ROBERT C. MCNAIR 

Founder, Chairman and 

Chief Executive Officer 

Robert C. McNair is perhaps best known in 

the business community as the founder of 

Cogen Technologies, which was sold in 1999. 

Cogen was the largest privately-owned 

cogeneration company in the world, with 

aggregate capacity of 1,400 megawatts. 

McNair also serves as Chairman and Chief 

Executive Officer of The McNair Group, 

headquartered in Houston, Texas, where 

he oversees an investment portfolio that 

includes interests in two cogeneration 

plants in the eastern 

United States. Mr. 

McNair owns Palmetto 

Partners, Ltd. and RCM 

Financial Services, 

L.P., private investment 

entities that manage 

the McNairs’ public 

and private equity 

investments, and 

is Chairman of the 

McNair Foundation 

and the Houston 

Texans Foundation. 

Committed to bringing a National Football 

League team to Houston, Mr. McNair 

formed Houston NFL Holdings in 1998. On 

October 6, 1999, the NFL announced that 

the 32nd NFL franchise had been awarded 

to Mr. McNair, returning football to the City 

of Houston in the year 2002 and Super Bowl 

XXXVIII in 2004. 

On September 8, 2002, the Houston Texans 

kicked off their Inaugural Season with 

a victory over the Dallas Cowboys, 19 to 

10, in the franchise’s nationally-televised 

season opener. The victory over Dallas 

made Houston the first expansion club 

to win its opening game since the 1961 

Minnesota Vikings. The Texans also won 

at Jacksonville and upset the Giants and 

Steelers, both playoff teams. 

Despite facing a rash of injuries and the 

NFL’s toughest schedule in 2003, the 

Texans posted a 5-11 campaign in their 

second NFL season. And in 2004, the Texans 

continued their steady climb by winning seven 

games. Houston won 

consecutive games 

for the first time 

and earned its first 

sweeps of divisional 

opponents by 

defeating Jacksonville 

and Tennessee twice. 

The Texans’ second 

win over the Jaguars, 

a 21-0 road triumph, 

marked Houston’s 

first shutout win in 

franchise history. 

After the team finished with a disappointing 

2-14 record in 2005, McNair displayed 

courage and conviction by hiring a rookie 

head coach and a first-time general 

manager to build a winning team in Houston. 

Gary Kubiak, a Houston native, was named 

the Texans’ second head coach on January 

26, 2006 after spending the last 11 seasons 

as the offensive coordinator for the 

Denver Broncos. On June 5, 2006, McNair 

introduced Rick Smith as the franchise’s 

second general manager. Smith, who 

followed Kubiak from Denver where he was 

A D M I N I S T R AT I O N 

HOUSTONTEXANS.COM 7


the assistant general manager, became the 

youngest general manager in the NFL at 

age 36. 

Stonerside Stable, a major thoroughbred 

horse farm in Kentucky, is also among 

McNair’s successes. A 1,500-acre 

thoroughbred horse farm and racing stable,

RICK SMITH 

General Manager 

11th NFL Season • 1st with Texans 

One of the keys to success in today’s NFL 

is the ability to identify players who can 

contribute to the team’s success without 

sacrificing the team’s salary cap. While a 

handful of stars may command more attention 

and larger salaries, these “value” players are 

the backbone of any winning team, and finding 

these unsung heroes is one of the primary job 

requirements for a general manager. 

Rick Smith, who becomes the second general 

manager in Houston Texans history, brings 

a highly successful ten-year track record of 

player evaluation with him to his new role, 

including the last six as the director of pro 

personnel for the Denver Broncos before 

being promoted to assistant general manager 

on March 14, 2006. 

Smith is reunited in Houston with Texans 

head coach Gary Kubiak, who was Denver’s 

offensive coordinator for the past 11 seasons. 

As general manager, Smith will oversee all 

aspects of the Texans personnel department, 

working closely with the coaching and 

scouting staffs to evaluate and identify 

potential free agent and trade targets, as well 

as overseeing the annual college draft. 

The 36-year-old Smith becomes the secondyoungest 

personnel chief in the NFL; only San 

Francisco vice president of player personnel 

Scot McCloughan, 34, is younger. Smith also 

becomes the fourth African-American to 

head an NFL personnel department, joining 

Arizona’s Rod Graves, Jacksonville’s James 

Harris, and Baltimore’s Ozzie Newsome. 

In his former role with the Broncos, Smith 

was responsible for evaluating players from 

around the NFL, as well as those in NFL 

Europe, the Canadian Football League, the 

Arena Football League, and other professional 

leagues. He also played a central role in the 

club’s preparation for the college draft and 

was one of the Broncos’ primary negotiators 

for player contracts. 

Under Smith’s guidance, Denver was 

perennially one of the most active teams in the 

NFL free agent market. The player personnel 

department also was extremely successful 

in identifying young talent via the NFL waiver 

system, making key acquisitions and signing 

players who have developed and made 

significant contributions to the team. 

With Smith heading the pro personnel 

department, the Broncos posted the league’s 

fifth-best regular-season record from 2000- 

05, going 61-35 (.635). The 61 wins were the 

most of any AFC West team over that span, ten 

more than the next closest team, Kansas City. 

Not surprisingly, Denver was one of only four 

teams in the NFL to reach the playoffs in each 

of the last three seasons. 

Denver’s 2005 AFC Western Division 

Championship squad featured seven of 

11 defensive starters who were obtained 

either via free agency or trade, as well as 

quarterback Jake Plummer. The defense, 

which finished the year ranked second in the 

NFL in rushing defense and third in scoring 

defense, was anchored by safety John Lynch, 

who was signed as a free agent in 2004, 

cornerback Champ Bailey, acquired in a trade 

with Washington in 2004, and linebacker Ian 

Gold, who rejoined the team in 2005 as a free 

agent. 

The highlight of the 2005 offseason was the 

addition of three defensive linemen from 

Cleveland: end Courtney Brown, a free agent 




signing, and end Michael Myers and tackle 

Gerard Warren, who joined the team via trade. 

While many league observers questioned 

the moves, the three ex-Browns solidified 

the Denver defensive line and helped lead 

the Broncos to a 13-3 record, capturing the 

division title for the first time since 1998 en 

route to the AFC Championship Game. 

In 2004, the addition of Lynch and Bailey 

helped the Bronco defense rank fifth in the AFC 

against the pass as the team made its second 

consecutive playoff appearance. Additionally, 

veteran defensive end Marco Coleman, signed 

as an unrestricted free agent, started every 

game on an injury-riddled defensive line. 

Lynch and Bailey have both earned Pro Bowl 

nods in each of their two seasons in Denver 

since being brought in by Smith, while Plummer 

turned in three of the best years of his career 

since joining the Broncos and was named to 

the Pro Bowl after last season, but elected not 

to play. The three former Browns defensive 

linemen, regarded as disappointments in 

Cleveland, starred in Denver. 

In 2003, Smith played an integral role in 

the Broncos securing their first trip to the 

postseason since 2000. At one point during 

Denver’s playoff run that season, six of the 11 

starters on a defensive unit that ranked fourth 

in the NFL in total defense were players who 

were originally signed as street free agents. 

Before moving into the front office, Smith spent 

four years as the Broncos’ defensive backs 

coach and earned two Super Bowl rings while 

guiding a unit that consistently ranked as one 

of the league’s best. Under Smith’s tutelage, 

the Denver pass defense ranked fourth in the 

NFL in 1996, fifth in ’97, and seventh in ’99. 

The team won more games from 1996-98 (46) 

than any club in NFL history over a three-year 

period. 

In 1999, the Broncos ranked eighth in the NFL 

in pass defense and did not allow an opposing 

quarterback to throw for more than 278 yards 

all season. Denver’s pass defense in 1997 

posted a No. 5 ranking in the NFL and limited 

four of the 16 regular-season opponents to 

three points or fewer, including one shutout. In 

his first year, Smith helped coach a defensive 

unit that improved from No. 15 to No. 4 in 

the NFL, including a No. 1 ranking against 

the run for just the second time in franchise 

history. The defense set or tied three different 

franchise records in 1996. 

Smith joined the Broncos on April 3, 1996, 

following a two-year stint as defensive backs 

coach at his alma mater, Purdue University. He 

left Purdue in February to accept a coaching 

position at TCU but spent just one month at the 

school before being hired by the Broncos. 

A 1992 graduate of Purdue, Smith began 

his coaching career with the Boilermakers 

shortly after his graduation, serving as the 

school’s assistant strength and conditioning 

coordinator as a grad assistant. In that role, 

Smith worked exclusively with football, 

volleyball and wrestling before being promoted 

to the role of interim strength and conditioning 

coordinator during the summer of 1993. After 

serving as the team’s tight ends coach for one 

season, Smith was hired as the secondary 

coach, becoming the youngest position coach 

in the Big Ten Conference at the time at the 

age of 24. 

Smith, born Sept. 3, 1969, was a starter at strong 

safety and defensive captain for Purdue as a 

senior in 1991. A native of Petersburg, Va., he 

attended Meadowdale High School in Dayton, 

Ohio. Smith also is a member of the Fellowship 

of Christian Athletes. 

Smith and his wife, Tiffany, have a son, 

Robert LaMar.

GARY KUBIAK 

Head Coach 


C O A C H E S 

Gary Kubiak returned to his hometown of 

Houston on January 26, 2006, becoming the 

second head coach in the history of the 

Houston Texans, replacing Dom Capers. 

Kubiak spent 20 of the past 23 years in the 

Denver area, where he earned a reputation 

as a brilliant offensive mastermind. He 

played for the Broncos from 1983-91 as the 

backup to Hall of Fame quarterback John 

Elway. Kubiak played in 119 games during 

his career and tossed 14 touchdowns in that 

span. During his time as a player in the Mile 

High City, he was a part of three teams that 

reached the Super Bowl. 

Kubiak began his coaching career in 1992-93 

as the running backs coach at his alma mater 

Texas A&M. Under Kubiak’s watchful eye, 

running back Greg Hill was named second 

team All-America his junior year. Hill was 

selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first 

round of the 1994 draft. 

Kubiak started his NFL coaching career with 

the San Francisco 49ers in 1994. As quarterbacks 

coach, he guided Hall of Famer Steve 

Young to his best season as a pro. Young 

was named the NFL MVP for the second time 

in his career. 

Under Kubiak’s tutelage, Young had a careerhigh 

70.3 completion percentage. He threw 

35 touchdowns, passed for 3,969 yards, and 

set an NFL-record a 112.8 passer rating, a 

mark that would stand for 10 seasons. Young 

captured Super Bowl XXIX MVP honors 

by tossing a record six touchdowns in San 

Francisco’s 49-26 win over the San Diego 

Chargers. 

In the spring of 1995, Kubiak returned to the 

Broncos as offensive coordinator, where 

he would steer Denver to the organization’s 

best numbers in team history and help lead 

the team to seven postseason trips and two 

Super Bowl titles in 11 seasons. 

Kubiak began as the offensive coordinator/ 

quarterbacks coach to his former teammate, 

Elway. Kubiak made an immediate impact 

as Elway threw for 3,970 yards, the secondbest 

mark of his Hall-of-Fame career. Elway 

increased his touchdown passes from 16 

in 1994 to 26 in 1995. During the final four 

years of his career (1995-98), Elway tossed 

101 touchdown passes, second only to Brett 

Favre in that span. 

Kubiak’s offense featured one of the best 

tight ends in NFL history. Shannon Sharpe, 

the NFL’s leader among tight ends in receptions, 

receiving yards, and touchdowns, 

spent seven years under Kubiak. Sharpe 

averaged 61 receptions and had the most 

yards receiving with 1,107 yards in 1997. 

