5, but the Colts got a penalty to give Houston a new set of downs.They took advantage of the opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the

corner of the end zone and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass by Luck that was

intercepted by Justin Tuggle.The Texans got to 24-14 when Foster scored on a 12-yard run.The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indy’s of-

fense stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that includ-

ed a 49-yard pass to Hilton.The play was originally ruled a touchdown after Hilton recovered from a fall

seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached the end zone. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, with Hilton ruled down by contact at the 5.The Colts pushed the lead to 17-0 when Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a

5-yard pass from Luck with about seven minutes left in the first quarter.The Texans had to punt again after Fitzpatrick was sacked by Werner for an

8-yard loss on third down after Bradshaw’s score.Luck capped a long drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Coby Fleener at

the end of the first quarter to extend the lead to 24-0.

The deluge started with a desperation third-down heave, a trickle that turned into a downpour and led to another abrupt turn as Pittsburgh managed a 30-23 victory over the mistake-prone Houston Texans on Monday night.Ben Roethlisberger passed for two touchdowns and wide receiver Antonio

Brown added another on a gadget play during a decisive 73-second stretch late in the first half that moved the Steelers from down 10 to an 11-point lead.Roethlisberger finished with 265 yards passing. Le’Veon Bell racked up 145

yards of total offense, including a 43-yard catch-and-run with less than two min-utes to go in the first half that became the spark the Steelers desperately needed.Arian Foster ran for 102 yards for Houston (3-4) but just 29 over the final three

quarters. Ryan Fitzpatrick was 21-of-32 for 262 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Texans were undone by three turnovers, including consecutive offensive snaps that handed the momentum over to the Steelers.Texans defensive end J.J. Watt recovered a fumble and picked up his third

sack of the season but was neutralized for most of the second half.Pittsburgh was listless for the first 25 minutes, letting Foster and Fitzpatrick do

whatever they wanted as the Texans raced to a 13-0 lead that seemed larger.A 44-yard Shaun Suisham field goal with 3:08 left in the half gave the Steelers

a minor boost.A strike from Roethlisberger to Bell provided a much larger one shortly after the

2-minute warning. Roethlisberger hit the versatile back for a 43-yard gain -- Pitts-burgh’s longest pass play of the season -- to move the ball to the Houston 35.Roethlisberger then found Martavis Bryant, who struggled staying healthy in the

preseason and spent the first six weeks on the inactive list, with a beautiful rainbow that the rookie caught in the back of the end zone to make it 13-10 with 1:27 left.The Steelers were just getting started.Foster fumbled deep in Houston territory two plays after Bryant’s score, and the

Steelers recovered. Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who has faced heavy criticism for his play calling, went deep into his book to help the Steelers take the lead.On first-and-goal, Roethlisberger flipped the ball to Brown, who was coming in

motion. The Pro Bowl wide receiver then spun back around to his left and fired a strike to Lance Moore in the end zone.Houston’s issues escalated on the next snap when Fitzpatrick’s throw over the

middle was deflected into the arms of Pittsburgh defensive end Brett Keisel. The 36-year-old took the second pick of his career to the Houston 8.Roethlisberger found Brown for a 6-yard gain and then hit Bell -- who was

uncovered after going in motion -- for a touchdown.The turnaround left Heinz Field euphoric and the Texans and Watt stunned.The Steelers methodically added on in the second half, extending the lead to 14

points on a pair of Suisham field goals before a late scoring pass from Fitzpatrick to Foster provided the final margin.The end played in stark contrast to the beginning, when the Texans dominated.Fitzpatrick found rookie running back Alfred Blue for an 11-yard touchdown

pass to end a 10-play, 94-yard drive on the Texans’ opening possession before Watt went to work.The MVP candidate recovered a Roethlisberger fumble, leading to a 39-yard

field goal by Randy Bullock that gave Houston a 10-0 lead. Watt later dropped Roethlisberger for his third sack of the year.It was the third time this season that Watt had a fumble recovery and a sack in

the same game. No other player in the NFL has more than one.Still, it couldn’t stop the Texans from extending a slide that has erased the

positive vibes from their promising 3-1 start.

