TEXANS OPEN STRETCH RUN ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE BROWNS
2014 HOUSTON TEXANS REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE
The Houston Texans (4-5) return from their open
week to face the AFC North-leading Cleveland
Browns (6-3) on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium at
noon CT.
Houston will have a different look on Sunday with QB
Ryan Mallett making his first career NFL start. Mallett’s
counterpart will be former New England teammate Brian Hoyer, who has led the Browns to their best start
in 20 years and wins in each of their last three outings.
The Texans are coming off a 31-21 loss to Philadelphia in Week 9 that
saw starting cornerbacks Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson,
and RB Arian Foster leave the game with injuries. DE J.J. Watt and
OLB Whitney Mercilus combined for 3.5 sacks, while CB Jumal Rolle
stepped in to record the first two interceptions of his career to lead the
defense. Foster recorded 119 yards from scrimmage before leaving the
game and WR DeAndre Hopkins had 115 yards receiving and a touchdown on six receptions.
Watt leads a ball-hawking defense that has recorded a league-high 21
takeaways. The former defensive player of the year has scored three
total touchdowns, is tied for seventh in the NFL with 8.5 sacks and leads
the league with 29 quarterback hits and shares the league lead with
three fumble recoveries.
Despite missing all or part of three games with injury, Foster is having
one of the best seasons of his career, ranking second in the NFL with
822 yards rushing and 131.4 scrimmage yards per game to go along
with 10 total touchdowns.
Cleveland is coming off a 24-3 win against AFC North rival Cincinnati
last Thursday that gave the Browns the division lead. The Browns got
rushing touchdowns from former Texan Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell and
Terrance West and four takeaways by their defense. The Browns are
fourth in the NFL with a plus-9 turnover differential.
The Texans have won the last two meetings in the all-time series, including a 30-12 win in the last matchup on Nov. 6, 2011 in Houston.
Foster and Tate both ran for more than 100 yards for the Texans, who
piled up a franchise-record 261 yards on the ground. Houston hasn’t visited Cleveland since a 16-6 win on Nov. 23, 2008. WR Andre Johnson
caught 10 passes for 116 yards in that game to lead the Texans.

THE TEXANS WIRE
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
MALLETT TO MAKE HIS STARTING DEBUT
TEXANS D HITTING THE QB
Texans QB Ryan Mallett will make his first NFL start
on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. He has appeared in five games in his career and completed one
of four pass attempts for 17 yards. All four of his pass
attempts came with the New England Patriots in the
2012 season.
The fourth-year veteran will be the 10th quarterback
Mallett
ever to start for the Texans. Below is a look at how Texans quarterbacks have fared in their first starts for the team.
Since 2011, Houston has the lowest opponent completion percentage
in the NFL at 56.5 percent. That has no doubt been aided by the fact that
the Texans defense has posted an NFL-best 394 quarterback hits
in that time. 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.

SCORING
GAME SUMMARY
SCORE BY PERIODS
Cleveland Browns
Houston Texans
The Texans defeated the Cleveland Browns 30-12 in front of a sellout
crowd of 71,511 at Reliant Stadium. Houston outgained its opponent
380-172 and won the time of possession battle by more than 10 minutes.
The Texans improved to 4-3 all-time against the Browns and now own a
two-game win streak against the AFC North squad.
The victory was the Texans’ third in a row and moves the team’s record
to 6-3, making it the first time in franchise history that Houston was three
games above .500.
The Texans led 14-0 midway through the first quarter following rushing
touchdowns by RB Ben Tate and QB Matt Schaub; and never looked
back as the defense held Cleveland out of the endzone until just under
five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Tate and Arian Foster combined to carry the ball 31 times for 239 yards and two touchdowns en
route to a club record 261 yards on the ground. Foster paved the way
with 124 yards on 19 carries. Tate added 115 yards on 12 carries.
Houston had two players with more than 100 rushing yards in the
same game for the second time in the last three weeks after doing so at
Tennessee on 10/23. Prior to this year, the Texans had never had two
100-yard rushers in the same game. The Texans became the sixth team
since 1985 to have a pair of rushers top 100 yards in the same game
twice in a season
With his running backs doing most of the damage, Schaub was an efficient 14 of 23 for 119 and one interception. Foster hauled in a game
high five catches for 26 yards. Tight end Owen Daniels led all Texans
receivers with 32 yards on three catches.
It was the third consecutive week that Houston held the opposing offense to less than 175 net yards. The Texans also forced a pair of turnovers and collected four sacks, including a pair from rookie OLB Brooks
Reed.
ILB Brian Cushing again led the Texans with seven combined tackles, one sack and a quarterback hurry. At the end of the first half, blood
streamed down his nose after S Quintin Demps’ interception return.
That was the only thing that could get Cushing, a newly minted team
captain, off the field.
Carrying a 24-3 halftime lead, the Texans used their run game to grind
out the clock in the second half. Schaub attempted only eight passes in
the final two quarters as he handed off 25 times. K Neil Rackers booted
a pair of field goals in the final 30 minutes, including a 50-yarder in the
fourth quarter that gave the Texans a 30-6 lead.
Schaub didn’t have the prettiest game statistically, but he completed 61
percent of his throws and helped the offense convert 64 percent of its
third down tries. More importantly, he left the game unscathed without
being sacked and he took only three hits.

