HOUSTON TEXANS WEEKLY RELEASE

GAME 13

VS HOUSTON TEXANS VS BALTIMORE RAVENS - RELIANT STADIUM - HOUSTON, TEXAS - MONday, DECEmber 13, 2010 - 7:30 P.M. CT

The Houston Texans (5-7) will need to replicate their trade-mark late-season surge under head coach Gary Kubiak against the Baltimore Ravens (8-4) on Monday Night Foot-ball to keep their AFC South Division title hopes and playoff dreams alive.

The Texans are a collective 12-4 over the last four games of their schedule under Kubiak since 2006, including a combined 10-2 the last three years. The Texans had an identical record with four games remaining in 2009 and finished the season with a four-game winning streak for the franchise’s first win-ning season at 9-7. The difference this year is that Houston sits two games out of the AFC South lead with four games left and a division title being its best shot at the playoffs.

Both teams are coming off tough primtime losses. The Tex-ans battled back from a 17-3 deficit last Thursday at Phila-delphia, taking a 24-20 lead into the fourth quarter before falling 34-24 to the Eagles. Baltimore led Pittsburgh until the final three minutes of the game, losing a 13-10 slugfest to the Steelers on Sunday night.

The NFL’s top rushing-receiving duo of Texans RB Arian Foster and WR Andre Johnson will step into the spotlight against Baltimore’s eighth-ranked defense, led by All-Pro LB Ray Lewis and DE Terrell Suggs. Foster has set numerous team records and is having one of the best seasons in NFL history by an undrafted running back. He leads the NFL with 1,230 rushing yards, 13 rushing touchdowns and 1,709 yards from scrimmage. Johnson is coming off a 149-yard receiving effort against Philadelphia, and ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,018 yards, his third-straight and fifth career 1,000-yard cam-paign. Texans QB Matt Schaub is 249 yards shy of becoming the franchise’s all-time passing leader and ranks seventh in the NFL with 3,089 yards passing.

Baltimore ranks sixth in the NFL in rush defense, giving up 97.8 yards per game. The Ravens have been especially stingy in the red zone, holding opponents to field goals 60 percent of the time.

Baltimore’s answer to Foster and Johnson on offense is RB Ray Rice and WR Anquan Boldin. Rice ranks eighth in the NFL with 1,247 yards from scrimmage and Boldin is ninth in the AFC with 770 yards receiving.

Baltimore leads the all-time series, 3-0, including a 41-13 win against the Texans in the last meeting between the two teams at Reliant Stadium on Nov. 9, 2008.

2010 AFC SOUTH STANDINGS


TEXANS VS. RAVENSBATTLE RED DAY

For every home game, the Houston Texans create a theme and build all of the day’s entertainment around that concept. For Monday’s game vs. Baltimore, the theme is Battle Red Day presented by Halliburton.

The Texans encourage all of their fans to break out their best battle red gear and turn Reliant Stadium into a sea of red on Monday night.

Reliant Stadium will be awash in red floodlights on Mon-day evening, as will a number of buildings around Hous-ton. The team will don its Battle Red jerseys and even the mascot, TORO, has a special Battle Red-themed surprise in store for Texans fans.

BATTLE RED DAY

The national anthem will be performed by Houston so-prano soloist Barbara Padilla.

Ms. Padilla was the first runner up on America’s Got Tal-ent in 2009. She survived Hodgkins Lymphoma through treatment at Houston’s MD Anderson Cancer Center and has gone on to perform as a soloist of many symphonic events, including oratorio and concerts in USA, Italy and Mexico.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

At halftime, Texans fans will be treated to a BMX bicycle stunt show. The cyclists will perform aerial tricks and stunts on portable ramps.

HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT

The Texans introduced their “50-80 Rule” in 2005 which implies that the roof will be open the when the game time temperature is projected to be between 50 and 80 degrees.

The forecast for Monday night calls for clear skies with temperatures in the mid 70s, meaning that there is a good chance that the roof could be open for the second con-secutive game. The roof status is confirmed two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff.

If open, the referee has sole discretion to close it once the game has started. After the two-minute warning, the roof must remain as it is. Once closed, the roof cannot be re-opened during the game.

RELIANT’S 50-80 ROOF RULE

The city of Houston is rolling out the “Battle Red” car-pet for ESPN and for Monday Night Football. A number of prominent buildings around Houston will be bathed in red light over the upcoming weekend in support of the Texans.

Following is a list of potential shooting locations show-casing the Battle Red theme:

BATTLE RED PHOTO OPS AROUND HOUSTON


TEXANS ALL-COMMUNITY TEAM

Every season, Houston Texans football players have the opportunity to participate in the Texans All Community Team, also known as the TACT program. Each participat-ing player buys a block of tickets to every Texans home game and donates them to a charity of their choice, allow-ing hundreds of children access to a Houston Texans expe-rience they would likely otherwise never have.

Between the 24 players participating this year, the TACT program provides nearly 300 tickets per game to Houston-area youth groups.

Following is a list of each of the TACT groups for this sea-son, the players that support them, the organizations that they serve and their seat locations in Reliant Stadium.

2010 HOUSTON TEXANS SCHEDULE


John Harbaugh has led the Baltimore Ravens to the play-offs in each of his first two seasons as head coach, and is in position to do it for a third year this season. He owns a 28-16 regular season record and is 31-18 overall as Balti-more’s head coach.

Harbaugh and Ra-vens QB Joe Flacco set an NFL record when they became the first rookie head coach starting a rookie quar-terback to make the playoffs in their initial two seasons together. In 2008, Harbaugh led Baltimore to an 11-5 regular-season mark after taking over a team that finished 5-11 in 2007. In 2009, the Ra-vens went back to the playoffs as a Wild Card entrant with a 9-7 record.

In both seasons under Harbaugh, the Ravens enjoyed playoff success. In his rookie season, the Ravens ad-vanced to the AFC Championship game after winning at Miami (27-9) and at top-seeded Tennessee, 13-10. Pitts-burgh, the eventual Super Bowl champion, stopped the Ravens, 23-14, in the AFC title matchup. In 2009, Baltimore dominated at New England, 33-14, in the Wild Card game before dropping a 20-3 contest at Super Bowl-bound In-dianapolis in the Divisional Round.

Harbaugh’s first Ravens team tied the NFL record (since 1978) for turnarounds by a head coach taking over a sub-.500 team. The Ravens’ 2-1 playoff record following the ‘08 campaign established a new league standard in this same category. With the 13 total victories, Harbaugh set the NFL record for the most wins ever by a rookie head coach

playing a rookie quarterback (Flacco).

At 31-18 (including playoffs) in his first three seasons, Har-baugh’s teams have the third-most wins behind Indianapolis (34-14), New Orleans (33-14) and Pittsburgh (33-14).

Gary Kubiak is the winningest head coach in Texans his-tory with 36 career victories in four-plus years, including the three best seasons in team history from 2007-09. One of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to create a home field advantage at Reliant Stadium, and he has made great strides in that direction. The Texans have posted a 23-15 (.605 winning pct.) home record since 2006.

Kubiak guided the Texans to a 9-7 record in 2009, highlighted by a season-ending four-game win streak to capture the franchise’s first winning season. Houston narrowly missed its first-ever playoff berth, losing a tie-breaker for the final spot on the last day of the season. The 2009 Texans set franchise records for total offense, scoring offense, total defense and scoring defense. A franchise-record five players earned trips to the Pro Bowl, led by Pro Bowl MVP Matt Schaub.

The 2008 Texans matched their record from the year be-fore, going 8-8 for a second straight year despite an 0-4 start in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which devastated much of Houston and southeast Texas. Houston became just the tenth team in NFL history to start a year 0-4 and fin-ish with a record at or above .500. Houston was one of 11 teams to go 8-4 or better over the last 12 games; and nine of those teams were in the playoffs. The offense enjoyed its most productive season to date, ranking third in the NFL and setting a franchise record with 6,113 total yards.

Year two for Kubiak saw the team achieve the best re-cord in franchise history, finishing 8-8. The Texans won three of their last four and five of their last seven to finish the season at .500. In addition, the Texans set a team mark with a 6-2 record at Reliant Stadium in 2007.

In his rookie season, Kubiak tripled the team’s win total of the previous year, guiding the club to a 6-10 record. The six victories included wins in three of the last five games of the season and the fran-chise’s first ever win against Indianapolis. All six wins came versus AFC opponents, giving the Texans their most wins against conference foes in team annals.

GENERAL MANAGER RICK SMITHTEXANS COACHING STAFF

Rick Smith is in his fifth season as Texans general man-ager after being named to the post on June 5, 2006. The Texans have accumulated 36 wins since then, giving him the most wins for a general manager in Texans his-tory. The Texans have gotten better every season with Smith at the helm and posted their first win-ning season in 2009, going 9-7. Smith has built a team that has battled throughout the year as evidenced by a combined 14-6 re-cord in the final month of the season over the last four years. That record ranks fourth in the NFL and tops among teams in the AFC South. Houston had an NFL-worst .211 winning percentage in the last month of the season before his arrival.

Smith has assembled a front office staff that has the Texans pointed toward sustained success in the NFL and has established himself as a prominent voice around the league in his four years at the helm with the Texans. He was appointed to the NFL’s prestigious eight-man Compe-tition Committee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on December 5, 2008 and was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Al-liance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith was also an original member of the General Managers Ad-visory Committee that provides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations department on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the game.

