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 |

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 |

The next step is to show the Texans (4-3) can be counted among the AFC's midseason playoff contenders when they travel to play the Buffalo Bills (3-4) on Sunday. With a win, Houston would be off to its best start in franchise history, extend its win streak to three while continuing to build on the momentum of last year's 5-1 finish to a season undone by a dreadful 0-4 start. ``Well, we def |

The rushing effort marked just the sixth time in NFL history that a team had compiled 300 ground yards on back-to-back weeks, and the first since O.J. Simpson and the Buffalo Bills did so way back in 1975. The Jets hadn't rushed for as many as 200 yards in back-to-back games since 1985. Rex Ryan's team now leads the league in rushing offense (184.9 yards per game) and rushes of 20 yards or longer (11). "I thought our offensive |