GAME SUMMARY
SCORE BY PERIODS
Philadelphia Eagles
Houston Texans
Game write-up courtesy of the Associated Press
The Houston Texans were done in by their inconsistent offense on Sunday.
The Texans (4-5) scored a defensive touchdown and two other scores
came after turnovers, but they were unable to move the ball for most of
a day in a 31-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (6-2).
Nick Foles hurt his left shoulder late in the first quarter, and Mark Sanchez came on to threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Philadelphia to the victory.
Sanchez, who also threw two interceptions, missed all of last season
after tearing the labrum in his right shoulder in the preseason. He last
played on Dec. 30, 2012 with the New York Jets.
The Eagles (6-2) led by 3 when Jeremy Maclin grabbed a low throw
from Sanchez for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 31-21 with about four
minutes remaining.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston.
Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and LeSean McCoy had 117 yards rushing.
The Eagles were up by 10 and driving late in the third quarter when
Jumal Rolle grabbed his second interception of the game.
DeMeco Ryans intercepted Fitzpatrick at the Philadelphia 10, but was
injured on the play and fumbled the ball as he fell to the ground. DeAndre
Hopkins recovered for Houston and scored on a 7-yard reception two
plays later to cut the lead to 24-21.
Top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney (illness) and linebacker Brian
Cushing (knee) were inactive for the Texans and they lost starting
cornerbacks Johnathan Joseph (concussion) and Kareem Jackson
(knee) to injuries in the first quarter.
Houston’s defense got to the quarterback early, with four sacks in the
first half. The Eagles had allowed just two in the previous six games.
Whitney Mercilus sacked Foles twice in three plays, driving him hard
into the turf on the second one to send the quarterback to the locker
room.
Sanchez didn’t waste any time in his Philadelphia debut, finding Maclin
deep on his first play for a 52-yard gain. Five plays later, he threw a perfect pass to Jordan Matthews for an 11-yard touchdown to make it 14-7.
Houston tied it up when Arian Foster grabbed a 56-yard TD pass
about four minutes before halftime. Foster dashed away from a diving
Connor Barwin after the reception on his way to the end zone. That
score was set up when receiver Josh Huff tipped a pass by Sanchez
that was intercepted by Rolle.
Foster left late in the game and coach Bill O’Brien said he injured his
groin and that he hoped he’d be OK after an extra week of rest with the
bye next week.
A 45-yard field goal by Cody Parkey gave the Eagles a 17-14 lead at
halftime.
Houston missed a 39-yard field goal in the third quarter. The Eagles
used four straight running plays capped by an 8-yard run by Chris Polk
after that to extend their lead to 24-14 with about three minutes left in
the third.
The Texans converted just five of 13 third-down attempts.