Smith’s main philosophy has been to build through the draft and supplement via free agency. Last season, 13 players who the Texans signed or acquired during Smith’s tenure started 10 or more games. In the final win of the season against the Patriots, 15 of Houston’s 22 starters had been with the Texans since his arrival in June 2006.

During the 2009 draft, Houston selected eight players, with four starting at least one game. First-round pick LB Brian Cushing was selected to the Pro Bowl and name Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. Second-round pick DE Connor Barwin led all NFL rookie defensive ends with 4.5 sacks.

The Houston Texans made three additions to the offen-sive coaching staff in the offseason: Offensive Coordinator Rick Dennison, Quarterbacks Coach Greg Knapp and Of-fensive Assistant Marc Lubick.

The 51-year-old Dennison is in his 16th season in the NFL as a coach and his 25th year in the league overall. Den-nison has spent 24 years with the Denver Broncos, first as a player from 1982-90 and then as a coach from 1995-09, before being named the Texans’ offensive coordinator on January 11, 2010.

Dennison served as offensive coordinator in Denver from 2006-08 after his predecessor, Gary Kubiak, left Denver to become the head coach of the Texans. He coached the Broncos offensive line from 2001-05 and resumed that role in 2009. He also coached Denver’s special teams from 1997-2000 and was an offensive assistant from 1995-96.

Knapp is also in his 16th season in the NFL as a coach, including the last nine seasons as an offensive coordina-tor. Overall, Knapp is entering his 25th year in coaching.

Knapp coached Texans QB Matt Schaub in Atlanta from 2004-06 as the offensive coordinator of the Falcons.

Knapp spent last season as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and guided an attack that averaged 316.8 yards per game, including 218.9 per game through the air.

Lubick is in his third season in the NFL as a coach or scouting assistant. He worked as Colorado State’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2009. He worked as the Rams wide receivers coach from 2005-07.

A TEXANS WIN MONDAY WOULD...

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK


THE TEXANS WIRE

DANIELS BACK AT PRACTICETE Owen Daniels has missed the last

five games with a hamstring injury, but was back on the practice field Monday, as head coach Gary Kubiak said he ex-pected him to be last week.

Daniels successfully returned from an ACL injury that shelved him for half of

what was looking to be a career year in 2009. Through the first seven games of 2010, Daniels steadily improved and looked to be setting himself up for a breakout game before the hamstring injury set him back.

While the injury report does not come out until Thurs-day, Kubiak commented on his Pro Bowl tight end’s status when asked if he would be starting against the Ravens.

“I got to see if he’s ready to play first,” Kubiak said. “I’m just hoping that he’s available to play and we go from there, but right now it’s a day-to-day, ‘Is he going to be ready to play.’”

PLAYING IT SAFESeveral Texans did not participate in

Monday’s practice, most-notably WR Andre Johnson and DE Mario Williams. However, Johnson and Williams have been held out of early-week workouts on a regular basis, as both have been fight-ing through nagging injuries throughout the season.

Johnson has been hampered by an ankle injury since Week 2 against Wash-ington and is coming off a six-catch, 149-yard effort against Philadelphia.

“I was playing in the first quarter and I was limping out there a good bit,” John-

son said. “I told the doctor we needed to do something because I was slowing down. When we came into the locker room and numbed it up, I came out like a totally new person. The rest of the game I felt fine and it did not affect my play at all.”

Head coach Gary Kubiak told reporters that Johnson will not see the practice field until Thursday and that “It’s probably nothing different than what we’ve been dealing with.”

Kubiak revealed that Williams had been fighting through a sports hernia for most of the season in his post-game press conference in Philadelphia and told reporters Mon-day that the quick turnaround between games probably was a factor in Williams sitting out.

“He’s been dealing with it all year long,” Kubiak said. “We have our routine on how we get him to each Sunday. I think just a Sunday-Thursday quick turnaround was very difficult on him last week. Coming out of the game, it was bothering him quite a bit, but now that we’ve got a good stretch before we play again I don’t see any problem with

him returning to his routine.” Williams is the only player from the 2006 NFL Draft who

has started every single game of his NFL career. The fifth-year veteran has started 76 consecutive games and is Houston’s all-time leader in sacks with 48.0 for his career.

RIGHT SIDE REINFORCEMENTS In addition to WR Andre Johnson and

DE Mario Williams sitting out Monday’s practice, head coach Gary Kubiak re-vealed that RG Mike Brisiel and RT Eric Winston were also nursing shoulder in-juries.

While both Brisiel and Winston have been key components in leading the Tex-ans offense to a No. 7 ranking, capable backups G Antoine Caldwell and T Ra-shad Butler are ready to step up.

Caldwell and Brisiel rotated at right guard in the beginning of the season, with Caldwell starting four games. Butler

earned praise early in the season for his play while filling in for four game at left tackle for Duane Brown.

PRIME TIME FOR PRIMETIME?While not an absolute certainty, a win-

out scenario may in fact be the only way for the Texans to get into the playoffs. If recent history indicates anything, it’s that the Texans are more than capable of closing out a season strong and a win Monday night would be a good start.

The Texans rank fifth in the NFL with a 14-7 mark in De-cember and January since Gary Kubiak took over as head coach in 2006, including a combined 8-3 mark since 2008. Houston was 5-7 in 2009 before closing out the season with four consecutive wins.

“I don’t know,” Kubiak said when asked why his teams have finished so strong. “Hopefully we’ll find it again. We don’t do anything different. We just play a little better at the end. We’ve been doing some things, but we got to do it for four quarters. Hopefully, we’ll head in that same di-rection.”

Houston has averaged an NFL-best 407.2 yards of of-fense per game since 2008 in December and January, while ranking third in scoring with 24.8 points per game. Conversely, Baltimore has had one of the NFL’s stingiest defenses over the same time period, holding opponents to 283.5 yards per game (third in the NFL) and an NFL-low 14.0 points per game in those contests.

SCORING

The Texans offense seemed shaky against the Ravens 3-4 defense, which caused two Texans three-and-outs to start the game. Rookie QB Joe Flacco completed a 43-yard touchdown pass to WR Yamon Figurs to open the scoring in the first quarter.

Texans QB Sage Rosenfels had a pass tipped and in-tercepted late in the first quarter at the Ravens one-yard line, the first of four interceptions on the day by Rosenfels.

After a defensive stop by Houston, K Kris Brown put the Texans on the board with a 23-yard field goal. Houston’s defense held again, but rookie T Duane Brown was called for holding in the end zone, resulting in a safety and a 9-3 Baltimore lead.

Flacco continued to impress and drove the Ravens to another score, a 54-yard field goal by K Steve Hauschka gave Baltimore a 12-3 lead.

Houston answered with its own field goal as time ex-pired in the second quarter, a season-long 48-yard kick by Brown.

On the opening drive of the second half, Baltimore RB Willis McGahee punched one in from the one-yard line, to increase Baltimore’s lead to 19-6. After another inter-ception by Rosenfels and a quick stop by the Texans de-fense, Rosenfels connected with WR Kevin Walter on a 60-yard scoring strike to bring Houston within 19-13.

Houston’s hopes of a comeback were shattered when the team imploded in the fourth quarter, throwing two in-terceptions and allowing 22 points by the Ravens.

Baltimore TE Todd Heap caught two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and McGahee ran for another score late in the fourth to close out the scoring.

Houston fell to 3-6 with the loss, its second in a row.

TEXANS INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS


(on injuries from the game) “(G) Mike Brisiel’s got a little shoulder issue that he’s going to be day-to-day right now. (TE) Joel Dreessen just has bruised ribs; he should be fine. (WR) Andre (Johnson) basically just re-tweaked his ankle but all the preliminary tests we took this morning show nothing, no significant change in what we’re looking at since he did it. (DE) Mario’s (Williams) sports hernia, you know he’s been battling through that all year long. And that’s about it.”

(on DE Mario Williams’ sports hernia) “Obviously it’s been bothering him but he’s been fighting through it for the team. I know it’s bothering him, just watching him play last night, watching him try to fight through it. He had some injections on Wednesday in Philadelphia before the game. Sometimes it takes a few days for those injections to kick in. He’s been doing all he can but I know it’s obviously bothering him. So we’ll continue to treat him the same way we’ve been doing it, trying to bring him along to each game day. I think he’s trying to give us everything he’s got, but it’s obviously been bothering him.”

(on if there was a mistake made by the game officials on how much time went off the clock during the review of Philadelphia’s third-and-19 play in the fourth quarter) “I don’t know. I’ll have to go back and look.”

(on the play of the Texans defense against Philadelphia) “Well, it wasn’t good enough. We got beat. Like I said, our objective was to try and be sound and keep (Philadelphia QB Michael Vick) in the pocket, make him beat us from the pocket. He’s playing well. It doesn’t matter if he’s moving or in the pocket, he’s doing a hell of a job. When you get beat, nothing is good enough. So it didn’t work out.”

(on the third-and-19 play in the fourth quarter that Phil-adelphia TE Brent Celek converted for a first down) “It should never happen. We were in quarters. Bottom line right there, is we were just trying to get off the field, make them kick a field goal so a touchdown wins the game for you. I think the issue was time; he (Philadelphia QB Mi-chael Vick) had too much time to throw. We didn’t hold up in coverage long enough. In this league, you get third-and-10-plus, you should be off the field 90 to 95 percent of the time. You obviously can’t give up a play right there.”

