| (Best E Casino) - The Texans took a baby step last Sunday by winning their first game of the season, but will likely find victory more difficult to accomplish this week with a road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Houston gave its home crowd something to cheer about, finally, by posting a 19-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Jaguars, meanwhile, had a week off to prepare for the St. Louis Rams, but it didn't matter, as Jacksonville dropped a 24-21 decision at the Edward Jones Dome. It was a setback f |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Defensive tackle John Henderson joined the Jacksonville Jaguars' injured list and is probable for this week's game after hurting his knee in practice Thursday. Henderson joins fellow defensive tackle Marcus Stroud on the injury report, which now has six Jaguars listed for Sunday's game against Houston. Stroud, who hasn't missed a game during his five-year NFL career, is questionable and hasn't practiced the past two days after hurting his ankle against the Rams. The Jaguars banged |

The Rams were playing without injured starters Marc Bulger, Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce, but got a huge game from running back Steven Jackson as well as a long touchdown pass and a blocked punt for a score.

On the strength of their special teams and emerging star Steven Jackson, the Rams trumped a solid Jacksonville Jaguars team, 24-21, on Sunday. The win moved them to 4-4, and 2-1 under interim head coach Joe Vitt. "This was a great win for our football team," said Vitt.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars are consistently inconsistent. Last year, they followed consecutive victories against Kansas City and Indianapolis with an embarrassing loss at Houston. They also had a rare win at Green Bay in December that put them in playoff contention, then inexplicably were shut out at home against the Texans. Jacksonville (4-3) continued the trend Sunday, following back-to-back wins against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh with a 24-21 loss at St. Louis, which played without |

Vitt told players about the procedure after Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but did not mention his plans to the media. In an angioplasty, a balloon is inserted through a tube and inflated to open blood vessels in the heart that have narrowed or become blocked.
