The storyline
This should be a nice bounce-back game for the Texans with the Raiders coming off a haunting defeat due in large part to special teams.

Why you should watch
Oakland coach Tom Cable might have to juggle quarterbacks throughout the season, now. Raiders running back Darren McFadden is rounding into form, though.

Did you know?
The Texans have won three consecutive road games. ... Houston's Kevin Walter has a touchdown catch in his last three outings. ... Of Raiders wideout Darrius Heyward-Bey's 19 career catches, 17 have gone for first downs. ... Oakland's Chris Johnson has an interception in his last two games vs. Houston.