(on if QB Matt Schaub checked out of any plays on the drives that followed after Houston took a 24-20 lead) “When we went down 27-24, we got the ball back and we threw two passes. They were complete for first downs. We had a completion, a completion for a first down. Then we lined up and jumped offside. We had first-and-15. I think we jumped offside again. We ended up with like a third-and-15. That’s why I think there were four passes there. After that, we were down by 10 with inside of five minutes left, so I’m going to throw the ball, try to win the game. So that’s why you saw the passes. Up to that point, we were very balanced in what we were doing.”

(on what Philadelphia was doing to contain RB Arian Foster) “They did a really good job. They played us kind of all over the map; a lot of pressure, a lot of different cover-ages, never really locked into one or two things that they were doing. If you take away (WR) Arian’s (Foster) right before the half and you take away (WR) Andre’s (Johnson) run and couple of (RB) Derrick’s (Ward), which were very good, our running game wasn’t what it had been. We kept grinding and it helped us move the ball, kept us balanced in our approach and what we were doing, like I said, until we got down 34-24, we had been running a little bit better than we did last night. I wouldn’t say it was anything they did. We got to do what we’ve been doing better.”

(on why the Texans didn’t tackle as well against Phila-delphia as they did the week before against Tennessee, other than going against Eagles QB Michael Vick) “Well, we were trying to tackle a hell of a player back there. That made it tougher. Still, that’s no excuse. You got to find a way to get him down. We had him in our grasp, in the pocket, probably three or four times and let him get away. Out in the open field, the back really made some of us look bad. We didn’t tackle well and especially didn’t tackle well in the fourth quarter in those two drives.”

(on if he is concerned about his kickoff and kickoff return teams) “Well actually, our kickoff return had improved a great deal over the course of the last month, but yesterday was very poor. We struggled. (RB) Steve (Slaton) dropped one ball. That wind was blowing one way and we misjudge a ball that one time. We got hurt in the field position game. The kickoff when we went up 24-20 really hurt the team. It flipped the field position. At 27-24, we had a chance to pin them and had a poor punt. Everything added to it. Once we hit 24-20, it started with the kickoff and then we took our turns making mistakes.”

(on if they were meaning to kick a squib kick at 24-20) “No, absolutely not. Just missed it.”

(on the most disappointing part of this game) “Just that we couldn’t finish the deal. We went into a tough place to play against what I think is a hell of a football team and like I said last night, we had control of the game going into the fourth quarter and then let it get away from us. That’s part of this league. You get into those games, you’ve got to find a way to close and we found a way not to close in all three phases. Not just one.”

(on what they can do that they haven’t already done) “We’ve just got to keep going. We’re playing a lot of people. We’re playing some new faces back there. We’ve got to keep doing that. We’ve got a safety issue right now. We’ve got three safeties on this football team. We’ve lost two in the last couple weeks, so that’s something that we’ve got to address. We’ve got to find a way to continue to get better somehow, someway with the people we’ve got.”

GARY KUBIAK TRANSCRIPTFRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2010


(on what happened to SS Bernard Pollard when he went down) “He just got the breath knocked out of him, really. As far as I know, he’s fine today.”

(on if he plans to keep defensive coordinator Frank Bush on the field) “Yeah, we’ll continue to do that.”

(on if the new faces have had a positive impact the past month or so) “I think (CB) Jason (Allen), for a guy who’s been here two and half to three weeks; I think the coaches have done a good job of getting him in position to help us out. I think he’s done some good things. (LB Darryl) Sharp-ton deserves the right to go on the field even though last night we were in a lot of nickel, so he did not play that much. I think he only played 11 or 12 plays, he and (LB) Zac (Diles). It depends on who you’re playing as far as much how much time they get. (DE) Timmy (Jamison) came in and did some good things. He played sparingly in the game last night, but was very effective when he played. We need to give him a chance to play some more.”

(on if he feels fortunate that even though they are 5-7, they still have a shot at the division) “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the division. Like I said last night, we’re all playing each other here over the course of the next four weeks and still five weeks for a few teams. It’ll work itself out. Right now, we’ve got to concentrate on trying to win our sixth game and we’ve got another great team com-ing in here next week and so we need to stay focused on that.”

(on what QB Matt Schaub was complaining about after the 4th and 5 incompletion) “I think he might’ve been com-plaining about the pass interference. I think. I don’t know. You’ll have to ask him.”

(on his team complaining a lot about pass interference not being called on the fourth down pass to WR Kevin Walter) “We thought it was pass interference, but if they don’t make the call, they don’t make it.”

(on QB Dan Orlovsky not knowing where his helmet was at the end of the first half) “I didn’t know anything about that. Sometimes, y’all have to understand, that if you’re the quarterback or you’re the certain linebacker that has the ability to have the (communication) system in their helmet, your helmets are kept somewhere else because you can’t have two of the same guys go on the field at the same time that have the communication system.”

(on whether CB Sherrick McManis has earned more play-ing time with the way he has played) “Yeah. He played about three or four plays and he went in there and they ran Iso on him and he ended up at Will linebacker because we got caught in nickel and he blew up the fullback and made the tackle. So yeah, he needs to get out there some more.”

(on CB Antwaun Molden) “He’s playing special teams; hasn’t played much on defense. That’s just our deci-sion with what we see right now on the practice field. It doesn’t mean he’s not capable of going out there, but right now we’re working with (CB) Jason (Allen) and getting him involved.”

(on if CB Antwaun Molden should get more opportuni-ties on defense) “I think he’s getting opportunities on the practice field. We’ll see how it goes.”

(on how QB Matt Schaub’s play this season compares to last year through 12 games) “Well, his numbers are down because our offense has shifted in another direction, so that’s what’s going on from that standpoint. I think he’s been pretty consistent, but I think he’d be the first one to tell you that he can play better. It’s like last night, he’s got six or seven plays that I know he wants back. We had a long talk this morning. Playing that position in this league is about trying to be perfect and not just be good. He’s pretty damn good, but we need him to be perfect.”

(on if there is an emphasis for QB Matt Schaub and the offense to score points because the defense is struggling) “You bet there is. That’s part of his job. You play that posi-tion, that’s something you carry with you.”

(on whether the increased pressure to score has changed the way QB Matt Schaub plays this year compared to last season) “I carried him to that same standard last year.”

(on what he has done to try and get the team off to bet-ter starts in games) “Let’s be realistic. Let’s look at last night. Why did we get off to a bad start? We gave up an 85-yard drive and an 80-yard drive in the first two drives of the game and we ran seven plays and kicked a field goal, so we played poorly on defense in the first quarter. We had the wind at our back in a tough place to plan and were never able to take advantage of it in the first quarter, so we dug ourselves a big hole and we fought our way out of it. And then we got a little lucky, actually, when we cut the game to 17-10 and we threw the interception, we could’ve been in real trouble, but we stood up and held them to three so we’re probably very fortunate to be in a 10-point game at halftime.” (on whether his team feels confident when its behind in games) “Well, I’ve always tried to teach them since I’ve been here that it doesn’t matter if you’re up 10 or 14 in the first quarter or down 10 or 14 in the first quarter, you’ve got to play four quarters, and I think that’s what this league is all about. The good teams find a way to do that week in and week out.”

SCORING

The Texans were focused on turning around their sea-son and keeping pace in the AFC South, but their determi-nation wasn’t enough to overcome the exploits of sensa-tional QB Michael Vick.

Roaring back from a 17-3 first quarter deficit, the Texans went on a 24-3 run and controlled the clock for 12:34 in the third quarter to take a 24-20 lead with less than 16 minutes left in the game.

Vick responded by rushing for a touchdown and passing for another score on consecutive drives to help give the Eagles a 34-24 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.

The turning point came on TE Brent Celek’s first-down catch on third-and-19 from the Houston 24. The play ini-tially was ruled short of a first down, but a replay review overturned the play and moved the chains. Two plays lat-er, the Eagles made it a two-possession game on Vick’s pass to FB Owen Schmitt with 4:23 to play.

Vick accounted for 350 of Philadelphia’s 416 net yards of offense and constantly eluded defenders in the pocket.

After allowing touchdowns on the Eagles’ first two pos-sessions, the Texans limited Philadelphia to two field goals and a punt on their next three series.

In the third quarter, RB Arian Foster scored twice, and WR Andre Johnson caught two passes for 50 total yards. Defensively, CB Jason Allen forced only the second inter-ception for Vick this season when he stepped in front of a deep pass intended for WR Jeremy Maclin.

The fourth quarter was a different story. While the Ea-gles found the end zone twice, the Texans punted, turned the ball over on downs and then lost a fumble before the game slipped away near the two-minute warning.

PROTECT THE BALL

The Texans rank seventh in the NFL in total offense, av-eraging 373.0 net yards of offense per game. A majority of that yardage comes after halftime as the Texans rank 27th in the NFL in first half offensive production, averaging only 145.3 yards.

However, the Texans rank first in the second half of-fensive production, averaging 227.8 yards. The 82.5-yard improvement in average after halftime is tops in the NFL and the reason why the Texans rank seventh overall in total offense.

OUR BETTER HALF


2010 TEXANS NOTES

The Texans passing game has been one of the most dan-gerous in the NFL in the last three seasons. Houston has averaged 268.9 net passing yards per game to rank third in the league since 2008.

HOUSTON’S PROLIFIC PASSING ATTACK

Houston is the only NFL team that can say it has three 1,000-yard rushers on its active roster and one of six NFL teams that can tout at least two 1,000-yard rushers on its active roster. RB Steve Slaton rushed for 1,282 yards as a rookie in 2008 and RB Derrick Ward rushed for 1,025 yards for the New York Giants, also in 2008. RB Arian Foster has joined the duo this season with 1,230 yards rushing.