ger.The Titans forced the Texans to settle for two field goals by Randy Bull-

ock on drives inside the Tennessee 12, and Houston had first-and-goal at the Titans 2 when Fitzpatrick was sacked for the fourth time.Foster broke loose on a 34-yard TD where he cut back to his right

and outraced the Titans to the pylon with 6:00 left in the first half to put Houston ahead to stay.

chez came on to threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Phil-adelphia to the victory.Sanchez, who also threw two interceptions, missed all of last season

terception for Houston.Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and Le-

Once he finished ransacking Cleveland’s offense, J.J. Watt met Browns quar-terback Brian Hoyer near midfield and gave him a hug. They became close Sunday. Too close for Hoyer. Watt nearly beat Cleveland himself, catching a 2-yard touchdown pass from

Ryan Mallett, dominating on defense and leading the Houston Texans to a 23-7 win over the Browns on Sunday. Houston’s indomitable No. 99 was everywhere. Along with scoring his fourth

TD this season, he recorded a strip sack, made five tackles - three for a loss - recovered a fumble and hurried Hoyer into several bad throws. Watt was unstop-pable, providing more proof he’s the NFL’s best defensive player.Mallett threw a pair of TD passes and finished with 211 yards in his first career

start. The four-year veteran was promoted during the bye week after the Texans (5-5) benched Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Mallett delivered a needed spark. So did rookie running back Alfred Blue. He filled in for injured star Arian Foster

(groin) and gained 156 yards on a franchise-record 36 carries.The Browns (6-4) won’t spend a second straight week atop the AFC North.

They lost for just the second time in seven games, and Watt is the main reason why. The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder scored Houston’s first TD, grabbing Mallett’s first

career scoring pass for his fourth TD in 2014. He’s the first defensive lineman to score four times in a season since 1948. He wasn’t perfect, getting called for two roughing-the-punter penalties, but Watt more than made up for his mistakes by wreaking havoc along Cleveland’s offensive front.Randy Bullock kicked field goals of 46, 37 and 50 yards for the Texans. Mallett finished 20 of 30 and outdueled Hoyer in a battle of former Brady

backups. Hoyer spent the afternoon ducking and dodging Houston’s relentless defensive

front led by Watt. Linebacker Brian Cushing delivered a monstrous hit in the fourth quarter on Hoyer, who struggled to get up, dropped to his knees and barely composed himself as backup Johnny Manziel scrambled for his helmet. Browns running back Ben Tate had just two carries for minus-9 yards against

his former team. As expected, Watt made his presence felt. The surprising part was that it was

on both sides of the ball. In the first quarter, Mallett hooked up with DeAndre Hopkins on a 41-yard com-

pletion - the longest play on an 89-yard drive - to move the ball to the Cleveland 2. On first-and-goal, Watt lined up as Houston’s left tight end before shifting to

wide receiver. Mallett then lofted the ball to the agile Watt, who caught it over rookie linebacker Chris Kirksey and was able to get his knee down inbounds for the score.Mallett’s 20-yard TD pass to tight end Garrett Graham gave the Texans a 14-7

lead and capped a first half in which Watt had an impact on offense, defense and special teams. After he caught his second TD pass this season, Watt sacked and knocked the

ball away from Hoyer and later recovered a fumble caused by Cushing that led to Houston’s go-ahead score. With the Browns driving late in the second quarter, Cushing, who missed the

previous two games with a knee injury, poked the ball away from Cleveland rook-ie running back Isaiah Crowell. Watt, who had been pacing the sideline after his second roughing penalty, pounced on the fumble.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton lost his first three games against the Houston Texans, including twice here in the playoffs, but threw for 233 yards and a touchdown to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a 22-13 win. The victory is Cincinnati’s second straight to keep the team in first place in the

rugged AFC North.It was Dalton’s second strong game and he again relied on A.J. Green. Green

finished with a career-high 12 receptions for 121 yards against a secondary play-ing without CB Kareem Jackson (knee).The Bengals (7-3-1) led throughout, but Houston (5-6) cut the lead to 3 late in

the third quarter before Cincinnati tacked on two field goals in the fourth quarter to secure the win.Rookie RB Jeremy Hill scored on a 2-yard touchdown run early in the third

quarter after an interception by QB Ryan Mallett for Cincinnati’s only touchdown of the second half.Mallett struggled in his second career start, finishing with 189 yards passing and

often overthrowing open receivers. He wasn’t sure why he was so off-target on Sunday after a solid outing in a win over Cleveland last week. Houston’s only touchdown came on a 60-yard interception return by CB