Kubiak’s offenses have always been based 

on balance. The Broncos’ running game has 

focused around a strong system instead of 

an individual. Broncos runners have gone 

over the 1,000-yard rushing mark 10 out of 

the past 11 seasons . Denver has seen five 

different runners rush for more than 1,000 

yards, more than any team in the NFL over 

the past 11 years. 

Kubiak turned to Terrell Davis to tote the ball 

as the Broncos won back-to-back Super 

Bowls in the late ‘90s. In 1997, Davis became 

only the fourth running back in NFL history 

to rush for more than 2,000 yards. During the 

1997-98 seasons, he rushed for 3,758 yards, 

22 

HOUSTONTEXANS.COM

most of any running back in back-to-back 

campaigns between 1995-05. Davis’ 2,008 

rushing yards are the fourth most in NFL 

history. He won AP Offensive Player of the 

Year honors in 1996 and 1998. 

Following Elway’s retirement, Kubiak turned 

his offense over to second-year quarterback 

Brian Griese, who threw for 3,032 yards in 

his first season as the Broncos’ starter. In 

the 2000 season, Griese guided the Denver 

offense to rank second in the NFL in points 

scored and total offense. He was named 

to the Pro Bowl that 

season. 

That same season Mike 

Anderson rushed for 

1,487 yards, a Bronco 

record for a rookie. 

Anderson set the NFL 

single-game rookie 

rushing record with 251 

yards against the New 

Orleans Saints. That 

same year, Kubiak’s 

receivers Ed McCaffrey 

(101) and Rod Smith (100) 

became just the second 

pair of teammates in NFL 

history to grab at least 

100 receptions. 

In 2002, the Broncos drafted running back 

Clinton Portis in the second round. In his 

rookie season, Portis rushed for 1,508 yards, 

breaking Anderson’s rookie mark, and was 

named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. 

The Broncos’ rushing attack averaged 141.6 

yards per game, which ranked second in 

the AFC. The offense totaled 380.6 yards per 

game, which was third in the NFL. 

Kubiak relinquished his quarterbacks coach 

title in 2003, turning the duties over to 

Pat McPherson. That offseason, Denver 

signed quarterback Jake Plummer from 

the Arizona Cardinals and Plummer was 

immediately transformed. Despite missing 

five games his first season in Denver, 

Plummer threw for more touchdowns (15) 

than interceptions (7) for the second time in 

his career. The 2004 season saw Plummer 

throw for 4,089 yards, most in Broncos history. 

He also tossed 27 touchdown passes, 

tying Elway’s 1997 club record. 

Plummer has stayed on his feet in Kubiak’s 

offense. After being sacked an average of 

36 times per season in 

Arizona, Plummer has 

been sacked an average 

of 17 times per year in 

Denver. Every season in 

Kubiak’s system, Plummer 

has thrown more touchdowns 

than interceptions 

,and led the Broncos to 

the playoffs in each of the 

last three seasons. 

In 2005, Kubiak’s offense 

ranked fifth in the NFL 

with 5,766 total yards. 

His rushing attack was 

second in the league, 

averaging 158.7 yards 

per game. The Broncos 

were led by Anderson’s 

1,014 yards on the ground and Tatum Bell’s 

921 yards. Denver finished 2005 with a 13-3 

record, winning their division for the first 

time since 1998, the last time they appeared 

in the Super Bowl. 

In his 11 years as offensive coordinator, 

Kubiak’s Broncos amassed 66,501 total 

yards and 465 touchdowns, most in the NFL 

in that span. He has coached 14 different 

Broncos that made the Pro Bowl. Denver’s 

rushing attack totaled 25,022 yards, most in 

the NFL over the last 11 seasons. 

C O A C H E S 


Kubiak’s return to Houston is a return to his 

roots. He starred at St. Pius High School, 

where he was an all-state selection, passing 

for 6,190 yards during his high school 

career. He was inducted into the Texas 

High School Hall of Fame in 1999. 

Kubiak attended Texas A&M, where he 

was selected All-Southwest Conference 

in 1982. He led the conference in attempts 

(324), completions (181), percentage (55.9), 

yardage (1,948), touchdowns (19), and total 

offense (1,885) as a senior. He set the SWC 

single-game touchdown record with six 

against Rice during his junior season. He 

received his degree in Physical Education 

before being drafted by the Broncos in 

the eighth round (197th overall) in the 1983 

draft. 

Kubiak, born in Houston, is married to 

Rhonda. The couple has three sons Klint, 

Klay, and Klein. Klint currently attends 

Colorado State, where he plays defensive 

back for the Rams.

quarterback Jake Plummer set a team record 

passing for 4,089 yards and tied a team record 

with 27 touchdown passes. Coupled with 

an outstanding passing attack, the Broncos 

finished fourth in the NFL in rushing. The 

offense’s ability to combine the run and the 

pass led to Denver ranking second in the NFL 

in time of possession with 32:38 per game. 

The 2004 Broncos’ special teams connected 

on 29 field goals, second best in the NFL. 

Their special teams averaged 21.2 yards per

Kicker Martin Gramatica posted remarkable 

numbers during his first three NFL seasons. 

Gramatica nailed 84 of 101 field-goal 

attempts (including playoffs) and earned a 

Pro Bowl berth in 2000, breaking his own 

club single-season records in points scored

JOHN BENTON 

Offensive Line Coach 

3rd NFL Season • 1st with Texans 

John Benton enters his first season 

coaching the offensive line for the Houston 

Texans. 

Benton broke into the NFL as the assistant 

offensive line coach in 2004. During his 

first season, the Rams’ offensive line was 

led by Pro Bowl LT Orlando Pace. St. Louis 

finished the season with an 8-8 regular-season 

record, but qualified for the playoffs. 

The Rams rushed for 102 yards on their 

way to a 27-20 win at division-rival Seattle 

in a Wild Card match-up. The offensive line 

gave Rams quarterbacks enough time to 

finish fourth in the NFL with 252.3 passing 

yards per game. The St. Louis ground attack 

gained 1,496 yards. 

Benton was named the Rams’ offensive line 

coach in 2005. His line opened holes for 

RB Stephen Jackson to rush for more than 

1,000 yards for the first time in his career. 

Rams running backs averaged 1,579 rushing 

yards during Benton’s two years as the line 

coach. 

Benton lettered at Colorado State. He was 

honorable mention as an All-WAC player 

during his junior and senior seasons. He 

was a graduate assistant at Colorado State 

from 1987-90. His first offensive line job was 

at California University (Pa.). He also served 

as the recruiting coordinator. 

Benton returned to his alma mater in 1996. 

He was the offensive line coach until 2000 

and also took over as the co-offensive 

coordinator in 2000 until 2003. Upon his 

promotion, Benton looked for tutelage from 

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator 

Gary Kubiak. Colorado State emulated the 

Broncos’ power rushing attack. 

A Durango, Colo. native, he and his wife 

Nicole, have one daughter — Gabrielle. 

The family resides in Sugar Land.

CHICK HARRIS 

Running Backs Coach 


Chick Harris enters his fifth season as 

running backs coach for the Houston Texans 

after spending the previous seven seasons 

in the same capacity for the Carolina 

Panthers. Harris can boast 26 years of NFL 

coaching experience. 

Harris’ current protégé, fourth-year running 

back Domanick Davis, has quietly 

established himself as one of the top young 

backs in the league. In 2005, Davis rushed 

for 976 yards and two scores. He posted his 

second-consecutive 1,000-yard season in 

2004, rushing for a career-high 1,188 yards 

and 13 touchdowns. Davis can already 

boast 11 career 100-yard games. He’s also 

a consistent threat coming out of the backfield, 

hauling in 154 career passes for 1,279 

yards. In all, Davis holds 27 team records in 

three seasons under Harris. 

Backup running back Jonathan Wells posted 

another strong season in 2005, rushing 

for 325 yards and four scores. 

Harris was originally hired in Carolina by 

former Texans head coach Dom Capers, 

who did so before the Panthers’ inaugural 

season in 1995. 

During Harris’ seven-year tenure with the 

Panthers, injuries forced the club to suit up 

a bevy of running backs, from Tshimanga 

Biakabutuka to Richard Huntley to Brad 

Hoover to Fred Lane to Anthony Johnson 

to Derrick Moore. Harris helped Carolina 

set an expansion record with seven wins 

in 1995 and also helped the Panthers 

reach the NFC Championship Game the 

following season. 

Harris joined the Panthers after spending 

three seasons with the Rams in Los Angeles, 

the last season as offensive coordinator. 

In 1993, Harris helped rookie running back 

Jerome Bettis earn NFL Co-Rookie of the 

Year honors after rushing for 1,429 yards 

and seven touchdowns. Prior to his stint with 

the Rams, Harris served nine seasons as the 

offensive backfield coach for the Seattle 

Seahawks. Seattle advanced to the AFC 

Championship Game in Harris’ initial season 

and made three other playoff appearances 

during his tenure. In 1986, Harris helped 

Curt Warner establish a then single-season 

franchise record (since broken) with 1,481 

rushing yards. 

Harris launched his NFL coaching career 

with the Buffalo Bills in 1981, coaching 

two seasons. He entered the coaching 

profession at Colorado State in 1970, 

coaching three seasons before heading to 

Long Beach State. After one season at Long 

Beach, Harris joined the Detroit Wheels of 

the World Football League in 1974. He then 

moved on to the University of Washington, 

where he spent six seasons, helping the 

Huskies to two bowl wins, including a Rose 

Bowl triumph over Michigan. 

Harris lettered in football and track at 

Northern Arizona, where he is a member of 

the Lumberjacks’ athletic hall of fame. 

Born in Durham, N.C., Harris attended Long 

Beach (Calif.) Poly High School. He has a 

son, Tyler, and a daughter, Tarana. Harris 

and his wife, Karen, have a daughter, Kara. 

The family lives in Sugar Land.

JON HOKE 

Defensive Backs Coach 


C O A C H E S 

Jon Hoke enters his fifth season as the 

Texans’ defensive backs coach, directing 

one of the league’s most talented secondary 

units. 

In 2005, Hoke’s secondary unit accounted for 

six of the seven team interceptions, including 

one by Lewis Sanders for 29 yards against 

Kansas City. Dunta Robinson continued his 

success from his rookie season, finishing 

his sophomore campaign with a career-high 

93 tackles and team-leading 21 passes defensed. 

Demarcus Faggins also had a career 

year with 53 tackles and finished behind 

Robinson in team rankings with 14 passes 

defensed. Glenn Earl led the team with two 

interceptions. 

Hoke’s troops boast a formidable mix of young 

talent and veteran leadership. His defensive 

backs accounted for 18 of the Texans’ teamrecord 

22 interceptions in 2004. Nine of those 

picks resulted in returns of 20 yards or more, 

tying the Texans for third in the league in that 

category. Robinson tied for the lead among 

NFL rookies with six picks. 

Veteran Marcus Coleman also made a 

successful transition from cornerback to 

free safety in 2004, picking off two passes 

and returning one a team-record 102 yards 

for a touchdown. Faggins had by far his best 

season as the team’s nickel corner, picking 

off three passes and returning one for a score. 

And Hoke also helped fourth-round pick Earl 

crack the starting lineup as a rookie. 

Houston’s pass defense has been strong in 

all five of its seasons. In 2003, Coleman turned 

in a career season, picking off a club-record 

seven passes, which tied him for first in the 

AFC. In 2002, Hoke helped Aaron Glenn make 

his third Pro Bowl as the Texans ranked 10th 

in the NFL in pass defense, yielding just 196.3 

yards per game through the air. Houston’s 

defensive backs picked off nine passes, 

34 

HOUSTONTEXANS.COM

ecovered four fumbles, and scored three 

touchdowns. 