RB Arian Foster and WR Andre John-son have formed the NFL’s top rushing-receiving duo this season.

Johnson and Foster have combined for 2,248 scrimmage yards, based on Fos-ter’s rushing (1,230 yards) and Johnson’s receving (1,018 yards). No other pair has better numbers and Atlanta’s Roddy White (1,140 receiving) and Michael Turner (1,062 rushing) are the only other duo with more than 1,000 yards rushing and receiving.

Johnson and Foster have accounted for 2,737 yards from scrimmage this season

when you factor in all their rushing and receiving yards, which accounts for 61 percent of Houston’s offense.

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair has built an organi-zational infrastructure that has helped place his franchise among the world’s most valuable sports franchises. The Texans rank tenth on Forbes’ 2010 list of the 10 Most Valu-able Teams In Sports with an estimated worth of $1.15 bil-lion. Houston ranks sixth in the NFL in value, according to the list.

Perhaps most impressive is the fact that the Texans are the only team on the list founded in the 21st century.

TEXANS SHOWING THEIR VALUE

Houston has two coaches remaining from the inaugural season. Running backs coach Chick Harris and special teams coordinator Joe Marciano are the lone holdovers from the 2002 staff and have been present for all 167 pre-season and regular season Texans games.

THE ORIGINAL TEXANS

With the loss of the last original Texan, K Kris Brown, WR Andre Johnson has assumed the role of elder statesman for the Texans franchise.

Johnson, the team’s first-round draft pick and third over-all selection in the 2003 NFL Draft, is the only Texan who played for the team prior to the 2006 season, prior to head coach Gary Kubiak’s tenure in Houston. He is currently third on the all-time games played list for the Texans with 113 and is just the third player to play eight seasons with the team in 2010.

DRE CLAIMS SENIORITY


GARY KUBIAK NOTES

The Texans have outrushed their opponents 39 times since Gary Kubiak took over as head coach in 2006, and the Texans are 28-11 in those games, including 4-3 this year. Houston outrushed Indianapolis 257-44 in the 2010 season opener, the largest differential in rushing yards against an opponent in the Kubiak Era.

OUT-RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT

One of head coach Gary Kubiak’s themes with his team has been the importance of winning the turnover battle. Since 2006 under Kubiak, the Texans have won the turn-over battle 26 times. Houston is 21-5 in those games.

Houston had a minus-one turnover ratio in 2009, giving the ball away 28 times and forcing 27 turnovers. The Tex-ans are 3-2 this year when winning the turnover battle.

GARY KUBIAK NOTES

When head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006, he brought with him an offensive philosophy based on a strong running game and a precision passing attack.

Since 2006, the Texans have the second-most accurate passing offense in the NFL. Texans quarterbacks have combined to complete 66.3 percent of their passes.

TEXANS ON THE MARK

The improved pass protection of the offensive line has been a key reason the Houston passing attack has been one of the most dangerous in the NFL under head coach Gary Kubiak over the last three-plus seasons.

Since 2007, Texans quarterbacks have been sacked 105 times on 2,185 pass plays, or a mere 4.81 percent of the time. That sack percentage is the fifth-best in the NFL over the last four years.

IMPROVED PASS PROTECTION

There certainly is no lack of NFL experience on the Tex-ans’ sidelines. Head coach Gary Kubiak’s coaching staff consists of nine former players with a combined total of 71 seasons played in the NFL. The group is also one of eight NFL teams with a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Offensive Assistant Bruce Matthews) on staff. Only San Francisco has more coaches on staff with NFL playing ex-perience than the Texans:

TEXANS OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

The Texans are ranked fourth in the AFC and seventh in the NFL in total offense, averaging 373.0 yards per game. Houston is seventh in the league with 130.5 rushing yards per game and 10th in passing with 242.5 yards per game.

The Texans emphasized improvement in the run game following the 2009 season and have come through in 2010. Houston has rushed for more than 200 yards in a game twice this season, something it had done only once in the eight seasons prior. In addition, the offense set mid-season franchise rushing records and currently has 1,566 yards on 325 carries (4.8 average) and 16 touchdowns. The Texans are on pace to shatter team rushing records behind RB Arian Foster’s performance in 2010.

Foster has put up MVP-like numbers in 2010, and leads the NFL in nearly every statistical area for running backs with 1,230 rushing yards, 1,709 total yards from scrimmage and 98 first downs gained, and a league-best 13 rushing touch-downs. Foster is 53 yards shy of setting the franchise’s single-season rushing record (Steve Slaton, 1,282 yards in 2008) and 67 scrimmage yards away from Domanick Williams’ team mark (1,776 in 2004). He set a single-game rushing record with 231 rushing yards on Kickoff Weekend against the Colts, after which he was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week and FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

Eighth-year veteran WR Andre Johnson has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark receiving for the third straight year and fifth time in his career. He leads the team with 71 receptions and ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,018 receiving yards. He is the only receiver in NFL history to record at least 60 recep-tions in each of his first eight seasons.

The team set a franchise record with 468 net passing yards in a Week 2 overtime win at Washington. QB Matt Schaub completed 38-of-52 passes for 497 yards, the 12th-highest total in NFL history, and three touchdowns in the win. The Texans rolled up 526 yards of total offense in the game, the second-most in team history, and Johnson and Kevin Walter both had more than 10 catches for more than 100 yards in the game, a first in team history.

The offensive line has paved the way for Foster and the unit’s success this season. RT Eric Winston, who has an-chored the offensive line with 67 consecutive starts, LT Duane Brown, free agent signee LG Wade Smith, C Chris Myers, RG Mike Brisiel, and veteran FB Vonta Leach have developed into a formidable unit, pushing the limits of some of the NFL’s best defenses.

Johnson went over the 8,000-yard mark for his career and caught his 600th career reception against Washington in Week 2. He became the third-fastest player in NFL history to reach 600 receptions, doing it in his 104th career game.

TE Joel Dreessen has set career highs with 27 receptions for 399 yards and four touchdowns. WR Jacoby Jones (29 receptions) and second-year TE James Casey (seven re-ceptions) have also set career highs this season.

OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

QUARTERBACKSThe Texans offense lies in the capable hands of 2010 Pro

Bowl MVP Matt Schaub. Schaub ranks fifth in the AFC in at-tempts, completions, completion percentage and is fourth in passing yards. All totaled, Schaub has completed 258-of-403 passes (64.0 percent) for 3,089 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions with a 93.2 passer rating. He be-came the franchise’s all-time winningest quarterback with 24 victories as a starter in the Week 12 win against Tennes-see and is 249 shy of the all-time passing mark for the team heading into Monday’s game.

In Week 2 at Washington, Schaub threw for a team-re-cord 497 yards on 38-of-52 passing to help the Texans to the franchise’s first overtime win. It was the 12th-highest passing total in NFL history.

The seventh-year signal caller has also led his team back from a pair of double-digit fourth quarter deficits. He led the team back from 10 points down at Washington in Week 2 and again in Week 6 against Kansas City.

Schaub is on pace for his second-consecutive 4,000-yard passing season. He posted elite numbers in 2009, which marked his first season starting all 16 games as a pro. He ranked among the league’s top five passers in six catego-ries and his 4,770 passing yards not only led the league, but were also the sixth-most in NFL history. Schaub also led the league in attempts (583) and completions (396). His 67.9 completion percentage was fourth in the league, and he ranked fifth in yards per attempt (8.18) and passing touch-downs (29). His 98.6 passer rating ranked seventh.

Schaub was the starting quarterback for the AFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl and earned Most Valuable Player honors af-ter setting the Pro Bowl record with a passer rating of 151.3, throwing for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

In four seasons as the Texans starter, Schaub has thrown for 13,143 yards with a team-record 70 touchdowns and 42 interceptions. Schaub has posted a quarterback rating of 93.9 since joining the team, which is by far the highest in franchise history among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts.

Dan Orlovsky won the backup job in the 2010 preseason. Orlovsky signed with the Texans during the opening week-end of free agency following the 2008 season. He started seven games in 2008 for the Detroit Lions, completing 143-of-255 passes for 1,616 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Former Heisman Trophy winner and fifth-year veteran Matt Leinart signed with the Texans following the 2010 pre-season. Leinart started 17 times and played in 29 games in his four years in Arizona, throwing for 3,893 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has earned praise from head coach Gary Kubiak for his grasp on the offense and ability to run it if called upon.

RUNNING BACKSSecond-year RB Arian Foster, who came on strong late

in 2009, burst onto the NFL rushing scene with the great-

OFFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION



est rushing performance in Texans history in the season opener against the Colts with 231 yards on 33 carries and three rushing touchdowns. Foster’s breakout day marked the second-best season-opening rushing performance in NFL history (O.J. Simpson, 250 yards in 1973).

He has not looked back since, leading virtually every sta-tistical category, threatening and setting franchise marks along the way.

Foster is having one of the greatest seasons by an un-drafted running back in NFL history. He leads the NFL with 1,230 yards rushing on 246 carries (5.0 average), 13 rushing touchdowns, 15 total touchdowns, 1,709 yards from scrim-mage and 98 first downs gained. He has proven to be one of the best receiving backs in the NFL this season, ranking second on the team with 50 receptions for 479 yards and two touchdowns.