BILL O’BRIEN TRANSCRIPT
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
BILL O’BRIEN PRESS CONFERENCE
Monday, November 10, 2014
NRG Stadium
(on what stands out about the Browns secondary) “A lot of good
players. Joe Haden is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, plays
press very well, plays off coverage very well. Donte Whitner has been
in this league for a long time. I’m familiar with him from his days in Buffalo—tough, tough guy, great tackler, competitive in coverage, great ball
skills. They all have good ball skills back there. It’s a very challenging
secondary to go against. They’ve added Jim Leonhard into the mix there
who is a guy that knows; he’s like a coach on the field. A guy that can
really get those guys lined up. We just have a tremendous amount of respect for Cleveland, all of their players and coaches and the secondary,
definitely.”
(on an injury update and an update on CB Johnathan Joseph who
was in the NFL concussion protocol) “J-Joe (Joseph) was out there
today and looked good. It looks like he’ll be ready to go. I would say most
of the other guys that we talked about the other day pretty much day to
day, with the exception of Kareem Jackson. I would say that Kareem
Jackson probably would not play against Cleveland, but we’ll see how
that goes during the week.”
(on what the coaching staff can improve on after self-review during
the bye week) “There are a lot of things. That’s a great question. I think
offensively, let’s start there; we’ve really looked at our protections, schematically and technically. From a technique standpoint, we’ve worked on
that quite a bit last Wednesday, today with our offensive line, our tight
ends, our backs and our quarterbacks. Everybody is involved there. I’d
say defensively we’ve really looked at our run fits. How are we fitting
the run? What do we need to do to get it better? We’ve looked at that
a lot. Defensively, we’ve looked at our coverages. What are the coverages we’re able to execute the best? What are the ones that we need
to work on, and we’ve been working on those last week, today. Special
teams wise, we’ve really got to do a great job in this game of protecting.
They’ve blocked two punts and they blocked a field goal, so we’ve got
do a great job of protecting on punt and protecting on field goals. Those
are things we really looked at.”
(on if it helps QB Ryan Mallett because he’s watched Mike Pettine
coached defenses during his time in New England) “I think experience watching it—you probably have a point there. I would say, yeah.
I would say that would help him, but I think at the end of the day the
biggest thing is going against it, which he doesn’t have experience on
the field against it. He’s going to have to do a great job this week of preparing on the practice field and the film room, and then when the game
starts, how does it go then? That’s the big thing for any quarterback who
hasn’t seen it in live action. He’s going to see it live, and hopefully we’ve
prepared him enough and he’s able to go out there and do a good job
with it.”
(on what the offense can do to prevent pressure now that QB Ryan
Mallett is the starting quarterback) “I think part of that is, you know,
people look at that, the difference skill set of the quarterbacks with one
guy running a little bit better than the other guy. To me it starts with
making sure that you know the read of the play, that you know you understand where the ball is supposed to go almost as soon as the ball is
snapped and many cases hopefully before the ball is snapped. That is
one of the keys. To me, the other key is that you’re leading the protection, that you’re on the same page with the offensive line, that you’re
getting everybody to the right guy, that you want to be picked up, the five
guys, the six guys that you want protected. It’s more about that than it is
about who is mobile, who’s not mobile. It’s more about that.”
(on if the coaching staff spent last week reviewing themselves and
are now turning to Cleveland this week) “That is probably exactly
what it was. We spent a lot of time on ourselves. We looked at ourselves
last week quite a bit. With our computer systems, with everybody, everybody has similar computer systems, you’re able to kind of break the
film down, break your tendencies down in a lot of different ways. The
problem with that is you don’t want to go overboard with that because at
the end of the day what is the identity of your team? The identity of our
team is that we’re a team that plays very hard for 60 minutes. We’ve got
to be able to run the ball on offense. We’ve got to be able to stop the run
on defense. We’ve got to be able to create some explosive plays and
stop explosive plays on defense and so we looked at all of that and we
looked at our tendencies in those different areas -third down, red areaand we try to work on those things. Starting Wednesday- we did a little
bit of Cleveland today- but starting Wednesday we’ll be full throttle into
Cleveland. Cleveland is a really good football team. They’re very well
coached. Quarterback Brian Hoyer is playing well. They run the ball.
They’ve done a good job of getting the ball down field. Kyle Shanahan
is doing a great job there. Defensively, it’s Mike Pettine, it’s Jim O’Neil,
these guys have done a great job for a long time. It’s a big challenge for
us and we’ll really be full throttle against those schemes on Wednesday.”
(on QB Ryan Mallett getting the ball out quickly enough when
blitzed) “I’ll tell you what, again, we’ll have to see how he is in the game,
but in practice since the day he arrived here there has been a lot of improvement with that from his days when I was with him in New England,
obviously he was only a rookie. To where he is now in practice, looks like
the ball comes out with good timing and comes out and quick enough.”
(on his thoughts about QB Ryan Mallett starting his first NFL game)
“I’m excited. I’m excited for him. I think this is his opportunity to go out
there and lead this team, and he’s excited. He was here all weekend,
spent a lot of time on his own game and getting ready for Cleveland.
He’s very, very excited and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can
do.”

