Andre Johnson proved on Sunday that he is the toughest player in the NFL. After catching a big 44-yard pass on what would be the go-ahead drive for the Texans Johnson fell on the ball, causing a chest contusion. He started coughing up blood and was taken to the sideline. He returned to the game briefly after that, but when he came off the sidelines again the Texans medical staff hid his helmet so he couldn’t go back out on the field. He was taken to the hospital after the game and X-rays showed no broken ribs and his prognosis for next week’s game against Buffalo is good.
A Madden video game has predicted the Raiders struggles will continue versus the Texans this week in a 27 to 13 loss. Steve Slaton rushed for over 130 yards and Matt Schaub passed for nearly 250 more. JaMarcus Russell of the Raiders only passed for 125 yards and threw 2 touchdowns, continuing speculation that he’ll be benched.
Texans rookie tight end Anthony Hill has the first confirmed case of swine flu in the NFL this season. He was hospitalized but should be fine in a few days. If you’ve received an autograph from Hill in the past week, it might be a good idea to avoid contact with others and drink a lot of orange juice. Oh, and Campbell’s soup is also quite good.
