I agree with that, now let's just hope we don't jinx him.

If you're in the Houston area and the Texans win this game, you may want to keep it on CBS after the game and root for the Eagles to beat the Broncos.....

Dolphins win the flip and defer - Texans to receive.

JJ brings the kickoff back to the 24.

Pass to AJ good for 13.

AJ catches the WR screen and turns it into 25. Flag on the play - offsides defense declined. Ball at the Dolphin 38.

Foster for about 4.

Foster for about 3 more. Brings up 3rd and 4.

Flip pass to C Brown only gets 1. Texans to go for the FG.

49 yard attempt is good!

Texans 3, Dolphins 0

Chris Brown did a good job getting the ball back into FG range. Texans take the early lead but they squandered a good opportunity by running the ball twice and leaving a predictable third down situation.

Steelers intercept Flacco. Winds up with a Jeff Reed FG - PIT 3, BAL 0.

Texans 10, Dolphins 0

HELLZ YEAH

Angry Dre!

[HPF Bob]

Nice start, guys.

Miracle update: Pats stuff MJ-D on 4th and 1 , take over at Jax 35. Ravens now in the red zone.

Brady to Moss - TD - - NE 7, Jax 0
Ravens FG - Bal 3, Pit 3.

If these scores hold, we vault into second place in the AFC South.

Questionable play call on third down running east-west, beautiful play call on fourth down with a quick slant to the best receiver in the league. Beautifully led ball, perfect play call. I'd rather have seen that on third down, but I'll happily take in on fourth down. How about a TO here?

[Arky]

Ginn brings the kickoff back to the 20.

R Williams for 8.

R Williams for 1. Brings up 3rd and 1.

Henne's pass goes inc. Good pressure from A Smith. Dolphins to punt.

JJ brings the punt back to the Texan 20. Flag on the play. Two fouls. Illegal block and personal foul on Texans. PF is accepted = 15 yards.

[Arky]

Dolphins bring the kickoff back to the 24.

Pass to Best good for 6.

R Williams for about 5 and a 1st down.

R Williams TFL -4 by DeMeco.

Pass to Fasano good for 8. Brings up 3rd and 6.

Henne's pass good for the 1st down.

R Williams TFL -1 by DeMeco.

Short pass goes for 4. Brings up 3rd and 6.

Henne's 3rd down pass goes inc. Dolphins to punt on 4th down.

Punt goes into the endzone. Texans ball at the 20.

[Keith]

Ok, this is a decent start... need four quarters today, boys.

I liked seeing Dunta trying to rip that ball away from the receiver. Seemed like a possible replay sitch, but Kubiak kept the flag in his pocket.

DeMeco is on fire.
