Inactive players for the Texans included G Brandon Brooks, CB Roc
Carmichael, T Andrew Gardner, CB Brandon Harris, NT Terrell McClain, RB
Ben Tate and G Cody White.
(on coming out strong after the bye week) "We knew it was going
Michael Crabtree Elite Jersey
to be tough. The first half we had to make some adjustments. They move the ball and score 24 points a
Vernon Davis Jersey
game, so we knew they had a good offense. I thought our guys really
played well in the red zone. We gave up one run in the first half that
was their first run over 20 yards this season. That was my fault. I
didn't think they would run with 22 seconds left, but they did. The guy
made a big play. You have to be pleased overall."
(on if Buffalo's run defense was the same or different than what
was seen on film) "I think they were a little more aggressive than what
they showed on film. Naturally you are going to get some things when a
team comes off of a bye week because they always do self-evaluations,
that is with every team. But I think they were a little more aggressive.
In the first half we did what we need to on the ground and in the
second half we made adjustments and they were a little more disciplined
in what they were doing."
(on his own touchdown catch) "It was great. It was kind of an
unscheduled play. I was able to come from the back of the end zone and
luckily (QB) Matt (Schaub) saw me and I was able to make the catch."
(on the defense stopping Buffalo on third down) "I think we did
well. Obviously I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I feel like
we did well. That's one thing we've been really good on all year, so I
know we got to let a couple get away, but I think overall we did well
today."
(on their 3-5 record) "It's definitely discouraging. It's not
where you want to be, but at the same time we aren't out of this. We
still have got a lot football games left to play. We just have got to
come out here and continue to play hard, show up and continue to put
work in, and hopefully get this thing turned around."
The Packers were in control at halftime behind Rodgers'
touchdown passes of 13 and 21 yards to Randall Cobb and 29 yards to
James Jones.
While guys like Tannehill, Griffin
Vernon Davis Elite Jersey
-- heck even Brandon Weeden, on occasion at least -- continue to impress with
Aldon Smith Jersey
their statistics and athleticism, Luck remains focused on the wins and
losses. Through his first half season in the NFL, Luck has as many wins
as any other first or second-year quarterback -- Christian Ponder also
has five with the Vikings -- and has now outdueled three of those
companions -- Ponder, Tannehill and Weeden. Even more impressive,
though, has been Luck's impact on the Colts. Just one season after
finishing with an NFL worst 2-14 record and going splits-ville with Hall
of Famer Peyton Manning, Luck has Indianapolis back in contention. What
was expected to be a slow and steady return to glory for the Colts'
franchise has become one of the best stories of the year.

Lynch ran for a 3-yard TD in the third quarter, while Wilson
threw TD passes of 11 yards to Sidney Rice, and TDs of 6 and 11 yards to
Golden Tate for the Seahawks (5-4).
Getting booed by Eagles fans and worrying about your job security doesn't seem nearly as bad after that.
Vick himself said this week he needed to get his "swag" back and start playing more aggressively.
And it's beginning to look as if that part of Vick's comeback won't be nearly as successful.
The Titans sacked
Aldon Smith Elite Jersey
Cutler three times and forced one fumble. That set up a 39-yard field
goal by Rob Bironas to pull within 31-5 after three failed attempts
throwing into the end zone _ two nearly picked off by the Bears.