Hoke came to Houston after spending 

the previous three seasons as defensive 

coordinator at the University of Florida. Hoke 

replaced current University of Oklahoma 

head coach Bob Stoops at Florida in 1999, 

initially serving as defensive coordinator and 

secondary coach. In 2000, he added the title 

of assistant head coach. 

Under Hoke, the Gators went to three 

consecutive New Year’s Day bowl games 

(Citrus, Sugar, Orange), won the 2000 

Southeastern Conference championship, 

and finished as high as number three in both 

national polls (2001). Hoke’s ball-hawking 

defensive units forced 88 turnovers over 

those three seasons. 

In 2001, Florida led the SEC in total defense, 

scoring defense, first downs allowed, 

passing efficiency defense, and third-down 

conversion defense. The Gators ranked ninth 

nationally in total defense, fifth in scoring 

defense, 12th in rushing defense, and 13th 

in passing defense — the only SEC school 

to rank in the top 15 in all four categories. 

Florida yielded just 19 touchdowns, the 

fourth-fewest in the country, and only five 

aerial scores, tying national champion Miami 

for fewest nationally. 

In 2000, Hoke’s defense led the country with 

40 turnovers. His 1999 unit ranked ninth in 

the nation in rushing defense and paced the 

conference with 43 sacks. 

Hoke arrived in Gainesville after five seasons 

tutoring the defensive backs at Missouri. The 

Tigers earned bowl bids in Hoke’s last two 

seasons, thanks in large part to a defense 

that forced 48 turnovers, leading to 208 

points. Hoke helped Mizzou rank 22nd in the 

nation in scoring defense in 1998, yielding 

UM’s fewest points in 15 years. Hoke also 

coached the Tigers’ kick block team, which 

blocked 11 extra points, seven punts, and five 

field goals in his five seasons in Columbia. 

Prior to coaching at Missouri, Hoke spent 

four years at Kent State, coaching defensive 

backs all four seasons and adding the title of 

defensive coordinator in his final season. He 

coached defensive backs and special teams 

at San Diego State from 1987-88 and launched 

his coaching career in the same capacity at 

Bowling Green in 1983, helping the Falcons 

win the Mid-American Conference title with 

an 11-0 mark in 1985. 

Hoke was a four-year letterman at Ball 

State (1976-79), earning All-MAC honors as 

a defensive back. He earned a bachelor’s 

degree in physical education before playing 

in 11 games for the Chicago Bears in 1980. 

A native of Kettering, Ohio, Hoke and his wife, 

Jody, have four children — Mallory, Kyle, 

and twins Kendall and Carly. The family lives 

in Sugar Land.

JOHNNY HOLLAND 

Linebackers Coach 


C O A C H E S 

Johnny Holland joins the Houston Texans 

as the linebackers coach after spending the 

last three seasons with the Detroit Lions. 

Holland, who starred on the field for the 

Green Bay Packers for seven years, enters 

his 12th season as a coach in the NFL. 

Holland inherits a linebacking corps which 

returns standouts such as Morlon Greenwood, 

who led the team in tackles with 

144 in his first year with the Texans, and 

Shantee Orr, who emerged as one of the 

best playmakers on the Texans’ defense 

in 2005. The unit should also be bolstered 

by the return of veteran Kailee Wong, who 

missed most of 2005 with a knee injury. 

In 2005, Holland’s first year as linebackers 

coach with the Lions, the unit was ravaged 

by injuries with four linebackers ending 

the season on injured reserve, including 

Boss Bailey and Earl Holmes, who entered 

the season as starters. Holland molded 

his group into a solid unit and helped the 

defense hold opposing offenses under 300 

total yards in five of the team’s last seven 

games. 

In 2003-04, Holland was a defensive assistant 

for the Lions, helping new Texans 

defensive coordinator Richard Smith 

coach the linebackers. Holland began his 

coaching career as a defensive quality 

control coach for the Green Bay Packers 

from 1995-97 before coaching special teams 

in 1998 and linebackers in 1999. While on 

Mike Holmgren’s staff in Green Bay, he 

helped lead the Packers to back-to-back 

NFC championships following the 1995 and 

1996 seasons and a World Championship in 

Super Bowl XXXI. 

In 2000, Holland re-joined Holmgren in 

Seattle, where he served as the assistant 

special teams/assistant strength and conditioning 

coach. From 2001-02, he returned to 

his more familiar role as linebackers coach 

for the Seahawks. 

A native of Hempstead, Texas, Holland was 

a four-year letterman and three-year starter 

at Texas A&M. He led the Aggies’ vaunted 

“Wrecking Crew” defense in tackles in each 

of his final three seasons in College Station 

before moving on to the NFL as a secondround 

draft choice by the Packers in 1987. 

Holland posted six consecutive seasons 

with at least 100 tackles for Green Bay 

before retiring in 1994. In 1993, after 

suffering a neck injury in 1992, he led the 

team in tackles with 145 and helped guide 

the Packers to their first playoff birth in 11 

years. 

Holland was enshrined in the Texas A&M 

Hall of Fame in 1993 and was inducted into 

the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame in 2000. In 

July, 2001, he was inducted into the Green 

Bay Packers Hall of Fame. 

Holland and his wife, Faith, have a son, 

Jordan, and a daughter, Joli.

BOB KARMELOWICZ 

Defensive Line Coach 


Bob Karmelowicz enters his first season as 

Houston’s defensive line coach and his 15th 

overall season in the NFL. 

Karmelowicz will oversee the transition 

from a three-man line to a four-man unit. 

The shift to a 4-3 defense will add former 

linebackers Antwan Peek and Jason Babin, 

both defensive ends in college, to the line, 

as well as free-agent acquisition Anthony 

Weaver. Standout nose tackle Seth Payne, 

who notched a career-best four sacks in 

2005, returns to anchor the interior, and 

Robaire Smith will likely shift inside after 

turning in back-to-back 100-tackle seasons 

in 2004 and 2005. 

A 31-year coaching veteran, Karmelowicz 

spent the last nine years tutoring the defensive 

line for the Kansas City Chiefs. Prior to 

joining the Chiefs’ staff, he spent three years 

with the Washington Redskins (1994-96) and 

two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals 

(1992-93). 

In Kansas City, Karmelowicz was instrumental 

in developing defensive end Jared 

Allen, who recorded 20 sacks over his 

first two seasons after being drafted late 

in the fourth round in 2004. Karmelowicz 

also helped develop defensive end Eric 

Hicks, who has recorded 44.5 career sacks 

after signing with the Chiefs as an undrafted 

rookie free agent in 1998. 

From 1997, when Karmelowicz joined the 

Kansas City staff, through 2005, the Chiefs 

averaged better than 39 sacks per season 

and recorded two of the top three singleseason 

sack totals in club history. In 2000, 

the Chiefs’ defense recorded 51 sacks, 40 of 

which came courtesy of the defensive line. 

In 1997, Karmelowicz’ first year in Kansas 

City, the team registered 54 sacks led by 

defensive end Dan Williams, who turned 

in a career-best 10.5 sacks in his first year 

with the team. 

C O A C H E S 


Karmelowicz has been consistently effective 

at developing young talent. In Washington, 

he coached defensive end Ritchie Owens, 

who led the Redskins with 11 sacks in 1996, 

just his second pro season. While at the 

University of Miami, he helped produce a pair 

of top-three overall draft picks in defensive 

tackles Russell Maryland, who was the first 

pick in the 1991 draft, and Cortez Kennedy, 

who went third overall the year before. His 

defensive line was the anchor of a dominant 

Hurricanes defense which led the nation in 

total defense in 1989 and topped the country 

in scoring defense in 1991. 

The Plainville, Connecticut-native broke 

into the NFL coaching ranks in 1992 with 

Cincinnati after a highly successful 17-year 

career at the collegiate level. A three-year 

starter and a consensus Little All-America 

nose tackle at the University of Bridgeport, 

Karmelowicz began his coaching career 

at Arizona State, coaching the Sun Devils’ 

offensive line from 1975-79. He coached the 

offensive lines at Massachusetts (1980) and 

Texas-El Paso (1981) before switching to the 

defensive side of the ball at UNLV in 1982. 

He moved on to Illinois, where he coached 

the Fighting Illini defensive line from 1983-85 

and the offensive line in 1986, before moving 

permanently to the defensive side of the ball 

with Washington State from 1987-88. From 

1989-91, he coached the defensive line at 

the University of Miami before making the 

leap to the NFL. 

Karmelowicz earned his bachelor’s degree 

from Bridgeport in 1972 and received a 

master’s degree from Arizona State in 1977. 

He and his wife, Olga, have three children: 

daughters Liz and Marissa, and son Dave.

BRIAN PARIANI 

Tight Ends Coach 


Brian Pariani enters his first season with 

the Houston Texans as the tight ends coach. 

Pariani is responsible for one of the more 

utilized units in the Texans’ new offensive 

scheme. During his time in Denver from 

1995-04, Pariani’s tight ends combined for 859 

receptions and 9,948 receiving yards, most in 

the NFL over that 10-year period. 

Pariani inherits Mark Bruener who started 15 

games for Houston in 2005. Houston will also

In coaching with the Broncos during Super 

Bowl XXXII and XXXIII and with the San 

Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX, Pariani 

became one of only 15 coaches in the NFL 

to have won World Championships with 

two different organizations and one of nine 

coaches to have done it with teams from 

different conferences. 

While with the Broncos, Pariani coached 

Shannon Sharpe’ the greatest receiving tight 

end in NFL history. During his seven years 

under Pariani, Sharpe established himself 

as the greatest receiving tight end in NFL 

history. Sharpe led the NFL in receptions 

by a tight end from 1996-98 averaging 73 

catches over the three-year span. Sharpe 

totaled 425 receptions for 5,373 yards and 

38 touchdowns with Pariani as his position 

coach. Sharpe retired in 2004 finishing his 

career with eight Pro Bowl selections. He 

holds the NFL tight end career record for 

receptions with 815 and yards with 10,060 

and 62 touchdowns. On October 20, 2002, 

Sharpe set an NFL record with 214 receiving 

yards in a 37-34 OT win at Kansas City. 

As the Broncos’ tight ends coach, he helped 

lead the way for the Denver runners to rush 

for 22,483 yards, most in the NFL from 1995- 

04. The Broncos’ ranked number one in 

rushing in 1996 and number two in 2003. The 

Broncos’ total offense ranked number one in 

the NFL in 1996 and 1997. The Broncos running 

game ranked in the top five eight of his 

10 years in Denver. 

In 1990, Pariani served as a scouting assistant 

with the San Francisco 49ers before being 

promoted to offensive coaches assistant 

in 1991. In 1992-93 the 49ers were the topranked 

offense in the NFL. San Francisco 

set a team record with 505 points in 1994. 

Pariani began his career at UCLA in 1989 as a 

graduate assistant. 

Pariani, a northern California native, was a 

three-sport athlete at Marin Catholic High 

School in San Francisco. Pariani is married 

to Stephanie and they have two daughters,

With the final mini camp winding down, coach Kubiak gave the 

players and coaches a break by cancelling the final practice 

and bowling instead. The team was broken up into two teams, 

offense and defense, where they bowled two games with the top 

ten scores advancing to a roll off. Each bowler rolled one frame 

to aid their respective team’s cumulative score. 

The defense, however, seemed to have the more offensive touch, 

as they outlasted the offense for the victory. The coaching staff 

participated, but finished a distant third.

In March 2006, NFL clubs unanimously endorsed a 

recommendation to return the name of the official game ball 

to “The Duke” in honor of the late New York Giants owner 

Wellington Mara, who died in October 2005. 


Mara, who spent 81 years with the Giants and made numerous 

contributions to the NFL, was named Wellington by his father 

after the Duke of Wellington. He was given the nickname 

“The Duke” as a youngster by Giants players. 

