Texans Superlatives, Cowboys Meltdown, Classic Videos

How impressive are the Texans? Let's see where they rank in the NFL.
- #1 offense (32 points per game)
- #1 offense (440.5 yards per game)
- #1 rushing team (157.5 yards per game)
- #1 rusher (Arian Foster, 300 yards)
- #2 rushing defense (31 yards per game)

Other interesting superlatives, notes.

- Andre Johnson had 12 catches for 158 yards and a TD. It was his 32nd career 100-yard game & 14th career game with 10 or more catches & 100 or more yards. Johnson’s 14 career 10-catch, 100-yard games is the second-most in NFL history, one shy of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s total of 15.

- Johnson reached 600 career receptions on a 29-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He is the 50th player in NFL history to reach 600 receptions.

- The Houston defense held Washington to a franchise-record-low 18 rushing yards.

=============================
From the headlines in Tuesday's Dallas Morning News, it's pretty obvious the Cowboys are gripping.

- With Wade Phillips in charge, a comeback like '07 Giants is unlikely
- Cowboys hold players-only meeting; Wade Phillips: 'I don't mind at all'
- What's wrong with the Cowboys? Fans give their possible reasons
- Keith Brooking: 'I just don't think we're playing smart football right now'
- When assigning blame, start at the top of the organization

and this from former head coach Jimmy Johnson as the lead story
- Turnovers and penalties have plagued Cowboys for years under Wade Phillips

Please read and enjoy their misery.
==================================
Our Tuesday Top 5 for today is our list of our favorite beards in sports over the years.
My list includes Bruce Sutter & Dave Parker...
I only have limited recollection of this killer commercial for Sprite.


==================================
Number 2 on the list was Dan Fouts so if you missed this session of Fouts mic'ed up I think you'll like it.
