| (MySportsbook) - Following a theme that has prevailed throughout their eight- year history, the Houston Texans simply refuse to do things the easy way. On a day in which they gutted out a 31-10 road victory over a hard-nosed Buffalo Bills team to finish the first half of a season above .500 for the first time ever, the Texans (5-3) had their enthusiasm tempered by a couple of disconcerting elements.

| (MySportsbook) - In the shadow of their 11-5, AFC East-winning campaign, the Miami Dolphins' 3-4 start to the 2009 season comes off as something of a disappointment. With a win over the sinking ship that is the Buffalo Bills, and two over the New York Jets and their rookie quarterback and head coach, there isn't much for Fins fans to hang onto to suggest the arrow is pointing up for this team. Which is why Sunday's trip to meet the New England Patriots is so extraordinarily important for Tony Sparano and |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -The Buffalo Bills expect to promote James Hardy to their active roster because the second-year receiver has shown he's fully recovered 10 months after having left knee surgery. Barring ``something unexpected,'' coach Dick Jauron said Monday he's leaning toward promoting Hardy, who spent the first six weeks on the physically unable to perform list. The 2008 second-round draft pick out of Indiana began practicing two weeks ago. The Bills (3-5) enter their bye and have until the |

And Slaton could be there next week at Indianapolis too, because understudy Ryan Moats made the most of his opportunity with 23 carries, 126 yards and three touchdowns ag |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Texans tight end Owen Daniels sprained his right knee in the first quarter of Houston's game at the Buffalo Bills. Daniels was hurt during Houston's second possession Sunday. It's unclear how he was hurt, the player going down near the line of scrimmage before Matt Schaub underthrew a pass intended for Kevin Walter. Daniels lay on the field for several minutes before being helped up by trainers. He was unable to put much weight on his right leg as he was escorted to the sideli |

| Orchard Park, NY (MySportsbook) - Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston due to lingering effects from a concussion suffered in a Week 6 victory over the Jets. The injury opens the door for backup Ryan Fitzpatrick to start against the Texans. For the season, Edwards is 91-of-153 passing for 985 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions. Also inactive for the Bills on Sunday are tackle Jonathan Scott, tight end Shawn Nelson, defensive tackle Kyle Willia |

It didn't come without a price, however, as versatile Leon Washington was lost for the season with a gruesome compound fracture of the right leg. Greene, a rookie from Iowa, figures to see consistently increased playing time, while the Jets signed |

| Orchard Park, NY (MySportsbook) - Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards practiced on Friday in a limited role, but will not see the field for the team's home game against Houston on Sunday as he is still recovering from a concussion. Edwards missed last Sunday's contest against Carolina after suffering the head injury during a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets on October 18. Ryan Fitzpatrick was under center for the 20-9 victory in Charlotte and will get the start again this week. In addition to E |
