Talk about one of the wildest games we have seen the Houston Texans involved in, but this shootout was one that Texans’ fans can be proud of. It provided 640 yards of offense for the Texans and a game for the franchise history book for Andre Johnson. The defense had another off day but provided enough stops in overtime to put together a win to push the Texans’ record to 9-1.     The Rundown - The Texans were the first team in NFL history to post two scores in an overtime game.