The NFL game ball was known as “The Duke” from 1941-69. 

“The Duke” ball was used through 1969 but was discontinued 

prior to the 1970 season, the first to be played in the NFL-American 

Football League merger. The NFL and AFL continued using a 

Wilson football, but with a new design.

every-game starter, the Packers allowed an 

NFL-low 68 sacks…earned a trip to the Pro

give his running back space to cut back and

throw for 360 yards (9/26)…finished the 

game in spite of incredible pain caused in

appearance when, as the first alternate, 

he replaced the Bears’ Olin Kreutz (ankle/

Gary Kubiak looks for his first win as a head coach. During his time in the NFL, Kubiak has 

played or coached in 21 seasons. Kubiak has 19 seasons his team has been at 8 wins or more. 

If Kubiak’s team finished above .500, it will be the Texans first winning season. 

Texans WR Eric Moulds ranks 34th in NFL history in career receiving yards with 9,096. He 

needs 904 receiving yards to become the 26th member of the 10,000-yard club. His 

675 receptions ranks 25th in NFL history. 

Look for a pair of Texans receivers to begin new reception streaks. Last season, WR Andre 

Johnson had his 35 games streak of catching a pass broken when he left early fourth game 

of the season due to injury. His current streak is at nine. WR Eric Moulds had his 121 game 

streak, that dated back to 1997, broken late last season. His current streak stands at three. 

Texans G Chester Pitts has taken 3,798 consecutive snaps in Houston. Pitts in the lone player 

in Texans history to take every offensive snap. 

Last season K Kris Brown set a Texans record by scoring 102 points, most in team history. 

He looks to increase his point total this season, which would mark the fifth consecutive year 

Brown has scored more points than the prior season. 

Brown has scored at least a point in the last 35 games. Since becoming a member of the 

Texans he has scored at least one point in 63 of 64 games. 

G Steve McKinney looks to increase his consecutive games started streak. He has played 

in 70 consecutive games, dating back to the 2001 season when he was a member of the 

Indianapolis Colts. 

P Chad Stanley has not had a punt blocked in 252 consecutive punts.

The Texans fell to 0-1, losing their second consecutive season opener, after the Buffalo Bills (1-0) took an early lead and never 

relinquished it. The Bills received the opening kickoff, driving a game-long 65 yards on 10 plays over 5:36. QB J.P. Losman 

completed 5-6 passes on the series. His incompletion on third-and-10 from the Texans’ 16-yard line set up K Rian Lindell’s 

35-yard field goal. The Texans went three-and-out on their first drive following DE Aaron Schobel’s sack for an eight-yard loss 

on third down. The Bills capitalized by marching 63 yards on nine plays, highlighted by Losman’s 19-yard completion to WR 

Eric Moulds to the Texans’ seven-yard line. Lindell’s 21-yard field goal made the score 6-0. The Texans’ next series was stopped 

after three plays when FS Troy Vincent picked off QB David Carr’s pass intended for WR Andre Johnson at the Texans’ 32-yard 

line. At the beginning of the second quarter, Lindell’s 42-yard field goal gave the Bills a 9-0 lead. Buffalo’s offense quickly returned 

to the field when RB Domanick Davis fumbled on the first snap of the next series. LB London Fletcher recovered on the Texans’ 

27-yard line, setting up Lindell’s fourth field goal of the game, from 39 yards, to make the score 12-0. The Texans responded with 

their only scoring drive of the contest, going a game-long 75 yards on 12 plays over 4:30. Carr passed for 21 yards and rushed 

for 23 more, including a one-yard dive on fourth down when he scrambled out of the pocket to score the Texans’ only points of 

the afternoon. Buffalo fought back by going 61 yards on 11 plays, scoring on a one-yard play- action pass from Losman to OL 

Jason Peters that helped make the score 19-7 just before halftime. In the opening drive of the second half, the Texans engineered 

their second-longest drive of the game, moving 21 yards on six plays before Chad Stanley punted 39 yards to the Buffalo 11. The 

Bills punted for the first time on their opening drive of the third quarter. Stanley made his third punt after Carr was sacked twice 

for a loss of 19 yards on the Texans’ next possession. When the Texans’ offense returned to the field, following Brian Moorman’s 

second consecutive punt, Carr’s end zone pass to Johnson was intercepted by Vincent, who took it 22 yards to the Texans’ 21. 

The Bills went 21 yards on five plays before punting. Early in the fourth quarter, after Carr’s third-down scramble fell inches short 

of the first-down marker, Stanley punted 51 yards from the Buffalo 20. After CB Nate Clements’ 13-yard return, the Bills ate up 

3:22 before punting from the Texans’ 40-yard line. Three plays into their ensuing drive, the Texans coughed up the ball when LB 

Takeo Spikes sacked Carr, who fumbled on the Texans’ 23-yard line. SS Lawyer Milloy recovered the ball for no gain. Following 

three rushes for 21 yards by RB Willis McGahee, Lindell kicked a 31-yard field goal that made the score 22-7. The Texans punted 

on their next series after going three-and-out for the third time. Buffalo countered by running almost four minutes off the clock. 

The Bills rushed six times for 21 yards before Moorman punted. On the Texans’ final drive with 1:53 remaining in the game, Carr’s 

pass to TE Matt Murphy was picked off Milloy at the 50-yard line. Losman kneeled twice to run out the clock.

The Texans lost their second consecutive game to open the season for only the second time in team history, falling 27-7 to the 

defending AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers at Reliant Stadium. Houston committed seven penalties and allowed eight 

sacks in their first-ever loss to Pittsburgh. The Steelers started off fast, scoring on the game’s opening possession when K 

Jeff Reed capped off the team’s 11-play, 61-yard drive with a 37-yard field goal. Three plays into the Texans’ first drive, QB 

David Carr fumbled when he was sacked by LB Clark Haggans on the Houston 22. LB Joey Porter recovered and, two snaps 

later, QB Ben Roethlisberger found WR Hines Ward for a 16-yard touchdown pass that gave the Steelers a 10-0 lead midway 

through the first quarter. The Texans gained two first downs on their next series before Chad Stanley punted to Pittsburgh’s 

eight-yard line. From there, the Steelers mounted a game-long 102-yard drive on nine plays, highlighted by Roethlisberger’s 

14-yard touchdown pass to Ward. The Texans responded by going 35 yards on 11 plays before punting. RB Willie Parker rushed 

for 21 yards on the following series, leading to Reed’s second field goal, this one from 35 yards, to give Pittsburgh a 20-0 lead. 

Carr was sacked twice on the next drive to set up another Stanley punt near the end of the first half. Opening the third quarter, 

the Texans drove 88 yards on a team-long 14 plays. Carr threw for 72 yards, including a three-yard touchdown pass to RB 

Domanick Davis. The Steelers responded by going 63 yards on six plays. Parker finished the drive with a 10-yard touchdown run, giving 

the visitors a 27-7 advantage. The Texans marched all the way to the Steelers’ 33-yard line on their next series, but Carr’s pass to WR 

Corey Bradford fell incomplete on fourth down to give Pittsburgh possession. Chris Gardocki punted for the only time of the game 

on the Steelers’ next drive early in the final period. Houston couldn’t convert, though, after Carr was sacked for a 10-yard loss on 

third down, leading to another Stanley punt. The Steelers ran almost nine minutes off the clock when they regained possession. 

On the game’s final play, Carr was taken down for a four-yard loss.

The Texans dropped to 0-3 for the first time in team history when they fell 16-10 to the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals (4-0) at Paul 

Brown Stadium. The Texans received the opening kickoff and drove 36 yards on their first three plays of the game, before punting 

three snaps later to the Bengals’ 10-yard line. Cincinnati responded by marching 79 yards on a game-high 15 plays. QB Carson 

Palmer found WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh on three passes for 36 yards. K Shayne Graham ended the drive with a 24-yard field goal 

to make the score 3-0 midway through the first quarter. The Texans responded by going 49 yards on a team-high 12 plays to set 

up K Kris Brown’s first field goal of the season, which was good from 28 yards. LB Kailee Wong’s third-down sack helped force 

Cincinnati’s first punt of the game on the home team’s next possession. The Texans moved 37 yards to midfield before punting for 

the second time. The Bengals regained the lead on the following series when they went 65 yards on nine plays, punctuated by 

Palmer’s one-yard touchdown pass to FB Jeremi Johnson. Houston put together one final drive before halftime, but was forced 

to punt from its 16-yard line with 18 seconds remaining. After Cincinnati punted on the opening possession of the second half, QB 

David Carr evened the score when he led the Texans on a game-long 90-yard drive in 10 plays. RB Domanick Davis rushed for 

27 yards, and Carr passed to FB Moran Norris on a four-yard play-action touchdown pass. The Bengals engineered a team-long 

89-yard drive on their ensuing series, but Graham missed a 42-yard field goal near the end of the third quarter to keep the score 

tied 10-10. After Chad Stanley’s fourth punt of the game, Cincinnati capitalized by going 81 yards on 13 plays to set up Graham’s 

27-yarder. Houston turned the ball over on a controversial fumble six plays into the following drive on the Texans’ 38-yard line. 

Despite Dom Capers’ challenge, the play stood, leaving the Texans with no timeouts. Soon after the change of possession, 

Graham kicked a 46-yard field goal that made the score 16-10 with 1:15 left on the game clock. On the Texans’ 40-yard line, Carr 

was sacked for the seventh time of the game as the clock ran out.

The Texans’ losing streak stretched to four games when they fell 34-20 to AFC South division-rival Tennessee Titans at Reliant 

Stadium. The Titans took the opening kickoff 85 yards on 14 plays over 9:06, finishing the series with a 10-yard scoring pass from 

QB Steve McNair to TE Ben Troupe. The Texans scored on their first possession when K Kris Brown nailed a 32-yard field goal 

to finish off a team-long 13-play drive. Following the Titans’ first punt of the game, RB Domanick Davis went 44 yards on second 

down from the Houston 27 to set up Brown’s second field goal, which was good from 38 yards. With a 7-6 lead, Tennessee 

launched an aerial attack, gaining 49 yards on five completions before K Rob Bironas converted a game-long 52-yard field goal. 

After Chad Stanley’s first punt of the game, the Titans stalled at their 41-yard line to force a punt by Craig Hentrich. With four 

seconds left before halftime, the Titans attempted a rare fair-catch kick following Stanley’s punt to the Houston 48. Bironas’ 

58-yarder fell short, though. QB David Carr started the second half with 33 passing yards in his first three pass attempts on the 

opening drive. An incomplete pass on third down at the Tennessee 25 led to Brown’s 43-yard field goal that made the score 10-9 

in the visitor’s favor. The Titans punted on their first drive of the third quarter, but returned to the field on offense two minutes 

later after the Texans went three-and-out. McNair’s 41-yard completion to WR Drew Bennett gave Tennessee a first down at 

the Houston 17. Two plays later, RB Jarrett Payton scored on a five-yard run that helped make the score 17-9. A sack forced 

the Texans to punt on their third drive of the quarter, and McNair capitalized when he found Bennett wide open for a 16-yard 

touchdown pass. The Texans turned the ball over for the first time on their next series when Carr’s pass was deflected on fourthand-one 

near midfield. Cornerback Andre Woolfolk intercepted the ball and ran three yards to the Houston 37. Less than a minute 

into the fourth quarter, Bironas nailed a 49-yarder to make the score 27-9. The Texans responded by driving 32 yards on six plays 

before Brown’s 47-yarder cut the deficit to 15 points with 11:37 left in the game. On their final scoring drive of the game, the Titans 

burned 3:47 off the clock and McNair dove in for a one-yard touchdown. Houston punted again before returning to the field for a 

final scoring drive. Carr’s three-yard pass to WR Corey Bradford, followed by a two-point conversion pass to Bradford, made the 

score 34-20 just inside the two-minute warning. The Titans rushed four times on their last offensive series before the Texans ran 

out the remaining time when Carr was sacked on the final play of the game.