Priest Holmes is the only undrafted running back to pro-duce more yards through 10 games (1,012 in 2002) in a season than Foster’s 1,004 through 10 games this season. Foster leads all NFL running backs with 18 receptions on third down and is tied for the NFL lead with six 100-yard performances this season. He has also scored multiple touchdowns in six games.

Foster spent the first 10 weeks of 2009 on the Texans’ practice squad but came on strong once he was elevated to the active roster, finishing fourth on the squad with 256 yards rushing.

The Texans bolstered their backfield with the addition of veteran RB Derrick Ward immediately following the pre-season. Ward has consistently spelled Foster and ranks second on the team with 231 yards rushing on 38 carries (6.1 average).

Ward led the New York Giants in with 1,409 combined yards in 2008, rushing for 1,025 yards (5.6 average) and catching 41 passes for 384 yards. He spent the 2009 season with Tampa Bay.

Since signing with the Texans, Ward has experienced a resurgence, scoring touchdowns in three straight games for the first time in his career earlier in the season, while also serving as a veteran mentor to Foster. In Week 4 at Oakland, Ward rushed for 80 yards on 12 carries, includ-ing a 33-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for his first points as a Texan.

RB Steve Slaton, who led the team in rushing in 2008 and 2009, is third on the team with 93 yards rushing. Slaton has served as the team’s kickoff returner for most of the season and leads the team with 513 yards on 27 returns.

FB Vonta Leach has played in all 71 games he’s been with the Texans since joining the team mid-way through the 2006 season and has developed a reputation as one of the best blocking backs in the NFL. Head coach Gary Kubiak called Leach’s performance in the 2010 season opener the best he’d seen from the seventh-year vet as he helped clear the way for Foster’s record day. Leach has also proven to be a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 76 career recep-tions for 537 yards and four touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERSThe Texans receiving corps, led by All-Pro Andre John-

son, continues to be one of the most dangerous groups in the NFL. Johnson has continued his ascent up the NFL’s all-time receiving list and is tied for third in the NFL with 71 re-ceptions and is fourth with 1,018 yards. Johnson also leads the team with five touchdown receptions despite missing Week 4 at Oakland due to injury.

Johnson became the only player in NFL history to record at least 60 receptions in each of his first eight seasons against Tennessee in Week 12 and he went over the 1,000-yard mark in a season for the third consecutive year and fifth time in his career with a 149-yard effort against Phila-delphia on December 2.

Two of his touchdown catches came when the Texans needed it most, forcing overtime in Week 2 against Wash-ington and snaring the game-winning score against Kan-sas City in Week 6 with 28 seconds remaining in the game. Johnson tied a team record with 12 receptions against Washington and had 158 yards receiving, 34 of which came on the game-tying score.

Johnson led the league in receiving yards for the second consecutive year in 2009 with 1,569 and caught a career-high nine touchdown passes. Johnson has 643 career re-ceptions for 8,761 yards and 46 touchdowns. Since 2006, Johnson has been the most productive receiver in the NFL, averaging 91.1 yards per game.

Kevin Walter starts opposite Johnson for the fourth straight year and ranks third on the team with 35 recep-tions for 417 yards and is tied for second on the team lead with four touchdowns. In 2009, Walter caught 53 passes for 611 yards and two touchdowns. Since joining the Texans in 2006, Walter has caught 230 passes for 2,877 yards and 18 touchdowns, tied for the third-most in Texans history.

Fourth-year pro Jacoby Jones has become more involved in the offense in 2010, adding to his versatility as a returner on special teams. He has set a career high with 29 recep-tions, totaling 275 yards and two touchdowns despite miss-ing Week 5 with a calf injury.

Andre Johnson is the only player in NFL history to record 60 or more receptions in each of his first eight NFL seasons.



Jones hauled in a career-high six passes against Washing-ton, including a crucial third down conversion in overtime. Jones caught a 27 passes for 437 yards and six touchdown catches in 2009. In four seasons, Jones has caught 74 pass-es for 942 yards and eight touchdowns.

David Anderson turned in the best season of his career in 2009. The fifth-year receiver out of Colorado State caught 38 passes for 370 yards, both career highs. Since being picked in the seventh round in 2006, Anderson has caught 73 passes for 808 yards and three touchdowns. He has eight receptions for 89 yards this season. Anderson has totaled five recpe-tions for 82 yards the last three games.

Houston’s seventh-round draft pick, WR Dorin Dickersonout of Pittsburgh, is the new face in the group. Dickerson played the latter half of his college career at tight end, set-ting school records for touchdown receptions at that posi-tion. He has since shown the speed to play wide receiver in the NFL, while also maintaining some of the size and block-ing ability that made him an elite collegiate tight end.

TIGHT ENDSThe tight end position was dealt a tough blow in 2009 with

the loss of Pro Bowler Owen Daniels to a season-ending knee injury in Houston’s Week 8 win at Buffalo. Daniels was on pace for a career year, with 40 catches for 519 yards and five touchdowns through eight games.

Daniels, who steadily improved each week in 2010 until a hamstring injury left him inactive the last five weeks, showed Pro Bowl form in Week 6 against Kansas City with a season-high 79 yards on five receptions. He currently has 16 recep-tions for 200 yards. In five seasons, he has caught 223 passes for 2,701 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was elevated to the active roster from the Active PUP List the last week of the 2010 preseason.

The loss of Daniels in 2009 and in 2010 has certainly af-fected the offense but has been lessened as Joel Dreessenhas emerged as a viable receiving threat. Dreessen has set season career highs with 27 receptions for 399 yards and four touchdowns. He leads the team with 14.8 yards per catch and posted a career-best 106 yards receiving on four receptions for a touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 11. He also led the Texans with five receptions for 73 yards in Week 4 at Oakland, and again with five receptions for 66 yards in Week 9 against San Diego. Dreessen made a clutch catch in overtime in Week 2 against Washington, pulling down his first reception of the season, a 28-yarder that set up the game-winning field goal. Dreessen played in all 16 games for the second straight season and caught 26 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown. Since joining the Texans in 2007, Dreessen has caught 61 passes for 763 yards and seven touchdowns.

Second-year TE James Casey is a sure-handed option with surprising speed. He made the most of his first opportunity at extended playing time on offense in Week 9 against San Diego, setting career highs with four receptions for 48 yards. Casey has the ability to line up anywhere on the field and has set career highs with seven receptions for 77 yards.

The Texans added fourth-round draft pick Garrett Graham. Graham set a Wisconsin school record for tight ends with 16

career touchdown receptions to go along with 121 catches and 1,492 yards. He started 33-of-40 games played for Wis-consin and earned First Team All-Big Ten Conference selec-tions as a junior and senior.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe Texans offensive line paved the way for the most

prolific season in franchise history in 2009 and is re-setting records in 2010. In 2009, Houston’s passing attack led the league, averaging 290.9 yards per game. The unit is doing the same for the NFL’s No. 7 offense through Week 13, aver-aging 373.0 yards per game. The line used the 2010 season opener to show it’s physicality, opening holes for Arian Fos-ter’s record rushing day and 257 total rushing yards and has paved the way for the NFL’s seventh-ranked rushing offense at 130.5 yards per game.

Houston’s line has already helped produce two 200-yard rushing days (257 vs. Indianapolis and 249 at Oakland), some-thing the team had only done once in the eight years prior.

Fifth-year veteran Chris Myers has started 60 straight games at center, including 44 in Houston, often playing through injury, and has earned praise from head coach Gary Kubiak for his play throughout the season.

Mike Brisiel, who is coming off a left foot injury that placed him on injured reserve in 2009, rotated at right guard with Antoine Caldwell through the first half of the season, but has solidified himself as the starter since. Caldwell has the ability to play any of the three interior line positions and made three starts at right guard during his rookie campaign and saw ac-tion in 11 total games a year ago.

Brisiel and Caldwell both impressed head coach Gary Ku-biak with their play during the preseason. Caldwell started four games this season, all before Week 8. Brisiel has start-ed eight games this season and has seen a majority or all of the playing time at right guard in the last few weeks.

At RT, Eric Winston has started 66 consecutive games for the Texans. Winston, a third-round pick in the 2006 draft, has started every game over the last four-plus seasons and is considered one of the best right tackles in the league.

Veteran newcomer G Wade Smith starts at LG. Smith played the majority of his snaps with the Kansas City Chiefs (2008-09) at right guard and center and worked primarily at tackle with the New York Jets (2006-07). The former third-round selection of Miami in 2003 has played in 86 career games with 46 starts, including every game at left guard this season.

Duane Brown, Houston’s first-round pick in 2008, has started all 40 games he has played in in his career at left tackle. After splitting reps as a rookie, Brown played nearly every offensive snap in 2009, missing only a few series in the second half at St. Louis (12/20) in Week 15. He returned from a four-game suspension against Indianapolis and started against San Diego in Week 9.

Fifth-year veteran Rashad Butler made his first career start in Week 3 against Dallas and started the following three games until Brown returned from suspension.

Kasey Studdard, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2007, started 14 games in 2009 and saw his only action of the sea-son in Week 6 against Kansas City.


ARIAN FOSTER NOTES

RB Arian Foster is one of only 10 un-drafted players in NFL history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Foster eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in Week 11 against the New York Jets and has an NFL-best 1,230 yards this season.

Priest Holmes is the only other undraft-ed player in NFL history to rush for more

yards in the first 10 games of a season than Foster. Holmes had 1,012 yards for through the first 10 games of the 2002 season for Kansas City to Foster’s 1,004 yards through this season. To date, Foster’s rushing total is seventh all-time among undrafted players.