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 10win improvement under Smith’s leadership. Smith’s tenure in Houston began 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 exception 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
397 of the 418 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 joining 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 college 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.

TEXANS NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
TURNOVERS ARE KEY
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
The Houston Texans lead the NFL with 21 takeaways and have a plus-7
turnover differential.
Historically, when the Texans win the turnover battle, they win the game
75.3 percent of the time. The Texans are 15-1 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 220-10 when holding a +3 or better turnover
advantage.
The Houston Texans lead the AFC with 10 forced fumbles on defense
(11, if including special teams) through. Eight of the 10 fumbles have
been forced by members of Houston’s starting secondary: CB Johnathan Joseph (2), SS D.J. Swearinger (3) and FS Kendrick Lewis (3).
The Texans have recovered 10 fumbles on defense, including one on a
turnover by WR DeAndre Hopkins.
Where theTexans have forced and recovered their fumbles has been
extremely timely. Five recoveries have been in Houston territory, with
four coming at or inside its own 10-yard line.

TEXANS NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
JOHNSON AND HOPKINS ON PACE FOR 1,000 EACH
NEW FACES
The Houston Texans have never had a pair of receivers with 1,000
yards each in a season. WR Andre Johnson and WR DeAndre Hopkins are both on pace to reach the mark in 2014. Hopkins leads the team
with 684 yards receiving (on pace for 1,138 yards), followed by Johnson
with 563 yards (on pace for 1,001 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.
More than a third of the players on Houston’s active roster, 22 in all, are
new to the Texans in 2014. Eight of those players are rookies, 12 were
acquired as free agents and two were acquired in a trade.

TEXANS NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
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 nutritionist 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.”
On Thursday, Aug. 7, Texans Owner Bob McNair revealed 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
McNair
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 thereafter, 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...
#DQSTRONG: TEXANS & DQ RAISE $100K FOR LYMPHOMA
RESEARCH IN THE NAME OF DAVID QUESSENBERRY
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 lineman 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
Quessenberry
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 Quessenberry’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,” Quessenberry 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 #TexansforDQ

“...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 enjoyment, so that’s pretty much the story.”

going through treatment) “Well, I guess in terms of the treatment,

The NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to expand NFL Practice Squads for the 2014 and 2015 seasons on Aug. 19. Absent an extension 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 unless 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.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Some first-year Texans endeared themselves to Texans fans with some
big plays in the season-opening win against Washington:
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:
FS Kendrick Lewis
The unrestricted free-agent acquisition started and recorded five tackles and recovered a fumble at the Texans’ 9-yard line in the third quarter.
Head Coach Bill O’Brien
Joined Dom Capers (2002) in becoming the second coach to win his
head coaching debut with the team.
FB Jay Prosch and G Xavier Su’a-Filo
Prosch, the bruising rookie fullback, earned his first career start. Su’a-Filo, Houston’s second-round pick out of UCLA, rotated into the lineup to
help bolster the running game. Their efforts helped the Texans produce
their NFL-leading 30th 100-yard rushing performance since 2010.

lead with eight 100-yard games in 2010 and had seven in both 2011 and
2012. He posted the first 100-yard game of his career as a rookie, in the
2009 season finale against New England. The Texans are 20-10 overall
when Foster rushes for more than 100 yards. He has six 100-yard rushing games in 2014.

