After their 549-yard performance in the 24-21 victory at Green Bay, the Texans improved their average yards per game to 381.5, ranking third in the NFL.
“We’re moving the ball very well,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “To have almost 550 yards in a game, well, I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of one like that. And to do it on the road in that (3 degree) temperature was really special.
“In this league, it boils down to scoring. It doesn’t matter if you have 280 yards. If you can find 30 points, then you have a chance to win. We had tremendous ball movement, but yet we only found 24 (points). It was enough, but we should have put a few more points on the board.”
Better than advertised
The Texans drafted running back Steve Slaton in the third round primarily to come off the bench in passing situations. After rushing for 120 yards against Green Bay, Slaton has 1,024, a 5-yard average per carry and eight touchdowns.
“We knew we were getting a good player,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “We knew we were getting a smart player.
“We expected him to be a third-down player right away, and then because of injuries (to Ahman Green and Chris Taylor), we went with him, and he surprised everybody.”
