Is it me or has Tate been looking a step quicker than Foster?

I think they're both pretty quick today.

It's nice to have a run game again.

Mariani brings the kickoff back to the Titan 9. Nice tackle by Keo.

Flags presnap. False start Titans, half the distance. Ball at the 5, 1st and 15.

Flags again. Neutral zone infraction on Watt, 5 yards. 1st and 9.

Pass to Williams good for 5. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Oh man, CJ fumbles but recovers his own fumble. Gain of 1. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Neutral zone infraction on Barwin gives the Titans a 1st down. Ball at the Titan 21.

End of the 1st quarter.

Pass to CJ in the flat goes for 17 and a 1st down.

CJ for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Deep pass to a wide open Washington is brought back due to offensive PI on Williams. Makes it 2nd and 19 at the Titan 31.

Dump to Stevens gets 10. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Pass to Washington gets 10 and a 1st down.

Deep pass is INT'ed by Manning at the Texan 13! Texans ball. Manning injured on the play.

It is beyond me how the defense, which was supposed to be our weak point, is playing SOOOOOO much better than the offense...

[WMH]

Seeing Manning on the cart makes me very sad.

@HoustonTexans - Texans S Danieal Manning is questionable to return with a lower left leg injury. #GoTexans

Nolan's got to step up...

[Arky]

Deep pass to OD goes for 34. Ball at the Texan 46.

Foster for about 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Foster for 10 and a 1st down.

Tate gets 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

Dump off to OD gets 10 but flag on the play. Roughness on Titans puts the ball at the Titan 12.

Foster goes right side for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Timeout Texans with 8:07 left in the half.

[Arky]

On 2nd and 9, Schaub's pass to Dreessen goes for the TD!

Texans 10, Titans 0

7:24 left in the half.

[Big Texas]

Wow...I do believe that that was the first time I have ever seen a play Kubiak called out of a timeout actually be successful.

Finally the Offense takes advantage of the defensive play thus far...

I am curious about our safety play now though....

[TheMatrix31]

Can't believe this injury luck we have.

[TheMatrix31]

Thank GOD, about TIME we use Foster in the receiving game like this. How long has this punk Cali kid been saying it?

When Schaub went back across the field I knew the receiver would be open. We've seen that same play twice before this year by my count. I expected to see Dreessen or maybe OD. It's funny. I knew the play would work and I knew it would be at the very least a big gain. What I was excited to see was who the play was designed for this time. As the camera panned over I was very surprised to see Arian drifting over preparing to make the catch. I thought, Good, it's Arian rather than Dreessen, maybe he'll get another ten yards out of the thing.