DeANDRE HOPKINS NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
HOPKINS EMERGING
Hopkins
HOPKINS AND HUNGER RELIEF WITH THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK
WR DeAndre Hopkins is on his way to bettering the
solid numbers he posted as a rookie in 2013, leading the
Texans with 684 yards receiving and four touchdowns
receiving on 42 receptions. The 27th overall pick in the
2013 draft has three 100-yard games this season through
nine games and is fast approaching his rookie totals of 52
receptions for 802 yards. Hopkins ranked second among
rookies in yards receiving and was fourth among rookies
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 hunger 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 hunger 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 volunteers and guests can access nutritious refreshments.
Houston Texans President 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,
congregations, 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 100 percent of 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.

Hopkins ranks second among second-year players with 94 receptions

#Texans WR @johnson80 has 20 games with at least 10
receptions and 100 yards, the most in @NFL history.
JOHNSON DEFYING AGING TREND
The odds of having a 1,000-yard receiving season in the NFL significantly 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 players have had 1,000-yard seasons at age 27 (89) than any other age.
From age 27 to 28, there is a 19.1 percent drop (89 to 72). From 29 to
30, there is a 30 percent drop in the number of 1,000-yard receivers,
followed by a 22 percent drop from 30 to 31 and another 20 percent
drop from 31 to 32.
Johnson turned 33 in July and has 563 yards through nine games this
season.
ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR JOHNSON
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.

ANDRE JOHNSON NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
GETTING BETTER WITH AGE
CLIMBING THE ALL-TIME CHARTS
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 career. 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 .
WR Andre Johnson is 11th all-time in receptions with 975 for 13,224
yards and 62 touchdowns in his career. He is the second-fastest to reach
950 career receptions, doing so in his 159th career game. His 950th
career catch came on an 11-yard pass from QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in the
first quarter at Dallas on Oct. 5, 2014.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES
Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
WHAT BROWN CAN DO FOR HOUSTON
MARTIN SETS FRANCHISE MARKS
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-fewest of any full-time starter in the conference. In addition,
Brown
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 recognition 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 1,000yard 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 99 career
games.
WR Keshawn Martin’s franchise-record 87-yard punt return for a
touchdown against Oakland in Week 11 in 2013 was the key ingredient
in a record-setting day. Martin racked up 125 punt return yards, a single-game franchise record.

MYERS A MAINSTAY ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE
C Chris Myers has been a mainstay on the Texans offensive line since joining the team via trade from Denver
in 2008. Myers earned his first Pro Bowl selection following the 2011 season and helped the Texans set a team
record and rank second in the NFL with 153.0 rushing
yards per game. He was selected again for the NFL’s
all-star game in 2012 after helping direct the NFL’s sevMyers
enth-ranked offense (372.1 yards per game). The Texans
finished in the League’s top four in total offense in three of his first four
years with the team: third in 2008 (382.1 yards per game); fourth in 2009
(383.1); and third in 2010 (386.6 yards per game).
Myers has proven durable as well. He has played in 146 consecutive
games, the longest current streak among offensive linemen in the NFL
and the fourth-longest streak among non-kickers and punters. He has
started 121 (including 105 for the Texans) consecutive games at center,
which is the second-longest streak among offensive linemen and the
longest streak among centers.
MARTIN YIELDS HIGH RETURNS
Texans third-year WR Keshawn Martin ranked third in
the NFL with 1,292 total return yards and was eighth in
the NFL with a 26.3 kickoff return average in 2013.
The explosive play that Martin displayed at Michigan
State showed up at NRG Stadium in Week 11 vs. Oakland.
Martin took a Marquette King punt and returned it a franchise-record 87 yards for a touchdown, the first of Martin’s
Martin
career and first punt return touchdown for Houston since
Jacoby Jones vs. Indianapolis on opening weekend in 2011.
Martin led the Texans and ranked fifth in the NFL with a franchise-record
12.1 punt return average in 2012.

CUSHING TIES FRANCHISE TACKLE MARK
JOSEPH ONE OF THE BEST SINCE HE STARTED
ILB Brian Cushing has come back twice from season-ending knee injuries and is tied for the team lead the
with 50 tackles this season. Cushing came back in 2013
from an ACL injury that cut his 2012 season short after
only five games, leading the team with 65 tackles to go
along with 1.5 sacks and an interception before another
devastating leg injury in Week 7 at Kansas City.