The Texans (0-5) suffered their third all-time loss on ESPN Sunday Night Football when the Seattle Seahawks (4-2) plowed their way 

to a commanding 42-10 win at Qwest Field behind a team-record 320 net yards of rushing. The Texans opened the game with the 

ball, going nine yards on five plays before Chad Stanley punted 33 yards to the Seattle 26. QB Matt Hasselbeck completed his first 

two passes for 30 yards. RB Shaun Alexander gained 26 yards on his first three carries before scoring the first points of the game 

on a four-yard run. Following another Stanley punt, the Seahawks’ offense returned with the ball on their four-yard line. Alexander 

picked up where he left off on the last series, rushing five times for 24 yards, including a five-yard touchdown run that helped make 

the score 14-0 late in the first quarter. The Texans’ ensuing drive went a game-long 16 plays. WR Jabar Gaffney caught six passes for 

31 yards. K Kris Brown kicked a 39-yard field goal to make the score 14-3. After Seattle punted for the first time on their next offensive 

series, the Texans went three-and-out for the first time. Stanley’s 43-yard punt from the Texans’ eight-yard line was returned five 

yards to the Houston 46. Consecutive completions for 31 yards set up a three-yard touchdown pass to WR Joe Jurevicius. K 

Josh Brown’s extra point made the score 21-3. Another three-and-out series by Houston led to the Seahawks’ fifth possession of 

the first half. On first down, though, Hasselbeck was hurried by a cornerback blitz and his pass was intercepted by LB Troy Evans, 

who returned it three yards to the Seattle 48. The Texans marched 16 yards on seven plays in 38 seconds before Brown attempted 

a 56-yard field goal that missed wide right with six seconds left before halftime. To open the second half, the Seahawks drove 70 

yards on a team-long 12 plays. Alexander rushed for a one-yard touchdown that made the score 28-3 after Brown’s extra point. 

The Texans responded with a team-long 70-yard drive on nine plays. RB Vernand Morency gained 12 yards on a fake punt from 

the Houston 42. Five plays later, QB David Carr found RB Domanick Davis open on a play-action pass for a 27-yard touchdown. 

Brown’s extra point cut Seattle’s lead to 28-10 near the end of the third quarter. Alexander’s fourth touchdown of the game 

came when he scored from 23 yards out to cap Seattle’s 81-yard drive early in the fourth quarter. On the Texans’ next drive, Carr 

completed three passes, all to Gaffney, for 51 yards. On fourth down at the Houston 47, Stanley’s 42-yard punt was returned one 

yard to the Seattle 12. RB Maurice Morris rushed three times for 63 yards, including 11 on a touchdown that finished a game-long 

88-yard drive and helped stretch the Seahawks’ lead to 42-10. Carr was sacked twice for a 15-yard loss on the Texans’ next drive, 

leading to another Stanley punt. With 3:33 left in the game, Seattle gained one first down and then ran the clock out.

The Texans’ three-game win streak on Battle Red Day came to a halt when the Indianapolis Colts stretched their undefeated 

record to seven games with a commanding 38-20 win at Reliant Stadium. The Texans worked to establish the run early in the 

game, rushing eight times on 11 plays in the first two drives, but both series ended in punts. The Colts, meanwhile, drove 88 yards 

on 11 plays on their opening possession, which RB Edgerrin James finished off with a one-yard touchdown run. The Texans 

forced the first turnover of the game on the Colts’ next drive. OLB Shantee Orr sacked QB Peyton Manning for a four-yard loss, 

forcing a fumble in the process. LB Morlon Greenwood recovered on the 50-yard line. Unfortunately, on the next play, the Texans 

returned the favor when QB David Carr was intercepted by CB Nick Harper, who returned the pick 20 yards to the Houston 47. 

Two plays later, Manning found TE Dallas Clark for a 31-yard touchdown. The Texans rebounded by marching a team-long 79 

yards on 14 plays. RB Domanick Davis rushed for 40 net yards on 11 carries, ending the drive with an eight-yard touchdown run. 

Following CB Dunta Robinson’s interception on the first play of the Colts’ ensuing possession, Carr found WR Jabar Gaffney open 

on an eight-yard touchdown pass that helped tie the score 14-14 seconds before halftime. The Colts turned up the horsepower 

in the second half, driving 77 yards on their opening series. James scored from nine yards out for his second touchdown of 

the game. Following another Texans punt, the Colts took more than seven minutes off the clock, adding to their lead when K 

Mike Vanderjagt nailed a 36-yard field goal to cap off the game-long 16-play drive. Following three consecutive sacks, the Texans 

punted again. On the fourth play of the Colts’ series, Manning and WR Marvin Harrison hooked up on a seven-yard touchdown 

pass. Indianapolis stretched their lead to 38-14 when DE Robert Mathis sacked Carr, forcing a fumble that DT Montae Reagor 

recovered for a 37-yard touchdown return. WR Jerome Mathis made history on the next kickoff return when he went 89 yards 

for his first career touchdown. With 7:49 to play in the game, the Colts’ offense gained four first downs to run out the remainder 

of the clock.

The Texans (1-6) notched their first win of the 2005 season, 19-16, over the Cleveland Browns (2-5) at Reliant Stadium behind 

a stellar special teams effort and two takeaways on defense. Following Cleveland’s three-and-out on their game’s opening 

series, the Texans took the lead for the first time this season when QB David Carr found rookie WR Jerome Mathis on a 34- 

yard touchdown pass to cap a five-play, 60-yard drive. Cleveland went 69 yards on 10 plays to even the game 7-7 following QB 

Trent Dilfer’s eight-yard touchdown pass to TE Aaron Shea and K Phil Dawson’s extra point. The Browns forced the game’s 

first turnover on the Texans’ next possession when Carr’s pass was deflected by TE Marcellus Rivers and intercepted by CB 

Leigh Bodden near midfield. In eight plays, the Browns moved into field goal range at the Houson 10. Dawson’s 28-yard field goal 

gave the Browns their first lead, 10-7, near the end of the first quarter. The Texans went three-and-out on their first three drives 

of the second quarter, while the Browns managed one scoring drive on their first three series. Dawson nailed a 29-yard field goal 

with 4:18 left in the first half to stretch the Browns’ lead to 13-7. The Texans responded with a 12-play, 40-yard drive that Brown 

finished with a 38-yard field goal. Trailing by three points at halftime, the Texans went three-and-out on the opening series of the 

second half. DE Gary Walker forced the Browns’ first giveaway when he sacked Dilfer for an eight-yard loss on Cleveland’s first 

possession of the third quarter. DE Robaire Smith recovered the ball on the Houston 25, running three yards before being tackled. 

The Texans capitalized off the turnover by marching 63 yards on 12 plays. RB Domanick Davis gained 28 yards on seven carries 

to set up Brown’s second field goal of the game, a 37-yarder, that tied the score 13-13. The Browns turned the ball over on their 

second consecutive possession when S Jason Simmons knocked the ball loose from RB Reuben Droughns at the Cleveland 35. 

OLB Antwan Peek recovered it at the Browns’ 32-yard line. Seven plays later, Brown nailed a 35-yard field goal to put the Texans 

ahead 16-13 with 14:12 left in the contest. On Cleveland’s ensuing series, a huge third down stop by DT Seth Payne and LB Morlon 

Greenwood forced the Browns to punt from their 34-yard line on fourth-and-one. After a Texans punt, Cleveland tied the score 

when Dawson booted a 37-yarder to cap Cleveland’s team-long 11-play, 52-yard drive. Thanks to Mathis’ 63-yard return on the 

ensuing kickoff, the Texans’ offense needed only a few yards to get within field-goal range. WR Jabar Gaffney’s 10-yard catch, 

followed by Davis’ five-yard carry, led to Brown’s game-winning 40-yarder with less than three minutes left in the contest. On 

the Browns’ final play of the game, CB Phillip Buchanon broke up a pass intended for WR Antonio Bryant on fourth down to give 

Houston possession with 43 seconds on the clock. Carr knelt twice to run out the clock.

The Texans (1-7) welcomed the return of Pro Bowl WR Andre Johnson to the starting lineup for the first time since Week 5 

against Tennessee. But despite Johnson’s game-high nine catches for 91 yards (10.1 avg.), the Texans were unable to maintain 

their seven-point halftime lead, falling 21-14 to the Jaguars (5-3) for the first time since 2003 at ALLTEL Stadium. The Texans 

and Jaguars both punted on their first two possessions of the game. The Texans took the lead with 10:23 left in the first half 

when QB David Carr found WR Corey Bradford open near the right hashmark in Jacksonville territory. Bradford eluded several 

defenders for a 31-yard touchdown to cap a game-long 88-yard drive that lasted 5:19. The Texans forced Jacksonville into three 

more punts before halftime. On the Texans’ opening possession of the third quarter, Carr was sacked for a seven-yard loss by 

DT Rob Meier at the Texans’ 28-yard line and fumbled. Carr’s fumble was recovered by DE Bobby McCray at the Houston 29. 

The Jaguars scored in four plays when QB Byron Leftwich found WR Ernest Wilford open on a play-action, 12-yard touchdown 

pass. The Texans rebounded by going 84 yards on a game-long 13 plays. Carr completed each of his six passes for 50 yards. RB 

Jonathan Wells, replacing injured RB Domanick Davis in the starting lineup, finished the scoring drive with a seven-yard 

touchdown run on fourth-and-one to give Houston a 14-7 lead near the end of the third quarter. Leftwich’s two completions for 

65 yards to Wilford, in addition to WR Jimmy Smith’s acrobatic 11-yard reception on third-and-nine inside Houston territory, led 

to Jacksonville’s second score of the game. In shotgun formation, Leftwich rushed for an eight-yard touchdown to tie the game 

14-14 early in the fourth quarter. When Carr was stopped on third down on the following drive, Chad Stanley made his only punt 

of the second half. RB Greg Jones, splitting carries with rookies Alvin Pearman and Derrick Wimbush after RB Fred Taylor left 

the game in the third quarter with an injured ankle. Jones rushed for a 12-yard touchdown the following drive to help Jacksonville 

seal the game with less than three minutes to play. Carr completed two passes for 28 yards to Johnson on the Texans’ final drive. 

But on fourth-and-nine from the Jacksonville 42, following a sack, Carr’s deep pass down the left sideline intended for Bradford 

fell incomplete. With 35 seconds left in the game, Leftwich knelt twice to give Jacksonville the victory.

