The Texans lost 7-24 SU to the NY Jets. QB Matt Schaub made 18 of 33 passes for 166 yards. RB Steve Slayton had nine carries for a low 17 yards, he is no longer an unknown to defenses and he must figure out how to beat defenses that are focused on stopping him. TE Owen Daniels made four catches for 44 yards. They managed only 38 yards rushing, 145 yards passing and 11 first downs. Texans WR Andre Johnson had a franchise-record 207 receiving yards as the Texans knocked off the Titans, 13-12, on Dec. 14, 2008. Texans RB Steve Slaton has rushed for over 100 yards in both of his starts against the Titans
The Titans lost 10-13 SU to Pittsburgh, but they did put up a great fight. QB Kerry Collins made 22 of 35 passes for 244 yards with one TD. WR Chris Johnson had 15 carries for 57 yards, while rookie WR Kenny Brit made four catches for 85 yards. Tennessee will need WR Kenny Brit to produce similar stats on a weekly basis if it hopes to diversify its offense from being a predominantly run-based attack. Kicker Rob Bironas made only one of his three field-goal attempts for the Titans and he needs to be better. Jevon Kearse has a sack in three straight games vs. the Texans.