Foster currently has the fifth-most scrimmage yards in a season by an undrafted player with four games remaining in the regular season.

Foster is averaging 142.4 scrimmage yards per game, which puts him on pace to challenge Holmes’ all-time mark among undrafted players of 2,287 in 2002, which ranks 10th on the all-time single-season list.

ARIAN FOSTER NOTES

No one has been better at getting first downs in the NFL this season than RB Arian Foster, who has moved the chains 98 times. So it only makes sense to give the ball to him on third down and that’s what the Texans do nearly a third of the time.

Foster has carried the ball 27 times on third down, rush-ing for a first down 20 times (74.1 percent). No running back with more than 20 carries on third down besides Foster this season has even a 50 percent success rate on third down rushing.

ARIAN FOSTER NOTES

Texans RB Arian Foster set numerous team records in the season opener against with a performance that put the former undrafted free agent on the national sports scene just seven games and two starts into his career.

Foster was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week and voted FedEx Ground Player of the Week by fans on NFL.com after he ran for 231 yards on 33 carries with three touchdowns against the Colts, all marks that either set or tied team records. He rushed for the second-most yards ever in an NFL season opener and is the only NFL back to rush for three touchdowns and more than 200 yards in a season opener.

LEADER OF THE PACK

RB Arian Foster is in good but rare company with the numbers he has posted running the ball.

Foster is one of just three players in NFL history to ac-cumulate more than 500 rushing yards and 100 yards re-ceiving in the season’s first four games. Foster had 537 yards rushing and 152 yards receving through the first four games of the season to give him a league-best 689 yards from scrimmage. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith and Billy Sims join Foster in accomplishing the feat.

WR Andre Johnson has caught two touchdown passes this season that have come at pivotal points in Texans wins, tying the game at Washington in Week 2 in the fourth quarter and providing the winning margin in the Week 6 win against Kansas City. But that’s nothing new for John-son.

Sixteen of Johnson’s 47 career touchdown receptions have come when the team is trailing by seven points or less.

Since 2009, Johnson has pulled in 54 passes for 738 yards and five touchdowns when his team has been down by seven points or less. Only Reggie Wayne has more receptions (55) and yards (774) in those situations since 2009.

MATT SCHAUB NOTES

QB Matt Schaub led the NFL with 4,770 passing yards in 2009, the sixth-highest single-season total in NFL history.

In Week 2 this season, Schaub through for an NFL-high 497 yards in a 30-27 over-time win at Washington, setting a team record. It was the 12th-highest single-

game total in NFL history. Schaub completed 38-of-52 passes for a 73.1 completion percentage. Only one player in NFL history has a higher completion percentage while throwing for at least 475 yards in a game. Kansas City’s El-vis Grbac completed 39-of-53 passes for 504 yards against Oakland on November 5, 2000. In addition, Schaub and Redskins QB Donovan McNabb are one of just five sets of opposing quarterbacks who have thrown for more than 400 yards in the same game.

SCHAUB AMONG ALL-TIME GREATS

Schaub

Texans QB Matt Schaub was a member of the draft class of 2004, one which may go down as the greatest quarter-back draft class since 1983.

Two of the quarterbacks drafted that year have already won the Super Bowl and a third has led his team to a conference championship game. While Schaub has yet to reach the postseason, his passing numbers more than match up with those of his classmates.

Schaub has averaged 262.4 passing yards per game as a starter, which is the highest among quarterbacks in the 2004 draft class.

SCHAUB AT THE TOP OF HIS CLASS

QB Matt Schaub has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL from 2007-10, completing 66.3 percent of his pass attempts. Schaub hasn’t just dinked and dunked his way down the field, however. Schaub has averaged 7.94 yards per pass attempt since joining the Texans in 2007, third-highest in the league in that time. That average would rank ninth in NFL history. Schaub’s career average of 7.81 yards per attempt is 12th all-time.

In the last four seasons, Johnson has averaged 97.2 yards per game. In the four seasons prior to Schaub’s ar-rival, Johnson averaged just 64.8 yards per game.

TEXANS OFFENSIVE NOTES

WR Kevin Walter and TE Owen Dan-iels have emerged as two of the Texans ‘top receiving threats since both joined the team in 2006. Only WR Andre John-son ranks ahead of the pair in recep-tions, yards and receiving touchdowns in that time.

The two currently rank second and third on Houston’s all-time receptions and receiving yardage lists and are sec-ond and fourth on the franchise receiv-ing touchdowns list, often alternating places on those lists on a weekly basis.

FOR THE RECORD

RB Derrick Ward joined the Texans fol-lowing the preseason and has quickly become one of the offense’s biggest contributors, ranking second on the team with 231 yards rushing and scored touch-downs in three straight games, a career first.

It was only the third time a Texan running back has rushed for a touchdown in three consecutive games (Domanick Williams, six games in 2004; Ron Dayne, three games in 2006). Teammate Arian Foster has since run for a touchdown in five consecutive games.

RESURGENT WARD

AT HOME ON THE ROAD


This is the way it was supposed to be: Texans offensive linemen C Chris Myers, RT Eric Winston and LT Rashad Butler all starting in the front five...six years ago.

Houston’s center and bookend tackles all played at the University of Miami at the same time and were projected to be on the same starting offensive line in 2004 until a set of unfortunate circumstances disrupted the plans.

Myers started all of 2004 at right tackle for the Hurricanes, while Winston, largely considered one of the best linemen in the country at the time, started at left tackle to begin his junior season.

Butler started the season with an injury and did not play until the fourth game of the year. In that same game, against Georgia Tech, Winston’s season ended with an ACL injury. Butler ended up start-ing the rest of the 2004 season at left tackle.

Myers graduated the following spring, ending for certain any chance of the trio starting together. When the three former Hurricanes started against Dallas on Week 3, it was a moment six years in the making.

TEXANS OFFENSIVE NOTES

What started as a half-hearted self-promotion campaign via Twitter is now gaining steam through local media.

Texans FB Vonta Leach started the Send Leach To The Beach campaign on Twitter at vleach44 and the catchy slo-gan coupled with some of the best play of

his career may get him to his first Pro Bowl. Leach has been the lead blocker for many of RB Arian

Foster’s NFL-best 1,004 yards rushing this season. He also has eight receptions for 91 yards and five tackles on spe-cial teams.

His performance in helping Foster set a team rushing record against Indianapolis didn’t go unnoticed by head coach Gary Kubiak.

“He was voted co-MVP of the game,” Kubiak said on Monday. “That’ll tell you how he played. With him and Ari-an together, it was the best I’ve seen Vonta play and I’ve seen him play some dang good games...He kind of makes us go when he’s playing that way, physical on the isola-tions and those types of things. It kind of gets us going. He is the personality to help our team get going. Among many guys, it was an excellent performance on his part.”

LEACH TO THE BEACH!

LeachThe Texans closed out September with a loss, but ended

up having the most-successful season-opening month on offense in the team’s history.

Houston averaged more gross yards passing (281.7), rushing yards (146.3) and total offense (407.0) than in any other opening month in team history.

TE Joel Dreessen has been praised for his work ethic and blue collar hustle and attitude by his coaches and teammates throughout his career. But the fifth-year veteran out of Colorado State has blos-somed into a solid option in the passing game as a receiver and has put together

back-to-back career seasons.Dreesen has set career highs in 2010 with 27 receptions

for 399 yards receiving and four touchdowns. In Week 11 against the Jets, Dreessen became just the second Tex-ans tight end to have more than 100 yards receiving in a game, catching four passes for a team best 106 yards and a touchdown.

TEXANS DEFENSE

Houston’s defense in 2010 continues to search for the week-to-week improvement it showed in 2009. From Week 4 onward last year, Frank Bush’s group ranked fourth in the league in total defense and ninth in scoring defense after ranking last in the league the first three weeks.

The defense has shown improvement over the last two weeks, including arguably the best defensive perfor-mance in franchise history in Week 12 vs. Tennessee (11/28), pitching a shutout in a 20-0 win.

One of the biggest keys to any successful defense is a strong group of leaders. Following the loss of MLB DeM-eco Ryans, who is referred to by his teammates as ‘Cap-tain,’ the burden of leadership on defense falls to fellow 2006 draft pick Mario Williams and a pair of second-year Texans, DE Antonio Smith and SS Bernard Pollard.

Williams, the top pick in the 2006 Draft, is one of the pre-mier pass rushers in the NFL and has 48.0 career sacks to his name. The addition of Smith to the defensive line in 2009 helped Houston put more pressure on the quarter-back. Smith, who is second on the team with 3.0 sacks this year, often slides inside on passing downs.

On the inside, the combination of fourth-year DT Amobi Okoye and free agent DT Shaun Cody helped the Texans tie for 10th in rushing defense a year ago. This year’s group has actually improved over last season and is tied for 10th against the run through 12 games.

At linebacker, fourth-year WLB Zac Diles has developed into one of the biggest steals of the 2007 draft class. Diles has started at both outside linebacker positions in his career and is second on the team in tackles with 73 total stops.

2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing made his return to the field in Week 5 against the New York Giants after sitting out the first four games. Cushing led the team with 133 tackles last year and had four sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. After bounc-ing from SLB to MLB and back, he has begun to settle in and recapture the playmaking form he showed a year ago.

The secondary is led by Pollard, who quickly became the emotional leader of the defense last year. Pollard added a physical presence on the back end after signing with the Texans in Week 3 of 2009. Pollard is the team’s leading tackler in 2010 with 90 stops through 12 games.