The Texans (1-8) lost their eighth-consecutive game to the Indianapolis Colts (9-0) despite a valiant third-quarter comeback 

attempt and a 2-0 advantage in the turnover battle. The Colts wrapped up their season series with the Texans, 31-17, behind 

QB Peyton Manning’s three touchdown passes and RB Edgerrin James’ 122 rushing yards. Both teams punted on their opening 

possessions before the Colts went 70 yards on 10 plays, scoring on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Manning to TE Dallas Clark 

with less than five minutes left in the first quarter. James helped give the Colts a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter when 

he capped a 12-play, 86-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run. Manning completed all six of his passes on the series 

for 45 yards. After Chad Stanley’s third punt of the game, James rushed for 15 yards on four carries before Manning and WR 

Brandon Stokley connected on a 21-yard touchdown completion. K Mike Vanderjagt’s extra point gave the Colts a 21-0 lead with 

5:43 to play before halftime. The Texans collected their first takeaway of the game when DB Marlin Jackson muffed Stanley’s 

punt at the Indianapolis 31. S Ramon Walker recovered the ball at the 34-yard line. Two completions by QB David Carr for 20 yards 

set up RB Jonathan Wells’ 14-yard touchdown run. Kris Brown’s extra point made the score 21-7 at the half. To open the third 

quarter, the Texans gained 60 yards on a team-long 11 plays. Carr passed for 37 yards, including 13 on a play-action touchdown 

pass to WR Jabar Gaffney that helped make the score 21-14 midway through the third quarter. The Colts responded quickly when 

Manning found WR Marvin Harrison open on a 30-yard touchdown pass on only the fifth play of the series. The Texans punted 

on their following possession, but the Colts muffed the catch again. DB Jason David was unable to control the punt, and RB 

Vernand Morency recovered the ball at the Indianapolis 30. On fourth-and-two, Brown’s 24-yard field goal with 1:03 remaining 

in the third quarter cut the Colts’ lead to 28-17. The Colts burned more than four minutes off the clock on their next drive, which 

Vanderjagt finished with a 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. The Texans moved into Indianapolis territory when they 

returned to the field, but on fourth-and-eight, Carr’s pass to Gaffney fell short. The Texans punted from their 18-yard line on their 

final drive. James gained two first downs on the Colts’ last series to help the home team run out the remainder of the clock.

including a club-record 211-yard effort by RB Larry Johnson. After K Lawrence Tynes put the visitors ahead by three points with 

a 35-yard field goal, Johnson helped give the Chiefs a 10-point lead near the end of the first quarter with a 23-yard touchdown 

run. The Texans responded on the next play when rookie WR Jerome Mathis returned the kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, 

breaking his previous record for the longest kickoff return for a touchdown in team history. Later in the second quarter, QB 

Trent Green passed to WR Eddie Kennison for a 26-yard touchdown to cap a four-play, 71-yard drive. A fumble by WR 

Andre Johnson on the Texans’ next possession led to another touchdown on a one-yard run by Johnson. Trailing 24-7, the Texans 

marched a team-long 10 plays to the Kansas City 35 before P Chad Stanley mishandled the snap on a 53-yard field-goal attempt. 

On the Texans’ final series of the first half, QB David Carr was picked off by CB Eric Warfield, who returned the interception 57 

yards for a touchdown. The Texans fought back when CB Lewis Sanders intercepted Green on the opening series of the third 

quarter. He returned the interception 29 yards to the Kansas City 37. On the sixth play of the ensuing drive, RB Domanick Davis 

scored on a three-yard touchdown runto cut the Chiefs’ lead to 31-14. After the Chiefs’ first punt of the second half, K Kris Brown 

nailed a 22-yard field goal to cap a nine-play, 67-yard drive with less than a minute left in the third quarter. The Chiefs held 

possession for more than 10 minutes on their next two series, which both ended in touchdowns. Green and Kennison hooked up 

again, this time on a seven-yard touchdown with 8:46 left in the contest. Then, following a Texans punt, Green threw a six-yard 

fade route to WR Samie Parker that stretched the Chiefs’ lead to 45-17 after Tynes’ extra point. The Texans turned the ball over 

on downs on their final series.

The Texans (1-10) suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in dramatic fashion, blowing a 24-3 halftime lead to fall 33-27 in 

overtime to the St. Louis Rams. QB David Carr helped the Texans jump out to an early lead when he finished the team’s second 

possession with a five-yard touchdown pass to WR Andre Johnson, capping a team-long 89-yard drive on nine plays. Early in the 

second quarter, Carr found RB Domanick Davis for a 30-yard touchdown that helped stretch the Texans’ lead to 14-0. Less than 

two minutes later, following the Rams’ third punt of the game, Carr passed for 40 yards on four attempts to set up Kris Brown’s 

39-yard field goal. In QB Ryan Fitzpatrick’s second series in place of injured QB Jamie Martin, the rookie from Harvard passed 

for 45 yards and rushed for 10 more, leading to Jeff Wilkins’ 37-yard field goal. RB Jonathan Wells returned the subsequent 

kickoff 40 yards to the Rams’ 29-yard line. Carr passed twice to Johnson for 21 yards. On the fourth play of the drive, WR Corey 

Bradford hauled in a 10-yard touchdown pass to give the Texans a 24-3 halftime lead after Brown’s extra point. The Rams’ offense 

marched 44 yards to open the second half before FS Marcus Coleman stepped in front of Fitzpatrick’s pass intended for WR 

Torry Holt at the Houston 14. Coleman returned the interception six yards before WR Isaac Bruce knocked the ball loose and RB 

Steven Jackson recovered the fumble at the Houston 21. Three plays later, Fitzpatrick and Holt hooked up on a 19-yard touchdown 

pass. Leading 24-10, the Texans were in position to add to their lead when Brown missed a 46-yard field goal wide left. After the 

Rams punted, the Texans drove 58 yards on 11 plays over 5:39 before Carr’s pass to Davis was intercepted at the Rams’ eightyard 

line by LB Pisa Tinoisamoa, who returned the pick 15 yards. It took the Rams a game-long 13 plays to score, when Jackson 

dove in for a touchdown on fourth-and-one at the one-yard line to cut the Texans’ lead to 24-17. Davis rushed for 23 yards on the 

following series, and Brown seemed to put the game out of reach when he booted a 35-yard field goal with 2:52 left in the contest. 

When Fitzpatrick found Bruce for a 43-yard touchdown with 34 seconds on the game clock, it opened a small door, which the 

Rams kicked in when Holt recovered the ensuing onside kick. Three plays later, Wilkins nailed a 47-yard field goal that brought 

the game into overtime. After winning the coin toss, the Texans’ offense gained only 33 yards before punting from the St. Louis 47. 

Two passes to Holt for 30 yards set up a wide receiver screen to WR Kevin Curtis, who sprinted 56 yards for the game-winner.

The Texans (1-11) were victims of a last-minute comeback for the second consecutive week when they lost 16-15 to the Baltimore 

Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. K Matt Stover nailed a 38-yard field goal with less than 10 seconds on the game clock to seal the 

win and overshadow RB Domanick Davis’ season-high 155 rushing yards and OLB Shantee Orr’s team-record three sacks. The 

Texans’ defensive effort was stellar throughout the game, and the unit started off strong with a takeaway on the game’s opening 

series. DT Seth Payne stripped the ball from RB Jamal Lewis, and OLB Antwan Peek recovered on the Baltimore 36 for no gain. 

Two sacks by DE Terrell Suggs on the next three plays led to a punt by Chad Stanley. With 6:15 left in the first quarter, rookie 

WR Jerome Mathis returned Dave Zastudil’s punt for a career-long 19 yards to set up Kris Brown’s 39-yard field goal. Baltimore 

responded with a 12-play, 65-yard drive that was assisted by three defensive penalties for an additional 15 yards. QB Kyle Boller 

finished the series with a six-yard sneak. Later in the second quarter, the Texans marched 93 yards on a game-long 16 plays. 

Brown entered the game with six seconds left before halftime to hit a 26-yarder that cut the Ravens’ lead to 7-6 heading into 

the third quarter. Both teams punted on their first two possessions of the second half. Momentum swung in Baltimore’s favor 

with 5:03 left in the third quarter when Mathis fumbled Zastudil’s punt at the Ravens’ 36-yard line. TE Daniel Wilcox recovered 

for Baltimore. The Ravens soon returned the favor when LB DaShon Polk forced RB Chester Taylor to fumble after a six-yard 

reception. LB Morlon Greenwood recovered the ball on the 29-yard line for the team’s second takeaway. The Texans capitalized 

on the turnover when Brown made a 22-yard field goal less than 30 seconds into the fourth quarter, giving the Texans a 9-7 lead. 

The Ravens fought back with 7:23 remaining in the contest when LB Adalius Thomas intercepted QB David Carr’s tipped pass 

at the Houston 20 and returned it for a touchdown. RB Domanick Davis continued his rushing onslaught on the next drive, when 

he rushed 20 yards on four carries. Carr found WR Andre Johnson for a 24-yard gain to the Baltimore 38, which led to Brown’s 

29-yard field goal. Following another Zastudil punt, which Davis returned 21 yards to the Ravens’ 29 yard-line, Brown set up for 

another field goal, this one from 39 yards, that put the Texans ahead by two points with a little more than a minute to play. Without 

timeouts, Boller completed three passes for 42 yards. Then, after recognizing the Texans’ all-out blitz, he found WR Mark Clayton 

in one-on-one coverage for a 35-yard gain. Moments later, Stover hit the game-winner with less than 10 seconds on the game 

clock to give the home team a 16-15 win.

The Texans (1-12) lost their second game in a row by a last-minute field goal when Rob Bironas nailed a 21-yarder with 10 

seconds left on the game clock. Rookie WR Jerome Mathis made things interesting when he returned the ensuing kickoff 50 

yards to the Tennessee 26. A 15-yard face-mask penalty on CB Reynaldo Hill set up Kris Brown’s 31-yard field goal with no time 

on the clock, but the attempt missed wide right. The Texans took a 3-0 advantage into the second quarter following Brown’s 30- 

yard field goal, which capped a six-play, 54-yard drive highlighted by RB Domanick Davis’ game-long 44-yard run. Consecutive 

completions by QB Steve McNair to TE Ben Troupe and RB Travis Henry for 67 total yards set up Bironas’ 23-yard attempt that 

tied the game with 4:32 left in the first half. The Texans engineered a game-long 72-yard scoring drive on nine plays before 

halftime. QB David Carr rolled out and found Davis on a three-yard route that made the score 10-3 after Brown’s extra point. 

The teams traded punts twice in the third quarter before rookie CB Pacman Jones returned Chad Stanley’s punt 52 yards for a 

momentum-swinging touchdown. The Texans had a chance to regain the lead with 3:53 left in the game, but Brown’s 37-yard field 

goal was blocked by S Tank Williams. On the subsequent possession, the Titans marched into Houston territory, where Bironas 

nailed the field goal that clinched the Titans’ fourth victory of the season.

The Texans (2-12) rebounded from three consecutive late-game losses to overpower the error-prone Arizona Cardinals (4-10) 

for a 30-19 win at Reliant Stadium. The Texans forced four turnovers, collected six sacks, and scored three rushing touchdowns 

en route to a club-record 24 second-quarter points to close the door on the Cardinals. K Neil Rackers’ 26-yard field goal with 

3:47 left in the first quarter made the score 3-0 in the Cardinals’ favor, but the Texans responded with a nine-play, 46-yard drive 

that RB Jonathan Wells capped with a seven-yard touchdown run 32 seconds into the second quarter. QB Kurt Warner and 

WR Anquan Boldin connected on five passes for 77 yards on the ensuing series, including a 20-yard touchdown pass that gave 

Arizona a 10-7 lead following Rackers’ extra point. That would be the last time the Texans trailed the entire game. Rookie RB 

Vernand Morency bounced around for a 25-yard touchdown to finish a 10-play, 63-yard drive. A three-yard touchdown run by 

Wells a little more than three minutes later gave the Texans a 21-10 lead. Backup QB Josh McCown replaced Warner (knee) on 

the next possession. On his fourth attempt, McCown was intercepted by SS Glenn Earl, who rolled two yards to the Arizona 40 

before being downed. Eight plays and 29 yards later, Brown kicked a 27-yard field goal 12 seconds before halftime to give the 

Texans a team-record 24 second-quarter points and a 14-point lead. The Texans added to their lead in the third quarter when 

Brown hit his second field goal, a 41-yard field goal, to finish an eight-play series that saw Carr pass seven times for 39 total yards. 