Cushing’s 17-tackle performance against the New York
Giants in Week 3 tied Jamie Sharper for the franchise single-game record.
CB Johnathan Joseph ranks second among active players with 120
passes defensed since he began his career with Cincinnati in 2006.

PICKETT’S EXPERIENCE
Since 2011, Kareem Jackson and Johnathan Joseph
have served as Houston’s starting cornerbacks. In that
time, the duo has combined for 82 passes defensed and
15 interceptions, two of which have been returned for
touchdowns,
Since Jackson and Joseph have manned the corners,
Texans opponents have the lowest completion percentage in the NFL at 56.5 and the third-lowest net yards
passing per game at 214.6. Jackson ranks third on the
franchise’s passes defensed list with 48 and Joseph is
tied for fifth with 44. Joseph also ranks fourth in franchise
history with nine interceptions while Jackson is tied for
fifth with eight.
The Texans signed NT Ryan Pickett on Sept. 24. The 14th-year veteran brings a wealth of experience and size (6-2, 340) to Houston’s
defensive line. The former first-round pick (29th overall in 2001) of the
St. Louis Rams has played in more games (200) than any defensive
lineman outside of San Francisco 49ers’ Justin Smith (214) and ranks
fourth among all active defensive linemen with 567 tackles. Pickett is fifth
among active defensive linemen with 32 passes defensed, according to

WATT SETS FRANCHISE RECORD, TIED FOR NFL LEAD
DE J.J. Watt’s third fumble recovery of the year in Week 7 at Pittsburgh
set a Texans franchise record. Watt pounced on Ben Roethlisberger’s
fumble at the Pittsburgh 46-yard line in the first quarter. 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 is tied for first in the NFL this season in fumble recoveries and
has the second-most fumble recoveries behind Green Bay OLB Julius
Peppers and New England DE Rob Ninkovich since 2011.
In the last six 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.
THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN OFTEN...
Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt is the fourth player in NFL history and
first in more than 50 years to have a touchdown reception, interception
returned for a touchdown and fumble recovery for a touchdown, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

SACKING AND SWATTING
WATT ON THE OTHER SIDE
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 34 passes defensed. Watt led all defensive linemen in passes defensed in 2012.
DE J.J. Watt’s touchdown reception in Week 2 at Oakland was the was
the sixth by a defensive lineman since 2004 and the first since Denver
Broncos DT Mitch Unrein caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Peyton
Manning against Tampa Bay on Dec. 2, 2012. Watt originally attended
Central Michigan as a tight end and caught eight passes for 77 yards as
a true freshman in 2007 before transferring to Wisconsin.

It should be noted that Denney’s two touchdown receptions came on
fake field goal attempts.
The only other defensive player to have a touchdown reception in the
last 11 seasons aside from the four defensive linemen listed above is
Texans Linebackers Coach Mike Vrabel, who caught nine of his 10 career touchdown passes between 2004-10.
AND THE HITS KEEP COMING
WATT STANDS ALONE WITH 15 & 15 MARK
DE J.J. Watt leads the NFL with 29 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 quarterback 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 twice since 2000.
Watt’s 39.5 sacks and 118 quarterback hits from 2012-14 are tops in
the NFL.
SINGLE-SEASON QB HITS (2000-13)
2014 QB HIT LEADERS
Since passes defensed were officially tracked beginning in 1991, only
11 players have recorded 10 sacks and 10 passes defensed in a single
season. Texans DE J.J. Watt is the only player to record at least 15
sacks and 15 passes defensed in the same season. Watt and Reggie White are the only defensive linemen to record at least 13 sacks
and 13 passes defensed in that time.
Below is a look at the players who have had at least 10 sacks and 10
passes defensed in a single season since 1991.