The Texans coaches entrusted the coverage responsi-bility to a young, but talented, group of cornerbacks this year. Glover Quin has the most experience of the group with 24 starts to his name. Quin picked up the first three interceptions of his career in the same game vs. Tennes-see (11/28). Rookie first-round draft pick Kareem Jackson mans the opposite side of the field. The former Alabama star has fought through some growing pains but has played better with each passing week and is tied for sec-ond on the team with two interceptions.

DEFENSIVE OVERVIEW

DEFENSIVE ENDSLeading the way on the defensive line once again is Ma-

rio Williams, who earned his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl in 2009. Williams has 8.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 19 quarterback hits, a forced fumble and two passes defensed this year. Williams is the franchise’s career sack leader with 48.0.

Williams has more help than ever when it comes to rush-ing the passer this year, thanks in large part to Antonio Smith, who joined the Texans as a free agent last year after helping the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII. Smith is a physical end who has played well so far this season with 3.0 sacks, including a career-high 2.0 in Week 4 at Oakland.

Mark Anderson joined the Texans in Week 4 and picked up his first sack as a Texan in Week 8 at Indianapolis (11/1). Anderson has recorded 22.5 career sacks, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He is tied for third on the team this year with 2.0 sacks thus far.

The Texans brought Tim Jamison back into the fold in Week 9 after releasing him earlier in the season. Jamison has played in 11 games over the last two seasons and brings speed off the edge in pass rush situations.

Jesse Nading, who made the opening-day roster for the first time this season, is the primary backup at both end positions and often comes on in passing situations when Smith moves to tackle. Nading picked up his first career sack in the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), team-ing with Williams to sack Colts QB Peyton Manning late in the game.

DEFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION

DE Antonio Smith recorded 4.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan in 2009.


TEXANS DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

DEFENSIVE TACKLESDefensive tackle Amobi Okoye bounced back from a dis-

appointing second season and became a more consistent contributor in 2009, setting a career high with 38 tackles, including 26 solo stops, and added 1.5 sacks. Okoye leads all Texans defensive linemen with 36 tackles this year, in-cluding 2.0 sacks.

Houston bolstered the interior of the line last year by signing Shaun Cody away from Detroit as a free agent, and it proved to be a wise decision. Cody recorded 21 tackles, including 12 solo stops, and 0.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan, helping the defense become one of the league’s most stout against the run. He has already topped last year’s tackle numbers, notching 29 tackles through the season’s first 12 games.

The Texans bolstered their line in the 2010 NFL Draft, se-lecting Arizona’s Earl Mitchell in the third round. Mitchell-has quickly developed a reputation as a player with a high motor, registering 20 tackles through 12 games.

During the bye week, Houston signed free agent DT Da-mione Lewis, who spent the last four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. The Sulphur Springs, Texas native picked up his first sack as a Texan in Week 11 at the New York Jets, giving him 23.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in his 10-year career.

LINEBACKERSThe Texans linebacking corps took a major hit with the

loss of fifth-year MLB DeMeco Ryans in Week 6. Ryans is the captain and unquestioned leader of the defense, and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. He became the first player in franchise history to record 500 career tackles in Week 15 of 2009 and has reg-istered 10 or more tackles in 26 of his 69 career games.

The defense received an emotional boost in Week 5 with the return of Brian Cushing, who missed the first four games due to suspension. Cushing started every game his rookie season and finished second in the AFC with a team-leading 133 tackles. In the immediate wake of Ryans’ injury, Cushing was responsible for calling the defensive plays in the huddle and keeping his teammates organized on the field during a two-game stint at MLB. He is now back to his natural SLB position.

WLB Zac Diles rebounded from a broken leg that ended his 2008 campaign to play in all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2009 and finished last year with 61 tackles, including 45 solo stops, and seven tackles for loss. Diles has put together a solid season, establishing a career high with 73 tackles through the team’s first 12 games, though he has been hampered recently by injuries.

Special teams standout and ninth-year veteran Kevin Bentley stepped into the starting role at MLB when Cush-ing returned to his natural SLB position following a brief trial inside. Bentley has played tremendously since enter-ing the starting lineup, totaling 28 tackles in the last five weeks. He had a standout game in Week 11 at the New York Jets (11/21) with eight tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery.

Bentley’s teammates elected him a special teams cap-tain each of the last two years. He led the team in special teams tackles each of the previous two seasons.

New to the Texans is fourth-round draft pick Darryl Sharpton. Sharpton is capable of playing any of the three linebacker positions and made his first career start at WLB in Week 11 at the New York Jets.

The player who filled in during Cushing’s place was third-year linebacker Xavier Adibi. Adibi played in all 16 games in a reserve role last year and finished with three total tackles. He started three of the first four games and has registered 11 tackles in total this season.

Houston signed third-year pro Stanford Keglar in Week 8 following the loss of Ryans. An Indianapolis native, Keglar made his Texans debut against the Colts on November 1. He has played in 27 games in his three-year career. Keglar made a big play early in Week 9 vs. San Diego (11/7), tip-ping a punt deep in Chargers territory which quickly re-sulted a Texans touchdown.

DT Amobi Okoye leads all Texans defensive linemen with 36 tackles this season.


DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

CORNERBACKSThe Texans have one of the youngest starting corner-

back duos in the NFL this season with second-year man Glover Quin and rookie Kareem Jackson manning the two starting positions.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2009, Quin is third on the team with 63 tackles and has a team-high 12 passes defensed in his sophomore campaign. Quin picked off the first three passes of his career in Week 12 vs. Tennessee (11/28).

The Texans selected Jackson in the first round with the 20th overall selection following his junior season with 2009 BCS National Champion Alabama. Jackson is tied for sec-ond on the team with two interceptions on the season.

Houston claimed veteran corner Jason Allen on No-vember 11 off waivers to bolster the secondary. Allen has played in 74 games with 19 starts in five years, all with the Miami Dolphins until joining the Texans. He has nine ca-reer interceptions, including four this season.

Another rookie from a year ago, Brice McCain, a sixth-round draft pick in 2009, played a vital role in the team’s pass defense. He moved into the nickel cornerback role in his second year and has registered 22 tackles and two passes defensed in 11 games.

The Texans also selected Northwestern University CB Sherrick McManis in the fifth round of the draft. McMa-nis has shined in limited playing time thus far this season, making his first career interception in Week 5 against the New York Giants.

Antwaun Molden excelled on special teams as a rookie in 2008 but has seen each of his first two seasons cut short by injury. Molden has played in 26 games and was select-ed to USA Today’s All-Joe Team in 2008.

SAFETIESBernard Pollard joined the Texans as a free agent in the

third week of 2009 and finished third on the team with a career-high 102 tackles and tied for the team lead with four interceptions to go along with 1.5 sacks. Pollard’s in-tense, fiery playing style has rubbed off on his teammates, who elected him as a defensive co-captain this year. He leads the team with 90 tackles through 12 games this sea-son and he picked up his first sack of the season in Week 13 at Philadelphia (12/2).

Veteran FS Eugene Wilson fought through a knee injury suffered in a 2009 preseason game for nine games before before a foot injury ended his season prematurely. Wilson has recorded 45 tackles and three passes defensed this season.

Troy Nolan, who was taken in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Texans, missed his entire rookie season due to a broken arm suffered in the first preseason game of last season. Nolan saw his first extended playing time in Week 4 at Oakland (10/3) and responded with two inter-ceptions and four tackles. He made his first career start a week later against the New York Giants (10/10) and made a career-high seven tackles.

CB Glover Quin had a franchise-record three intercep-tions in Week 12 vs. Tennessee.

SS Bernard Pollard leads the team with 90 tackles through 12 games this season.


MARIO WILLIAMS NOTES

Mario Williams has been at his most dangerous at Reli-ant Stadium over the last five seasons. Williams has 28.5 sacks in 38 career home games. In 38 career games on the road, Williams has 19.5 sacks. Williams has also forced seven fumbles at home as compared to three on the road, and two of his three career fumble recoveries have come in Houston.

SUPER MARIO

Mario Williams is one of the most disruptive pass rush-ers in the NFL, with 43.5 sacks over the last four seasons. What makes Williams special is that he is also one of the best defensive ends in the NFL against the run. His 19.5 tackles for loss since 2007 are the second-most by an AFC defensive lineman.

Williams’ 63.0 total negative plays (sacks and tackles for loss) since 2007 lead all AFC defensive linemen and are the fifth-most in the NFL.

GETTING INTO THE BACKFIELD

Woody Allen famously said that “80 percent of success is just showing up.” That axiom bodes well for Mario Wil-liams, if his career to date is any indication.

Williams is the only player from the 2006 draft class who has started all 76 games since the start of that season. Only three other players from that class have played in every game.

DEFENSE NOTES

Houston’s secondary has been one of the most scruti-nized and sternly tested units in the NFL to start the sea-son. Through Week 13, Houston is 32nd against the pass, giving up 287.4 yards per game through the air.

The Texans starting cornerback duo still have the second-least experience of any starting tandem in the league. Only New England’s duo of second-year vet Kyle Arrington and rookie Devin McCourty have less experi-ence, and the Patriots rank 31st in pass defense.

HOUSTON’S KIDDIE CORNERS

Kareem Jackson has received more than his share of criticism during the first season of his young career as the Texans defense has struggled to stop opposing passing attacks.

According to STATS, LLC, Jackson had 71 passes thrown in his direction through Houston’s first 11 games and yield-ed 36 completions, for a 50.7 percent completion rate. That is the best among Texans cornerbacks so far this season.