Despite Carr’s interception later in the third quarter, which the Cardinals turned into three points when Rackers hit a 42-yarder, 

the Texans were able to thwart the Arizona attack. Rookie FS C.C. Brown picked off third-string QB John Navarre and returned it 

five yards to the Cardinals’ 40-yard line. Unfortunately, QB David Carr fumbled less than two minutes later, and LB Karlos Dansby 

recovered the ball on the Arizona 42. A 12-yard touchdown catch by WR Larry Fitzgerald with 5:36 to play made things interesting, 

but FB Obafemi Ayanbadejo.

Despite taking a 13-10 halftime lead, the Texans (2-13) allowed 21 fourth-quarter points to lose 38-20 to the division- rival 

Jacksonville Jaguars. RB LaBrandon Toefield rushed for three touchdowns and 24 yards for the visitors, while QB David Carr 

paced the Texans with two touchdown passes and 295 passing yards. On their opening drive of the game, Jacksonville drove 64 

yards on 12 plays over 6:59. QB David Garrard completed three passes for 41 yards to help set up Toefield’s first touchdown run. 

Two completions for 45 yards led to the Texans’ first points of the game. Kris Brown’s 37-yard field goal cut the Jaguars’ lead 

to 7-3 with 2:27 left in the first quarter. When Josh Scobee missed a 40-yard field goal wide right early in the second quarter, 

the Texans took advantage of the field position. Carr threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to WR Corey Bradford to cap the six-play, 

69-yard drive. Brown’s extra point gave the Texans their first lead of the game, 10-7. The Jaguars responded with a gamelong 

14-play, 81-yard drive that ended with Scobee’s 26-yard field goal with 4:38 left before halftime. Six rushes for 29 yards by 

Jonathan Wells, who replaced injured RB Domanick Davis in the starting lineup for the second week in a row, helped lead to 

Brown’s 53-yard field goal—his longest as a member of the Texans. After each team punted on their opening possession of the 

second half, the Jaguars took the lead on Toefield’s two-yard touchdown run with 4:07 left in the third quarter. RB Fred Taylor 

set up the score with two rushes for 32 yards. Brown missed a 38-yard field goal wide right on the next series, but the Texans 

bounced back when Carr connected with WR Andre Johnson on a 53-yard touchdown pass less than three minutes later. Trailing 

20-17 with 12:08 left in the game, Garrard led the Jaguars on a six-play, 66-yard drive, punctuated by his 19-yard pass to WR 

Reggie Williams and Taylor’s 15-yard touchdown burst. When Brown missed another field goal, this one from 48 yards, on the 

next possession, Jacksonville continued their offensive onslaught. Garrard hit WR Ernest Wilford on a 36-yard touchdown pass 

to make the score 31-20 after Scobee’s extra point. When Carr was intercepted by CB Terry Cousin, who returned the pick 14 

yards to the Houston 21, the Jaguars put the game away. Toefield broke several tackles on a 17-yard touchdown run with 1:58 left 

in the game. Carr passed for 48 yards on the Texans’ final possession.

The Texans suffered their league-worst 14th loss of the season 20-17 in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers. In wet and windy 

conditions, the Texans were unable to hold onto their 10-point first-quarter lead and were outscored 20-7 the rest of the way. 

Playing without injured running backs Domanick Davis and Jonathan Wells for the entire game, and QB David Carr, WR 

Andre Johnson, and OLB Shantee Orr for most of the game, the Texans were at a clear disadvantage. Rookie RB 

Vernand Morency cushioned the blow with a season-best performance. He helped put the Texans in scoring range on the team’s 

second drive with 18 yards from scrimmage on one catch and two rushes. K Kris Brown’s 21-yarder with 9:18 left in the first 

quarter gave Houston a 3-0 lead. After S Ramon Walker blocked Andy Lee’s punt, which gave Houston possession at the San 

Francisco 17, Morency rushed for a three-yard touchdown five plays later. Early in the second quarter, the Texans recorded their 

first takeaway of the game when S Glenn Earl picked off QB Alex Smith’s tipped pass intended for FB Terry Jackson. The 49ers 

didn’t score their first points until there were 25 seconds left before halftime. Smith led the 49ers on a 14-play, 76-yard drive that 

he capped with his first-ever touchdown pass—a 14-yard strike to WR Brandon Lloyd. San Francisco engineered another 14- 

play scoring drive on the opening possession of the second half. Joe Nedney finished it off with a 42-yard field goal that tied the 

game 10-10. With Carr sidelined because of an elbow injury, QB Tony Banks took over and threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to 

WR Corey Bradford on the Texans’ first series of the third quarter. The lead 17-10 lasted until late in the period, when Banks’ pass 

intended for rookie WR Donovan Morgan was picked off by S Mike Adams and returned 40 yards for a touchdown. Brown missed 

a 31-yard go-ahead field goal with 6:11 remaining in the game. With less than a minute on the game clock, the 49ers decided 

against attempting a 53-yard field goal, and punted into the end zone for a touchback. In overtime, the 49ers punted on the 

opening series, but received the ball back when Banks’ pass to Bradford fell incomplete on third-and-two at the San Francisco 

44. On the Texans’ second possession in the extra period, Banks was picked off for the second time by Adams. He lateraled the 

ball to S Ben Emanuel, who ran 35 yards to the Houston 21. RB Frank Gore rushed twice for six yards before Nedney kicked the 

33-yard game-winning field goal with 3:55 remaining in overtime.

Philadelphia on September 10, he will become the youngest 

player in Texans history to see the field in a regular-season game. 

Mario will be 21 years, 222 days old, 58 days younger than running 

back Tony Hollings was when he made his Texans debut in 2003.

For heart transplant candidates, the greatest enemy is time. But a historic collaboration 

between Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, Dr. George Noon, and NASA scientists produced a 

miniaturized implantable heart pump that can extend the lifespan of patients waiting 

for a donor heart. And, after being the first to perform a successful heart autotransplant, 

we can now treat certain types of heart cancer once considered inoperable. At the 

Methodist DeBakey Heart Center, we are dedicated to the treatment of heart disease, 

but we’re equally devoted to its prevention. By offering comprehensive, advanced 

cardiac screening, we help people the world over make necessary lifestyle changes and 

take charge of their heart health. For an appointment or more information about our 

prevention programs, call 866-DeBakey, or visit debakeyheartcenter.com.

The city of Houston has always been on 

the cutting edge of stadium development. 

Houston first introduced the Astrodome, 

which opened in 1965 as the world’s first dome stadium. 

The trend continued in 2002 with the debut of 

Reliant Stadium. 

Reliant Stadium, the first NFL stadium with a retractable 

roof, opened for business on Aug. 24, 

2002, as the Texans hosted the Miami Dolphins in 

their first home preseason game. Houston’s regular 

season debut against Dallas on Sept. 8 was 

televised nationally on ESPN. The Texans stunned 

the Cowboys before a raucous crowd, unveiling a 

gameday atmosphere that would become a staple 

throughout the Texans’ inaugural campaign. 

Counting preseason contests, the Texans have 

played to 30 consecutive sellouts and set a team 

record in 2004 with 565,192 fans during the regular 

season, an average of 70,649 per game. The 

Texans’ largest crowd to date was 70,769 in their 

prime time showdown with the Green Bay Packers 

last November, the largest non-Super Bowl crowd 

in the city’s history. 

And speaking of the Super Bowl, the world’s biggest 

sports spectacle returned to Houston for the 

first time in 30 years in 2004 as Reliant Stadium 

hosted a memorable Super Bowl XXXVIII between 

the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers. 

The Patriots won 32-29 on Adam Vinatieri’s 41-yard 

field goal with four seconds remaining before a 

raucous crowd of 71,525. The event also featured 

elaborate pregame and halftime shows featuring 

the likes of Aerosmith, Beyoncé, Kid Rock, 

Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Nelly, Toby Keith and 

Willie Nelson. 

Reliant Stadium has also played host to numerous 

college football games, including three Houston 

Bowls and the 2002 and 2005 Big 12 Championship 

Games. The stadium will also play host to the 2006 

East/West Shrine All-Star Game. The stadium has 

also become one of the nation’s leading soccer 

venues. The U.S. National Soccer Team hosted 

Mexico in May, 2003, in the two teams’ first match 

since their 2002 World Cup meeting. In 2005, Reliant 

Stadium hosted the championship matches of the 

Mexican League’s InterLiga qualification competition. 

The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo continued 

to play to a packed house in 2005, boasting such 

acts as Alicia Keys, Hilary Duff, Maroon 5, Brooks 

& Dunn and Clint Black. Reliant Stadium has also 

played host to The Rolling Stones, Metallica, 

Disney on Ice and the Ringling Brothers and 

Barnum & Bailey Circus. 

Ground broke on Reliant Stadium on March 9, 2000. 

The stadium, covering 1.9 million square feet, features 

44,000 seats on the sideline. There are 8,200 

club seats and 187 suites. The suites are the closest 

to the field in the NFL. 

With the innovation of the retractable roof, 

Houston returned to outdoor NFL action in 2002 

for the first time since Super Bowl VIII at Rice 

Stadium in 1974. The roof is made of translucent 

S I D E L I N E S 

408 

HOUSTONTEXANS.COM


Teflon-coated fiberglass fabric, and takes 10 minutes 

to open and close. When it opens, the roof 

splits at the 50-yard line and docks in the end 

zones. The roof can withstand winds as strong as 

140 miles per hour when closed and secured. 11 of 

the 32 Texans home games have been played with 

the roof closed, as was Super Bowl XXXVIII. 

The climate-controlled stadium also features a 

natural grass-playing surface. The grass is grown 

on eight-foot square trays then transported to the 

stadium. 

The Texans’ front office is located on the south end 

of the stadium, enabling the club’s day-to-day operations 

to be under one roof. Players report to the 

stadium to take part in film sessions, practice, treatment 

and training. The 10,000-square-foot weight 

room is the largest in the league. The players can 

also take advantage of a three-lane lap pool. 

Houston’s working media has its own offices and 

library on the ground level of Reliant Stadium. 

Texans head coach Gary Kubiak conducts his 

weekly press conference in the media workroom. 

His post-game press conferences are held in one 

Reliant Stadium features an open view of the playing 

field from the main concourse and on the club 

level. The main concourse is 40 feet wide, which 

makes it the largest in the NFL. Each concession 

stand has multiple televisions enabling Texans 

fans to stay on top of the action. 

Reliant Stadium can also boast a larger than life 

scoreboard. Following the trend that was started 

with the Astrodome scoreboard, Reliant Stadium 

houses two of the largest in the league. Both include 

out of town scores, down and distance, the 

game clock and a host of other traits. The video 

boards are among the largest in the NFL. 

of the team’s two media auditoriums on the ground 

level. The stadium’s press box is located on the 

eighth level of the stadium’s west side, flanking 

Kirby Drive. 

Across the street, the Texans’ training facility features 

three grass practice fields. One field is lit for 

night sessions during training camp. The Texans 

also have an indoor practice field outfitted with Field 

Turf. The air-supported structure offers the team a 

seamless transition from outdoor to indoor practice 

in case of inclement weather. The state-of-the-art 

facility also doubles as the team’s training camp 

headquarters.

the Houston Texans – and to have played a role in 

bringing the NFL back to Houston. Reliant Stadium 

represents a major investment in the city of 

Houston, but the company’s relationship with the 

Texans extends beyond the stadium and includes 

participation in community activities that impact 

children and young adults. Reliant partnered with 

the Texans to start the Reliant Energy Power 

Players Program, supporting after-school flag 

football and homework programs for the Boys 

and Girls Clubs in Houston and Galveston. Reliant 

also assists with the Texans youth outreach by 

supporting Houston-area youth football clinics, 

as well as a scholarship to benefit the city’s top 

high school student-athletes.

When owner Robert McNair formed the 

league’s 32nd franchise, he envisioned 

that the Texans’ success would reside in 

its character, attitude and enthusiasm both on and 

off the field. 