Johnathan Joseph in the third quarter. Rookie RB Alfred Blue ran for 46 yards filling in for Arian Foster (groin) for the

second straight game.Giovani Bernard had 45 yards rushing after missing the past three games with

an injured shoulder and hip. But Hill still got plenty of carries, running 18 times for 87 yards.Dalton threw two incompletions in a row to bring out Mike Nugent for a 31-yard

field goal to push the lead to 19-13 in the fourth. Nugent added a 49-yard field goal with less than two minutes remaining.The Texans had a first down at the 8-yard line, but their offense stalled after that

and they settled for a 25-yard field goal by Randy Bullock to get within 16-13 late in the third. Joseph grabbed an interception and dashed 60 yards — high-stepping the last

5 — for a touchdown to cut the lead to 16-10 midway through the third quarter.Rey Maualuga intercepted Mallett on the first play of the second half to give the

Bengals the ball at the Houston 22. Hill had five carries on the next drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown run to make it 16-3 early in the third.Mohamed Sanu grabbed a short pass from Dalton and dragged A.J. Bouye

into the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown that gave the Bengals a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Dalton’s pass to Green on fourth down from the 1 was incomplete in the second

quarter. It didn’t matter much though, as Geno Atkins tackled Blue in the end zone on the next play for a safety to make it 9-0.The Texans had trouble getting things going on offense and they had to punt on

their first two possessions before the safety on the third one.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick made the most of his second chance and DE J.J. Watt continued to make a case for MVP.Fitzpatrick threw for a franchise-record six touchdowns and WR DeAndre

Hopkins had a career-best 238 yards receiving and two scores as the Hous-ton Texans set a team-record for points, rolling to a 45-21 win over the Ten-nessee Titans on Sunday.Watt had his third touchdown reception, two sacks, forced and recovered a

fumble for Houston (6-6) and enhanced his shot to become the first defensive MVP since Lawrence Taylor in 1986.Fitzpatrick started after being benched for two games for QB Ryan Mallett,

who suffered a season-ending chest injury last week.Tennessee’s zach Mettenberger injured his right shoulder playing behind

a makeshift offensive line missing three starters. He said he has a sprain and thinks he’ll be able to play next week, but that he’ll have an MRI on Monday.Jake Locker took over in the third quarter and threw for 91 yards with a

touchdown and two interceptions for the Titans (2-10), who have lost six straight. Fitzpatrick passed for 358 yards and came up one short of tying the NFL

record by throwing touchdown passes of 8, 7, 58, 34, 4 yards to his receivers before ending his day with a 1-yard TD toss to Watt. It came on the drive after Watt’s forced fumble and elicited chants of “MVP” from the crowd. Watt has 11 ½ sacks and five touchdowns to make him the first player to

have at least 10 sacks and three or more touchdowns in a season since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic.The Titans were missing rookie LT Taylor Lewan (ankle), C Brian Schwen-

ke (knee), who was placed on the injured reserve Tuesday, and RT Michael Oher (toe), who was active but did not play.Mettenberger found WR Kendall Wright on a 36-yard pass early in the third

quarter to cut the lead to 24-7. Mettenberger was injured on the next series when driven to the ground by Watt. He had 184 yards passing with a touch-down and an interception. Locker was intercepted by CB Jumal Rolle on his first play.That didn’t matter much as Jason McCourty caused a fumble, recovered it

and raced 62 yards for a touchdown to get Tennessee within 24-14.Hopkins caught a 58-yard touchdown pass to extend Houston’s lead to 24-0

at halftime. The second score by Hopkins made it 31-14 later in the third quar-ter. Andre Johnson had a nifty catch in the end zone to extend Houston’s lead to 38-14.An interception by CB Johnathan Joseph on Tennessee’s first offensive

play set up a 7-yard catch by Arian Foster, who returned after missing two games with a groin injury, and pushed Houston’s lead to 14-0.
