The Dolphins and Houston Texans are the only two NFL teams that the Panthers have not defeated in their history. Carolina's Fox is 0-1 all-time against the Dolphins, while Miami's Tony Sparano will be meeting both Fox and the Panthers for the first time as a head coach. The teams |

Fast Fact: The Dolphins (3-0 against Carolina) and Houston Texans (2-0) are the only two NFL teams that the Panthers have not defeated in their history. Prediction: Absence of Brown will have a noticeable effect on the Dolphins, who will have to lean too much on Chad Henne in a key game for both teams. Panthers 21 |

It was a great effort by our guys." TEXANS: Clearly, there is little time for the Houston Texans to dip their collective toe back in the water following the team's Week 10 bye. At 5-4, the Texans' margin for error if they wish to keep their playoff hopes intact is slim. The opponent for Houston in Week 11 will be one that Gary Kubiak's team kno |

After presiding over a defense-fueled win at Carolina the following week, Fitzpatrick was not able to find any magic in a 31-10 loss to the Houston Texans, which preceded Buffalo's Week 9 bye. The Bills (3-5) could not hang onto a 10-9 lead as the fourth-quarter began, surrendering 22 final-frame points in the loss that had the faithful in Western New York once again questioning the direction of the t |

BILLS: As they come off a bye that was preceded by a dispiriting home loss to the Houston Texans, the main storyline coming out of Buffalo Bills camp revolves around the quarterback position. Of course, the discussion has less to do with Dick Jauron's decision to start either Trent Edwards or Ryan Fitzpatrick, and more with a quarterback that i |

| (MySportsbook) - Even on a day when the Indianapolis Colts effectively wrapped up the AFC South, the penetrating questions came. Even as they moved to 8-0 with their 20-17 victory over the pesky Houston Texans, joining the New Orleans Saints as one of only two unbeatens in the NFL in 2009, the Colts could be found almost apologizing for their play. Such are the expectations that come with carving out a reputation as one of the league's most prolific offenses, one led by perhaps the greatest signal-caller o |

| IANAPOLIS (AP) -Peyton Manning is the first NFL quarterback to pass for 40,000 yards in any decade. Manning needed 19 yards to reach the milestone. He did it on a 5-yard completion to Pierre Garcon in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. That could be the first of many accomplishments for Manning on Sunday. If the Colts win, Manning will tie Fran Tarkenton for fourth place on the career wins list for quarterbacks with 125. He also needs four touchdown passes to become the first i |

Although a rough outing against Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans back in Week 6 proved that it is possible to move the ball on the Cincinnati defense, that 472-yard offensive performance was more the exception than the rule for a Bengals group that handled the Ravens attack and more recently coaxed the Bears' Jay |

| (MySportsbook) - There will be no hats and shirts declaring that the Indianapolis Colts are AFC South champions on the premises at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. Should they prevail over the second-place Houston Texans, the Colts will not have officially clinched anything. The operative word there is "officially." A win for Indianapolis - which has never lost to the Texans at home in seven all-time meetings - would give the Colts a cavernous four-game lead in the division with eight contests left to play, an |
