OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -The Houston Texans didn't complete a pass in the second half, finished the game with negative yards passing and somehow found a way to win. That's what happens when you play the Oakland Raiders. Demarcus Faggins scored on a 58-yard fumble return and Houston used two long returns and a pair of fumbles by Randal Williams to set up 16 more points in the second half of a 23-14 victory over Oakland on Sunday. In a season full of ugly losses by the Raiders (2-10), this one gets its ow |

| (MySportsbook) - The dismal offensive performance of the Oakland Raiders demanded a change, and at long last, head coach Art Shell delivered one. On Sunday, when the Houston Texans visit McAfee Coliseum, it will be determined whether that change was for the better. It was Tuesday when Shell demoted offensive coordinator and longtime associate Tom Walsh, replacing him with tight ends coach and former Chicago Bears coordinator John Shoop. Walsh had presided over an attack that currently ranks last in the lea |

| (MySportsbook) - The vultures were circling the North Jersey swamps last weekend. With just more than 6 minutes to go in quarter No. 3 of a tight game with the visiting Houston Texans, the forecasters of gloom and doom for the New York Jets in 2006 seemed mere moments away from their predictable, albeit delayed, reward. As top overall draft pick Mario Williams violently collided with the exposed left side of New York quarterback Chad Pennington and drove his comparatively puny body into the Giants Stadium |

Held sackless for the fourth straight week on Sunday, Vanden Bosch hasn't recorded a sack since posting two in a Week 8 win over the Houston Texans. With injuries to ends Travis LaBoy (concussion), Antwan Odom (knee) and Josh Savage (hamstring), Tennessee does not have the healthy end rotation it had when the season started.

The question remains whether anything will change when John Shoop calls the plays for Oakland (2-9) against the Houston Texans (3-8) on Sunday. ``I think the guys wanted somebody else to be in charge of calling the plays,'' running back LaMont Jordan said. ``I guess you could say we got what we want. Now that puts even more pressure on us as players. ... Because if we don |

HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Texans' running game was dealt a major blow when Domanick Davis was put on the injured reserve before the season. Eleven games into the season, it still hasn't fully recovered. The Texans have had some good games, but have struggled with consistency without Davis, the franchise leading rusher. Two weeks ago, Houston had 188 yards rushing, the second most in team history. They followed it up with just 25 against the New York Jets. Samkon Gado, who has been splitting time with r |

| d to the game-tying touchdown. This Raiders offense is clearly broken and no matter who is in at quarterback is going to have a hard time moving the ball and avoiding mistakes. The offensive line doesn't block well, the running game is nonexistent and the receivers can't get open. Brooks may not be the most effective solution, but he still gives Oakland a better chance of winning than Andrew Walter. UP NEXT The Raiders will have a solid chance at another win next Sunday when they host the 3-8 Houston Texans. |

That was never more evident than with 6:31 left in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-11 win over the Houston Texans. Pennington had just completed an unbelievable pass to Jerricho Cotchery for a first down, as he was getting taken down by Houston lineman Jason Babin. After releasing the ball, he was crushed again by rookie defensive end Mario Williams. Pennington |
