Texans Get Punched, Kicked & Laughed At

Now that was a kick in the tastefully faded and crisply ironed Levis, wasn't it? The Steelers averaged 7.1 yards per play in the first half. The Texans averaged 3 yards per play.

Matt Schaub threw two interceptions and put a third pass in the hands of a Pittsburgh defender. Gary Kubiak took a gamble early by going for it on fourth down.

I liked the gamble because it sent a message of confidence in his players. However, the play was stuffed and the Steelers had a short field for their first possession.

Now that they needed a short field. The Steelers ran up a 21-0 lead on their first three possessions.

We pause amid the negative for a word about Mario Williams. He played like the NFL's best defensive player.

He has little help along the defensive front, but he's doing his part and then some. His second sack of the half forced a fumble and put the Texans in position for their only score of the half.

Now what? That's easy. Keep going. When someone asked Mike Sherman that last week, he said: ''This is what we do.''

Indeed it is. The Texans weren't supposed to win this game. They weren't supposed to be embarrassed either.

At halftime, they've been embarrassed. Now the key is to gather themselves and keep it respectable in the second half.

The Texans have gotten virtually nothing from Ahman Green. Bet they wish they had that wasted $9 million back. Coaches didn't expect much, either.

He was used in a lot of third down situations as the blocking back and release receiver on dump-offs.
