Texans 13, Browns 6

Notes:

-- Brady Quinn is trying to go to Kellen Winslow. His first pass for Winslow in the quarter was into tight coverage and went incomplete. Winslow wanted a flag, but it looked like a good no-call. The second came on third-and-6 from the Houston 14 and Quinn appeared to throw the ball before Winslow was expecting it coming off of a cut to the sidelines.

-- Shaun Rogers' blocked field goal was his second this season. He has 13 in his career. We'll see if that play does something to spark the Browns' defense, which has been run over so far.

-- That 42-yard catch by Braylon Edwards to the Houston 19? That's why the Browns drafted him. Only a handful of receivers in the league make that play.

-- Then again, a lot of receivers catch the ball over the middle, thrown slightly behind Edwards, that he couldn't handle three plays later. The Browns had to settle for Phil Dawson's second field goal of the quarter.

-- The Browns haven't come close to stopping Houston's offense. The Texans drove at least to the Cleveland 31 on each of their first three drives of the half. Sage Rosenfels completed 16-of-20 passes -- one of those was an intentional spike to kill the clock -- for 190 yards and a touchdown. The Texans also rushed for 73 yards and didn't punt.

-- The Texans converted three times on fourth down, twice on Ahman Green runs and once on a 23-yard pass from Rosenfels to Andre Johnson that went to the Browns' 13-yard-line just before halftime. That led to Kris Brown's 31-yard field goal with three seconds left in the half.

-- Darnell Dinkins is back.

-- John Dudley
