| Houston, TX (MySportsbook) - Arian Foster rushed five times for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the Houston Texans' 27-14 preseason victory over the New Orleans Saints. Ben Tate ran nine times for 95 yards and a score against the Saints' oft- porous run defense. Foster capped the Texan's seven-play, 72-yard opening drive with a two-yard touchdown run. Andre Johnson reeled in a 48-yard pass from Matt Schaub to begin Houston's second possession and Foster ended it with a 28-yard touchdown run. Schaub played u |

I can only speak for myself,'' said one of those implicated, Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson. ``I don't really know what it is he alluded to.'' Shapiro's lifestyle began unraveling a couple years ago, when the money started running dry and investors began thinking they'd been had. He never paid for the lounge. He st |

| eam for their star power, big-market appeal and the bombastic shtick of ever-quotable head coach Rex Ryan, it may have been easy to forget there was another team also competing in the game. And a pretty good one, by the way. For three years now, the Houston Texans have been hailed as an up-and-comer, a team seemingly on the cusp of escaping out of the wallows of mediocrity that it's been engulfed in throughout nine seasons of existence. The refrain has been a familiar one for the NFL's youngest franchise: jus |

"I was given a great opportunity to come back here. That took some of the weight off my shoulders for that decision. |

HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Texans defensive backs coach Vance Joseph tries to find something positive on every practice snap, even if one of his players is beaten on a route. Joseph may have the biggest challenge of any position coach on the staff - fixing a secondary that ranked as the league's worst in 2010. The Texans allowed 267.5 yards passing per game and 33 touchdown passes last season. They picked up free agents Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning to bring experience and leadership to a group that |