Jackson’s completion percentage allowed compares favorably to the performance of some of the game’s top cover men during their first year as a starter, including 2009 All-Pro corners Charles Woodson and Darrelle Re-vis.

KAREEM IN CONTEXT

“I think you have to be thrown in the fire and you have to have those rough plays because those are the plays you learn from. If he sticks with it and continues to work hard he’ll start to see it turn around at some point because it always does. It’s just a matter of being patient.

“As a rookie, I didn’t play much. I played special teams. In my second year I played safety. I went through those rough patches, but I had more rough patches in my third year because that’s when I really started to play corner. This guy has the benefit of playing corner as a rookie. He’s going to be able to improve a lot sooner than I was able to.”- Oakland Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha on Kareem

Jackson, September 29, 2010

CB Glover Quin went through quite a rough two weeks, first inadvertently batting a Hail Mary pass into the arms of a Jacksonville receiver in Week 10, then giving up the game-winning touchdown pass in the waning seconds in Week 11.

Quin’s perserverence was rewarded against Tennessee (11/28), though, when he recorded his first career inter-ception. And his second. And his third.

Quin’s three interceptions were the most in a game in Texans history and he became the seventh Texans de-fender to record multiple interceptions in a game.

THE MIGHTY QUIN


One of the bright spots in Houston’s 30-27 loss at the New York Jets in Week 11 was the play of MLB Kevin Bentley. The ninth-year pro out of Northwestern led the team with a season-high eight tack-les in his third start of the year.

Bentley also made the two biggest de-fensive plays of the game, recovering a fumble and pick-ing off a pass in the fourth quarter to help spur the Texans’ furious rally.

Bentley became just the fourth Texans player to register a fumble recovery and an interception in the same game.

DEFENSE NOTES

DILES IS DYNAMITE

In Houston’s Week 10 loss at Jackson-ville (11/14), fourth-year LB Zac Diles fin-ished third on the team with eight tack-les, including seven solo stops. For Diles, a seventh-round pick in 2007, the strong performance was the continuation of a trend.

Diles won the starting job at SLB in his second season and was leading the team with 66 tackles through eight games before a broken leg derailed his year. In 2009, Diles won the starting WLB job and put together another strong year, finishing with 61 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Through 11 team games this season, he is again second on the team with a career-high 73 tackles, including 53 solo tackles.

Diles missed Houston’s Week 11 game at the New York Jets (11/21) due to illness but returned to the field the fol-lowing week.

TOUGH SLEDDING ON DEFENSE

The Texans defense has given up some big numbers through the first 12 games of the year, but a look at who Houston has played shows that those numbers should not be all that surprising.

Eight of Houston’s first 12 opponents are currently ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in total offense, with an aver-age ranking of 10.3. That is the second-toughest slate for any defense in the league to date.

One of the many bright spots in Hous-ton’s 20-0 win over Tennessee last Sun-day was the play of second-year line-backer Brian Cushing.

The 2009 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year missed the first four games of the season due to suspension, and was then

shifted to MLB shortly after his return to the field.The combination of those factors appeared to slow Cush-

ing’s return to the dominant form he showed as a rookie, but if the Tennessee game is any indication, he may be back on track.

Cushing led the team with seven tackles, including six solos, and made four of his stops behind the line of scrim-mage. Cushing is quickly climbing the team’s tackle chart, currently ranking sixth on the squad with 53 total stops.

Cushing’s five tackles for loss this season are already the third-most on the team behind only Pro Bowl DE Ma-rio Williams (9) and DT Amobi Okoye (6).

NOTHING TO GAIN

Houston’s defensive performance against Tennessee was one of the best in franchise history. The strong show-ing had a profound effect on the Texans’ league ranking in a number of defensive categories.

After holding the Titans to a mere 162 total yards, Hous-ton’s defense jumped from 31st in the NFL to 28th, shaving an impressive 22.4 yards per game off its season average. The Texans jumped eight spots in rushing defense after holding the Titans to a mere 24 yards on the ground.

Houston’s pass defense, which had been on track to become the most generous in NFL history at 301.0 yards per game, moved out of the league cellar after holding the Titans to 138 net passing yards.

Three interceptions against the Titans boosted Hous-ton’s turnover margin from -2 to +1, moving the Texans up to 13th in the league, while the shutout victory improved the team’s standing four spots, from a tie for 30th to 26th.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADEDEFENSE’S DOMINANT DAY

The Houston defense has faced heavy criticism through-out much of the season, giving up an average of 408.8 yards per game coming into the Week 12 game vs. Ten-nessee (11/28), including a league-worst 301.0 per game through the air. The Texans turned things around in a big way against the Titans, though.

Most importantly, the Texans shut out the Titans in a 20-0 victory. The shutout was just the second in Texans history and the first under head coach Gary Kubiak.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

K Neil Rackers became just the second kicker in Texans history following training camp, when he won the tightest battle of training camp and took over the kicking duties formerly held by Kris Brown for the last eight seasons.

Rackers is 19-of-21 (90.5 percent) on field goal attempts, including the game-winner in overtime at Washington (9/19). He is also a perfect 33-of-33 on point after attempts this year, meaning he has connected on 96.3 percent of his kicks this season.

P Matt Turk has averaged 42.4 yards per punt in his ca-reer and has averaged better than 41 yards per attempt in all but one season. Only 422 of Turk’s 1,085 career punts (38.9 percent) have been returned. This season, Turk is av-eraging 42.4 yards per punt.

WR Jacoby Jones holds the Texans career record for punt return average at 10.3 yards per return over the last three seasons. He tied the Texans career record for total returns for touchdown when he scored the third of his ca-reer in 2009. Jones has taken on kickoff return duties this season as well and is averaging 21.5 yards per return on 23 returns.

SPECIAL TEAMS OVERVIEW

KICKERNeil Rackers has made 224-of-283 career field goal at-

tempts (79.2 percent) and converted 323-of-328 career extra points attempts (98.5 percent), giving him 995 total career points in 11 NFL seasons. Rackers set an NFL re-cord for most field goals made in a season in 2005, when he went 40-of-42 (95.2 percent) with the Arizona Cardinals. His 995 career points puts him in 44th place all-time among kickers.

PUNTERMatt Turk averaged a franchise-record 42.8 yards per

punt in 2009, besting his own mark of 42.3 yards per punt in 2008. Turk has broken the team record in each of the last three seasons and is playing in his 15th NFL season.

LONG SNAPPERJon Weeks signed with the Texans during the offseason

and has handled every snap this season. Weeks has been accurate on all 102 deep snaps (48 punts, 54 field goals and extra points).

RETURNERSWR Jacoby Jones is averaging 7.2 yards per punt return

on 19 punt returns and is averaging 21.5 yards on 23 kick returns this season. RB Steve Slaton has averaged 19.0 yards on 27 kickoff returns.

SPECIAL TEAMS POSITION-BY-POSITION

Texans P Matt Turk has been consis-tently excellent throughout his career, which should be no surprise when dis-cussing a man playing his 15th season in the NFL.

Turk has broken the Texans single-season record for gross punting average

in each of his first three seasons with the team. His aver-age of 42.4 yards per punt this season would be second only to last year’s average of 42.8.

GETTING BETTER WITH AGE

Texans LS Jon Weeks’ route to the NFL was, in a word, circuitous. A self-de-scribed “military brat,” Weeks was born in Bethpage, New York and graduated from high school in Glendale, Arizona.

As a senior at Mountain Ridge High, Weeks attended a special teams camp,

where he caught the eye of the coaches from Baylor Uni-versity. He walked on at Baylor as a long snapper and eventually earned a scholarship.

After college, Weeks volunteered at a hospital and be-gan a nine-week certication program to become a fire-fighter. Taking one last stab at his football dreams, he attended coach Gary Zauner’s specialists combine. There he caught the attention of a Texans scout. The Texans in-vited Weeks for a tryout and signed him the following day, and Weeks won his roster spot during training camp.

Texans K Neil Rackers moved into 50th place on the NFL’s all-time scoring list among kickers with his 12-point effort at Washington (9/19).

After his six-point effort in Houston’s Week 13 game at Philadelphia (12/2), Rackers has 995 career points in 11 seasons, which puts him in 44th all-time. He needs five points to reach 1,000 for his career.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

Texans K Neil Rackers has amassed 44 tackles on spe-cial teams throughout his 11-year career to rank first among NFL kickers since STATS, LLC started tracking special teams tackles in 1994. He ranks fifth on the Tex-ans this season with seven special teams tackles, includ-ing one in Houston’s 20-0 win vs. Tennessee in Week 12 (11/28).

Head coach Gary Kubiak commented on Rackers’ style earlier in the season: “It scares you, but you don’t want to take that away from him,” Kubiak said. “He likes to go down there. He will make a tackle. You don’t want to lose him, but I think that’s what makes him tick. He likes being a part of that. He likes getting pushed around a bit and showing his teammates he’ll go down there and make a tackle.”

Rackers is tied for the team lead with 90 points and is 19-for-21 on field goals this season.

RACK-ING UP THE TACKLES

Neil Rackers drilled a 35-yard field goal with 3:24 left in overtime to deliver the Texans’ first-ever win in extra time. It was his third career overtime game-winner and his first since 12/23/07 vs. Atlanta, when he made a 31-yarder to help Arizona beat the Falcons. Rackers is 3-of-4 in his ca-reer in overtime.