Game #10 • Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns • Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014
ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS
WATT’S 2012 HONORS
Texans P Shane Lechler has posted some of the best
career and season numbers in NFL history. Lechler is the
NFL’s all-time leader in gross punting average (47.6) and
has posted three of top eight single-season punting averages in NFL history.
DE J.J. Watt was named the Associated Press 2012 Defensive Player of the Year at the second-annual NFL Honors gala on Feb. 2, 2013

League-wide player of the year award. He was the first defensive lineman to be recognized since Miami DE Jason Taylor (2006), the 17th
defensive lineman and eighth defensive end to win the award.
Watt led the NFL with 20.5 sacks, which tied for the sixth-most in a season in NFL history, and his 16 passes defensed were the most in League
history by a defensive lineman. He became the only player in NFL history
with at least 14 sacks and 14 passes defensed in the same season.
Watt led the Texans defense with 107 tackles, 39 tackles for loss, 42
quarterback hits, four forced fumbles. He tied for second on the team

TARPINIAN LEADING TEXANS SPECIAL TEAMS
Houston Texans P Shane Lechler set a franchise record and posted 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.

Lechler also became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 50,000
punting yards against Arizona. He did so on his 1,052nd punt, 99 punts
fewer than it took the next fastest player to do so, Sean Landeta.
Texans LS Jon Weeks’ route to the NFL was quite circuitous. 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
Weeks
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 732 extra-point,
field-goal and punt snaps in 77 regular season and postseason games.

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
27 of 30 field goal attempts (90.0 percent) in his last 16
games.
A fifth-round pick in 2012 out of Texas A&M, the former
Groza
Award winner spent his first NFL season on injured
Bullock
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, including kicks from 55 and 50 yards.
He is 15 of 18 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.

Giants QB Eli Manning completed 21 of 28 passes for 234 yards and
two touchdowns. RB Rashad Jennings had a touchdown and rushed
for 176 yards on 34 attempts.
It was a sloppy first quarter by both teams. Houston’s first drive ended

drive but Prince Amukamura picked off Fitzpatrick three plays later at
the Giants 36-yard line to end the drive. The Giants fumbled on their second offensive series and had a bad snap on a 30-yard field goal attempt
kept them scoreless for the first quarter.
Manning and the Giants offense bounced back in the second quarter
scoring a pair of touchdowns for a 14-0 lead at halftime. Victor Cruz
opened the scoring with a 26-yard touchdown reception at the 3:21 mark
of the second quarter.
Fitzpatrick’s second interception of the game on the ensuing Texans
drive proved costly. Giants S Antrel Rolle picked off the Texans signal
caller at the Houston 27 and returned the ball to the 2-yard line with 1:48
remaining in the first half. Three plays later, Jennings plunged in from
1 yard out to extend the Giants lead to 14-0 with 1:07 remaining in the
first half.
Josh Brown pushed New York’s lead to 17-0 with a 39-yard field goal

frame to cut the lead to 17-10. Randy Bullock opened the scoring with
a 27-yard field goal and Damaris Johnson hauled in a 44-yard touchdown pass from Fitzpatrick to finish a 4-play and 93-yard drive.

on more Texans mistakes that included a blocked punt deep in Houston
territory and Fitzpatrick’s third interception.

yards and CB Johnathan Joseph had his second fumble recovery of
the season.

GAME SUMMARY
SCORE BY PERIODS
Buffalo Bills
Houston Texans
Despite committing costly penalties and a trio of turnovers, the Texans
escaped with a 23-17 win against the Buffalo Bills at NRG Stadium.
Houston improved to 3-1 on the season for the third time in franchise
history with the win.
After trailing 10-0 in the second quarter, Houston managed to pull out a
victory with several big plays: WR DeAndre Hopkins’ 35-yard touchdown
catch, DE J.J. Watt’s 80-yard interception return for a touchdown, an
interception by CB Darryl Morris with 1:14 to play, and three field goals by
K Randy Bullock, two of which were for more than 50 yards.
The Texans relied heavily on QB Ryan Fitzpatrick against his former
team, who was 25-of-37 for 268 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. 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 36yard 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 allor-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.

