NASHVILLE -- Gary Kubiak can tell his Houston Texans are maturing both as a franchise and as a championship contender with a simple glance around his locker room. beats outlet . This time, they acted like theyve been in the playoffs before. Yes, the Texans are excited by clinching a second straight post-season berth and setting a franchise record for wins in a season by beating the Tennessee Titans 24-10 on Sunday. "Were very happy, I can tell you that," Kubiak said. "But I think they expected to get there, and they got there today. Theres a lot more to work on. Weve got to continue to push our group." Rookie linebacker Whitney Mercilus recovered a fumble and had two sacks as the Texans (11-1) remain tied with Atlanta for the best record in the NFL with their sixth straight win. After needing overtime the past two games, the Texans forced six turnovers they turned into 10 points and had six sacks of Jake Locker when the Texans werent batting down a handful of other passes. Houston is 6-0 on the road this season, the only unbeaten team away from home. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, injured when Houston clinched its first post-season berth a year ago against Cincinnati, called this a great feeling. "Its good to know were in," Schaub said. "Its a great feeling to know that weve reached that goal, but weve got a lot more to accomplish." The Texans also swept Tennessee (4-8), the team they replaced in Houston, for only the second time. Schaub threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns, and Arian Foster ran for a TD. The Titans debuted new offensive co-ordinator Dowell Loggains, but they didnt help him much as receivers repeatedly dropped balls in losing their second straight. "To work so hard to turn things around and go out and have a performance like that is very frustrating," Titans running back Chris Johnson said. Tennessee scored on a 34-yard pass from Locker to Kenny Britt late in the third quarter to pull within 24-10. The Titans had plenty of chances, including third-and-3 at the Houston 7 early in the fourth quarter before Locker was sacked and fumbled on fourth down. Darryl Sharpton sealed the win with the third interception with 2:05 left. Locker finished with two fumbles and three interceptions. "I guess thats why were 4-8," Titans coach Mike Munchak said. "We cant make enough plays to win when we have an opportunity." The Texans avoided all the late-game dramatics needed in beating first Jacksonville, then Detroit in overtime in a span of five days. But their injury list grew. Linebackers Bradie James and Brooks Reed, cornerback Johnathan Joseph and right tackle Derek Newton all sat out. Cornerback Brice McCain hurt his foot and couldnt finish. Tight end Garrett Graham also suffered a head injury and couldnt finish. Houston improved on last seasons 10 wins with Schaub completing four of his first five passes for 78 yards on the opening drive. Schaub also connected with James Casey on a 5-yard pass for a 14-3 lead in the second quarter. By halftime, Schaub was 15 of 24 for 167 yards with a 110.9 passer rating, and he finished 21 of 35, completing passes to eight teammates, including himself off a batted ball he pulled in for a 6-yard loss. "Our defence really won the game for us," Schaub said. "They created all those turnovers and stops on fourth down. The game ball goes to the defence because we werent holding up our end on offence." Shaun Cody tipped Lockers pass to Houston linebacker Tim Dobbins, a Nashville native, who ran it 7 yards to the Tennessee 3 before Locker knocked him up into the air. Arian Foster scored on a 2-yard TD run two plays later for a 21-3 lead midway through the second quarter. Shayne Graham added a 50-yard field goal in the third quarter after Mercilus recovered Lockers fumble forced by Antonio Smith. That was all Houston needed with the defence disrupting Tennessee repeatedly, even though the Titans wound up with a 354-332 edge in total offence with two offensive linemen knocked out of the game with injuries. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt had another sack, giving him 15 1-2, adding to his franchise record for a season and joining Reggie White as the only NFL players with at least 15 sacks and 13 passes defenced in a season. Watt batted down a couple of passes, giving him 15 for the season. "Obviously, weve had some struggles the last two weeks, but today is what were used to and the way were used to playing with the turnovers and the momentum swings," Watt said. Smith had a sack and recovered a fumble by Johnson he ran to the end zone waving the ball in the air, thinking and hoping he had a TD in the second quarter. But officials had whistled the play dead at the spot of the turnover.

LOUIS -- The St.EDMONTON - Sam Gagner made the most of his move to the Edmonton Oilers top line. Gagner scored a pair of goals and added an assist as the Oilers snapped a two-game losing skid with a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. Gagner who came into the game with one goal in 21 games this season, said it was a relief to have a break-out game. "It definitely feels good to turn things around," he said. "There have been times this year where it has been frustrating. You want to contribute to the wins and I have felt like the last little while I have been playing better. Its a good feeling." The 22-year-old forward now has 10 points in his last nine games. Ben Eager and Jordan Eberle also scored for the Oilers (14-12-3), who had won just one of their previous six games. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two assists. He has 32 points this season, leading all rookies. "It was huge for us to bounce back like this," Nugent-Hopkins said. "Tonight we stuck to the game plan and it really paid off. Especially against a team like this." Oilers head coach Tom Renney was glad to see his team return to form after a pair of sub-par performances. "It was a much better effort," he said. "We had a bigger commitment to the little things that you need to pay attention to if you want to be successful. "I got the sense this morning that the players had had enough and were going to do something about it." Jay McClement replied for the Avalanche (13-16-1), who have lost three in a row and eight straight on the road. "We got caught out of position too many times and they took advantage of it," said Colorado captain Milan Hejduk. "We need to play with more pride. We didnt execute. "We got down early and started to try and chase the game. Thats not how you win in this league. We have to have a hard look in the mirror and bounce back." Edmonton opened the scoring six minutes into the game on a great individual effort by Gagner. He stole tthe puck from Shane OBrien in the corner and went hard to the net, getting his own rebound off of Kyle Quincey and tucking a power-play goal underneath Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov. monster beats by dr dre headphones. The Oilers made it 2-0 in the final minute of the opening period as Eager was allowed to get three whacks at the puck before finally chipping in his second of the season. Colorado cut into the lead three and a half minutes into the second period. Edmonton goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin missed on an attempt to catch the puck as it came off the boards. It ended up in front of McClement, who swatted it in before Khabibulin could recover. Edmonton went up 3-1 midway through the second period on a power-play goal as Nugent-Hopkins made a cross-ice feed through Gagners legs to Eberle, who blasted a shot into the net over Varlamovs shoulder. It was Eberles 30th point of the season. Khabibulin atoned for his earlier mistake as he stoned Daniel Winnik on a breakaway with seven minutes left in the game. He then stopped Winniks rebound attempt and then another rebound shot by David Jones. The Oilers took a three-goal at the end of the second period as Nugent-Hopkins fed Gagner on a 2-on-1 opportunity for his second of the game.
