Williams, Slaton lead Texans past Jags 30-17
"Nothing's too big for him," Kubiak said. "To watch him get stronger at the end of the game is impressive." Slaton, Williams and the rest of the Texans were clad in their "Battle Red" uniforms for their first Monday night game. The city of Houston hosted a Monday nighter for the first time since Nov. 21, 1994, when the New York Giants beat the Oilers 13-10 at the Astrodome. Sage Rosenfels, making his fourth consecutive start in place of injured Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, threw for 200 yards and a score with an interception. Williams, who has 11 sacks this season, thrived once again in the prime-time spotlight. In his only other night game, a Thursday night matchup against Denver last season, he finished with 3? sacks. "The scene was set," Williams said. "There was a lot of intensity. People were saying that we weren't ready for the big stage, analysts or whatever. Come on, now. Anything can happen. As long as we go out there and play ball like we're supposed to, we'll be all right." Houston (5-7) isn't where it hoped to be after finishing 8-8 last year, but is feeling good after two straight wins. Jacksonville (4-8), a playoff team last season, has lost five of six after another lackluster performance.