Dallas Cowboys
The highly-anticipated Texas showdown between Houston and Dallas
ended in an overtime battle with the Texans falling 20-17 to the Cowboys
at AT&T Stadium in front of a split crowd of 91,159.
Despite Houston’s offense struggling to move the ball first half, they
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 season-high 157 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. Cowboys RB DeMarco 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
interception. On the Texans second possession of the day, Fitzpatrick’s
pass, intended for Foster, was picked off by Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick. The Cowboys marched deep into Texans territory, but FS Kendrick Lewis forced a fumble on Murray. ILB Justin Tuggle recovered and
Houston regained possession.
Special teams added Houston’s second turnover of the day in the second 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. Houston’s defense held the high-powered Cowboys
offense in check for most of the first half, only allowing Dan Bailey 33yard field goal with 11 seconds remaining in the first half.
After forcing a Cowboys punt to start the second half, the Texans
marched down the field on a 6-play, 71-yard drive capped off by a 15yard 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
by DE J.J. Watt and fired a 43-yard touchdown pass to WR Terrence
Williams to take a 10-7 lead for the Cowboys. Romo added a 2-yard
touchdown pass to WR Dez Bryant early in the fourth quarter to put the
Cowboys ahead by 10.
Houston countered Dallas’ score with a 13-play drive that ended with a
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. The Texans defense held strong and forced a threeand-out, getting the ball back at the Cowboys 45 yard line with 1:59 to
go. After consecutive 20 and 19-yard passes to Andre Johnson and
DeAndre Hopkins, Foster ran twice, tying the game with a 1-yard run
with 41 seconds remaining in regulation. Dallas had a chance to put the
game away, but K Dan Bailey missed a 53-yard field goal attempt as time
expired, ending his streak of 30 consecutive field goals made.
The Texans won the coin toss in overtime, but were unable to convert
on a 3rd-and-two pass from Fitzpatrick to Foster at the Dallas 48. After a
Shane Lechler punt, Romo completed a 37-yard pass down the sideline
to Bryant on third down to put the Cowboys in field goal position. 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
time this season in game where they won the turnover battle. Houston
fell to 3-2 on the season, tied with Indianapolis for first place in the AFC
South.

GAME SUMMARY
SCORE BY PERIODS
Indianapolis Colts
Houston Texans
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 recovered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last five minutes.
Colts QB Andrew Luck finished with 370 yards passing and three touchdowns 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 offense 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 included 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.

GAME SUMMARY

Houston Texans
Pittsburgh Steelers
Game write-up courtesy of the Associated Press
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 minutes 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 -- Pittsburgh’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.

GAME SUMMARY
SCORE BY PERIODS
Houston Texans
Tennessee Titans
Game write-up courtesy of the Associated Press
The Houston Texans beat the Tennessee Titans 30-16 at LP Field for
a win in the franchise’s 200th game. The Texans (4-4) snapped a threegame skid and beat the team they replaced in Houston for the fourth time
in five games. RB Arian Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns
and also caught a pass for a score, topping 100 yards rushing in his
fourth straight game for the first time in his career. DE J.J. Watt had two
sacks, a forced fumble and one pass defensed.
The performance marked Foster’s 31st career 100-yard rushing game,
tying Priest Holmes for the most in NFL history by an undrafted player.
Texans OLB Jadeveon Clowney played for the first time since hurting
his knee in the season opener. Clowney played mostly in passing situations and finished with one tackle.
Titans QB Zach Mettenberger turned the ball over twice, finishing with
299 yards passing and two touchdowns. The Titans (2-6) go into their
bye having lost two straight.
The Texans had given up 24 points in a single quarter each of their
past two losses. This time, they trailed only 3-0 early before scoring 27
straight points.
They had no trouble throttling a Tennessee offense playing three rookies with LT Taylor Lewan and RB Bishop Sankey joining Mettenberger.
D.J. Swearinger intercepted a Mettenberger pass in the second quarter
to end the Titans’ first drive into Houston territory, and Tim Jamison
recovered the fumble after Watt sacked Mettenberger and popped the
ball out to end Tennessee’s first drive in the third quarter.
Houston led 13-3 at halftime, a lead that should have been much bigger.
The Titans forced the Texans to settle for two field goals by Randy Bullock 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. He also caught a 5-yard TD pass and scored on
a 1-yard run that he set up with a 43-yard run in the third quarter.
Bullock finished with three field goals, including a long of 49 yards.
Mettenberger gave glimpses of his strong arm with a 48-yard toss to
Kendall Wright and a 43-yarder to Nate Washington. The rookie had his
first career TD pass on a 6-yarder to Delanie Walker.
