Last week

Keep your eye on ...
Slaton's surge: So much for hitting that rookie wall. Houston's third-round draft pick ran for a season-high 156 yards against the Colts. This week he faces a 28th-ranked Browns run defense that gave up 186 rushing yards to the Bills.

Rookie Xavier Adibi: An injury to starter Morlon Greenwood gave the Texans' linebacker out of Virginia Tech his first start and he responded with a team-high 14 tackles, 13 of which were unassisted. At 3-7, the Texans may decide a raw talent such as Adibi deserves a longer look.

Quinn targeting Edwards: Braylon Edwards caught a season-high eight passes for 104 yards against the Bills. Brady Quinn targeted Edwards 16 times Monday night and will likely continue that trend against Houston's 17th-ranked secondary.