The Texans take tremendous pride in the greater 

Houston community. Whether showing support 

through community, civic or charitable efforts, the 

organization is committed to aiding the community 

that has been there to cheer on the Texans’ efforts 

from the outset. Here is a glance at some of the 

club’s continuing community endeavors. 

DEVOTED DONORS 

Donors began lining up well before the 7 a.m. start 

of the Houston Texans’ Gulf Coast Regional Blood 

Center and the Methodist Hospital’s Fourth Annual 

Blood Drive at Reliant Stadium on Oct. 11, 2005. The 

drive collected nearly 1,800 donations, as Texans 

players, cheerleaders and team mascot TORO were 

on hand to meet and greet patrons throughout the 

day. 

TEXANS TRENDSETTERS 

More than 20 players and their wives took part in the 

Fourth Annual Football with Style Fashion Show at 

the Polar Ice Rink in the Galleria Shopping Center. 

The Texans modeled an array of fashions from top 

American designers. Proceeds from ticket sales 

benefited The Houston Texans Foundation. 

THANKSGIVING FEAST 

Several Texans players served a Thanksgivingstyle 

lunch to approximately 100 children at a 

Houston-area Boys and Girls Club. The event was 

part of the Boys and Girls Club’s Kid’s Café, which 

provides nourishing, after-school snacks and hot 

meals with the help of the Houston Food Bank. 

The players served up a turkey lunch with all the 

fixings and stayed to visit with the children and sign 

autographs. 

GETTING A HEAD START 

The Texans hosted more than 200 juniors and seniors 

from universities around the state for the 

Third Annual “Join the Team: Integrating Business 

and Sports” Career Seminar at Reliant Stadium. 

The students participated in seminars led by guest 

speakers from the Texans front office, as well as 

representatives from sports marketing, business 

and journalism fields. The forum provided students 

an opportunity to get an early jump on pursuing a 

career in the sports industry. 

SHOW AND TELL 

Ten lucky students were able to bring some of their 

favorite Texans into their elementary school world 

as part of “Take a Texan to School Sweepstakes,” 

sponsored by the Houston Texans and the Houston 

Chronicle. Winners completed an entry form for a 

chance to win a one-hour assembly with a Houston 

Texans player, cheerleader or TORO. The Texans 

participated in a classroom visit, full assembly or 

pep rally at the designated schools in Houston and 

surrounding areas. 

FRIENDLY COMPETITION 

Texans kicker Kris Brown showed off his fancy footwork, 

while linebacker Kailee Wong and running 

back Domanick Davis displayed their artistic talent, 

as part of the Second Annual Methodist Hospital 

Pep Rally. Hospital employees and Texans players 

race against time to compete in throwing, catching 

and cheering competitions. 

MAKING ROUNDS 

Throughout the fall, the Texans players spend much 

of their Tuesday off-time visiting various places 

around the Houston community. One of the stops 

this past season was at a senior citizens center, 

where three players joined a group of Texans staff 

members for a morning visit. Kicker Kris Brown and 

defensive tackle Seth Payne faced stiff competition 

during a round of bingo at the Sheltering Arms 

Senior Citizens Center. The ladies and gentlemen 

invited the group of Texans to spend some time 

visiting, signing autographs, sharing stories and 

playing games in the social hall. 

HOMETOWN HUDDLE 

As part of the Texans’ continuing involvement with 

the United Way, running back Domanick Davis and 

other players spent time at a senior citizens center, 

where they assisted in designing a sports room 

for the seniors. The players painted Texans Logos, 

arranged furniture and even managed to play a 

few games of bingo at the Sheltering Arms Senior 

Citizens Center. The ladies and gentlemen invited the 

group of Texans to spend some time visiting, signing 

autographs, sharing stories and playing games in 

the social hall. The players were among other United 

Way volunteers to take part in Hometown Huddle

HOUSTON TEXANS FOUNDATION 

The Houston Texans Foundation 

is committed to encouraging 

and enabling all youth and 

families in Houston and the 

surrounding area to reach their 

full potential and to achieve 

success. The Foundation seeks 

to assist through educational, 

financial, volunteer and collaborative support while 

administering programs that develop strong minds 

and bodies, with an emphasis on leadership, integrity 

and character for the youth who will become the 

leaders of the next generation. 

The Texans Foundation provides substantial 

financial support to Boys and Girls Country, Child 

Advocates, John P. McGovern Museum of Health 

and Medical Science, Juvenile Diabetes Research 

Foundation, Rebuilding Together and Heart of a 

Champion Character Education programs. 

TICKET DONATION PROGRAMS 

Through its ticket donation programs, the Houston 

Texans Foundation assisted 71 non-profit organizations 

and enabled a total of 4,592 students, parents 

and chaperones to attend Houston Texans home 

games during the 2005 season. 

IMAGENET ALL-STAR TICKET PROGRAM 

The ImageNet All-Star Ticket Program allowed 

more than 1,000 at-risk youth from ages 9-17 to earn 

tickets to a Texans home game by developing and 

implementing a community service project, setting 

and accomplishing individual goals and signing a 

pledge card to remain smoke, alcohol and drug free. 

Tickets donated by ImageNet and food coupons 

donated by ARAMARK were awarded to youth 

football, church and school groups. 

RELIANT ENERGY POWER PLAYERS PROGRAM 

During the 2005 season, the Reliant Energy Power 

Players program focused on eight Boys & Girls Club 

locations within the Greater Houston and Galveston 

area. Each Tuesday prior to a Houston Texans home 

game, representatives from the Texans Foundation 

and community relations departments, along with 

Texans Cheerleaders Rolanda and Ginger and 

players Dunta Robinson and Jason Babin, traveled 

to each facility to interact with the children. The 

cheerleaders and players delivered motivational 

speeches, conducted drills and clinics, and signed 

autographs. All participants were required to attend 

“Power Hour,” a one-hour per week intensive study 

session. Reliant Energy provided 100 general admission 

tickets, and 100 food coupons were provided 

by ARAMARK to each Texans regular season home 

game. The goal of the program is to promote good 

study habits and to reward those children and young 

adults who attain set goals during the school year. 

SWING AWAY 

The Houston Texans players and coaches traded 

the gridiron for the golf links on Monday, May 9, 2005, 

for the third annual Houston Texans Charity Golf 

Classic, presented by Verizon Wireless. Twenty-six 

teams competed at the beautiful River Oaks Country 

Club for the top spot in the tournament. A hole-inone 

contest and a raffle for Super Bowl tickets only 

added to the competition! The golfers participating 

in the Charity Golf Classic generated more than 

$182,000 for the primary charities supported by the 

Houston Texans Foundation. 

DRIVING THROUGH THE COMMUNITY 

The Houston Texans Foundation joined forces with 

Houston non-profit groups to hold stadium drives 

during several Houston Texans home games. The 

Foundation teamed up with the U.S. Marines to 

collect toys at the Toys for Tots Drive, and also partnered 

with the Houston Food Bank for the gameday 

Food Drive at Reliant Stadium. In addition, fans 

came through with flying colors, donating reading 

materials for the Book Drive, held by the Houston 

READ Commission and Houston and Harris County 

Libraries. Verizon Wireless also partnered with the 

Houston Texans Foundation in the Cell Phone drive 

to benefit the Houston area Women’s Center and 

the Woman’s Home. 

HONORING HOUSTON’S COMMUNITY HEROES 

The Houston Texans Foundation presented five outstanding 

volunteers with the 2005 NFL Community 

Quarterback Award. Each recipient was recognized 

for dedicating his or her time to a wide range of 

Houston organizations, from the Mental Health 

Association to the Girl Scouts. The nominees were 

honored at a Houston Texans home game and were 

presented with a grant of $1,000 at a reception held 

at the United Way Center of the Texas Gulf Coast. 





The Community Quarterback Award is affiliated with 

the NFL program that distributes nearly $1 million 

annually to non-profit organizations nationwide. 

HOUSTON TEXANS TEAM LUNCHEON 

Hundreds of raving Houston Texans fans traveled to 

the Westin Galleria on Aug. 31, 2005, for the Second

2005 football season. Guests enjoyed eating lunch

KLAT La Tremenda 1010 AM is proud to be the flagship Spanish-language radio broadcaster of the 

Houston Texans for the fifth consecutive season. Representing 37.4 percent of Houston’s 1.9 million 

people, the Hispanic community offers a huge fan base for the Texans. Since the team’s inception, the 

Texans have realized the power of Hispanic Houston and recognized how many long-time fans they stood 

to gain. It’s no wonder they turned to Houston’s Heritage Spanish Station, La Tremenda, to reach Hispanic 

fans with their broadcast. So get your team spirit pumping, strap on the pads and ask yourself: Are you 

ready for some fútbol Americano? 

La Tremenda 1010 AM is owned and operated by Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanishlanguage 

media company in the United States, which currently owns and/or operates 68 radio stations in 

17 of the top 25 U.S. Hispanic markets and four stations in Puerto Rico. In Houston, they also broadcast 

KLTN-FM (Estereo Latino 102.9 FM), KOVE-FM (Recuerdo 106.5FM), KQBU-FM (Que Buena 93.3 FM), 

KRTX-AM (Tejano 980 AM) and KPTY-FM (Party 104.9 FM). 

An avid sports fan, Rolando Becerra will continue to serve as the play-by-play voice for the Texans on 

La Tremenda. Becerra is the only Hispanic commentator to have done play-by-play broadcasts for five 

major sports teams: the Houston Astros (1986-1992), the Houston Rockets (1988-1993), the Houston Oilers 

(1995-1997), the Houston Aeros (1999-2000) and the Texans (2002-05). 

Becerra, originally from Cuba, began his radio career in Miami in 1973. He’s been a Houston resident and 

radio constant for more than 30 years. You can also catch him on KLAT-AM as host of “Hoy Con Rolando 

Becerra,” which airs Monday through Friday from 6-9 a.m. Becerra has been married to his wife, Jenny, 

for 38 years and they are parents to four children: Barbra, Jason, Jaron and Megan. 

Enrique Vasquez returns to handle color commentary duties for Texans broadcasts on La Tremenda. 

Vasquez came back to the Houston football scene after a two-year run doing color commentary for the 

Dallas Cowboys, where he also did play-by-play in the late 1990s. He has also done sports broadcasting 

for Fox Sports, covering everything from basketball to the Olympics to Super Bowls. Some Texans fans 

and La Tremenda listeners may remember Vasquez as one of the Spanish broadcast voices for the 

Houston Oilers from 1992 to 1995. Vasquez also writes a popular weekly column for the Spanish section 

of HoustonTexans.com.

FUTURE OPPONENTS 

Here are the Texans’ non-division opponents for the 

next three seasons based on the NFL’s scheduling 

rotation. 

The Texans played a key role in the development of 

the scheduling rotation. When the franchise entered 

play in 2002, bringing the league to 32 teams, the NFL 

realigned for the first time since 1970. The scheduling 

rotation, which began in 2002, takes each team through 

a cycle of games—home and away—against every 

other team in the league. By 2009, the Texans will have 

played every team in the NFL at least twice—once in 

Houston and once on the road. 

The Texans’ 16-game schedule will include each of the 

following: 

• Home and away games against Indianapolis, 

Jacksonville and Tennessee (6 games) 

• The four teams from another AFC division on a 

rotating three-year cycle (4 games) 

• The four teams from an NFC division on a rotating 

four-year cycle (4 games) 

• Two games—one home and one away—against 

a team from the two AFC divisions that the Texans 

are not scheduled to face that season. These 

games will be based on the prior year’s standing, 

matching a first-place team against the first-place 

finishers from the other two AFC divisions. The 

second-place, third-place, and fourth-place 

finishers will matched in the same way.
