Week 1
Texans-48
Jets-31
Overview: The Houston Offense rolled over the Jets in an easy win. However, the Texans D showed that they are very soft against the pass.
After leading 31-10 in the first half the Texans began to play more conservatively in the 3rd quarter. Jake Delhomme led his offense up and down the field on 3 straight drives and passed for over 200 yards in that span. The game was now tied.
Houston picked up their game and scored on the first possession of the 4th quarter(49 yd pass to Marion Barber). Delhomme got the ball back, but was pressured on his first pass and threw up a floater straight into the hands of Asante Samuel. Houston then scored with a 12 yd pass to Chris Cooley.
Houston's D stepped up big and forced a three and out that led to a Houston FG on the ensuing possession. Delhomme had one last chance but was sacked on 4th and 3 by DE Jacob Ford. Houston ran out the final minute to come away with a victory.
Houston got pressure on Delhomme and brought him down 4 times and only allowed 41 yards rushing despite Edgerrin running for 45 yards. Asante Samuel was the only bright spot on the pass D that allowed 400 yards, by holding Houshmanzadeh to 1 catch for 6 yards( The other two catches and the TD were against CB Ronald Bartell)
