HOUSTON -- Another lopsided loss on the road has the Houston Texans searching for ways to jumpstart their stalled offense.The Texans fell to 3-2 with a 31-13 loss at the undefeated Vikings on Sunday in a game that illustrated that quarterback Brock Osweiler has plenty of room for improvement.I need to play better, he said. I need to do my job better, and as an entire team we need to play better.Osweiler isnt off to a great start in his first season in Houston after the Texans lured him away from Denver this offseason with a massive $72 million contract. Hes thrown seven interceptions and just six touchdown passes.His seven interceptions are tied with Ryan Tannehill for third-most in the league behind former Houston quarterback Ryan Fitzpatricks 10 and Jameis Winston, who has eight entering Monday night.Osweiler leads an offense that ranks 29th in the NFL by averaging just 208.6 yards passing a game. Houstons offense was terrible on third downs on Sunday, converting just one of 13 opportunities. Osweiler often seemed frazzled in the pocket and once bounced a short pass to a wide open receiver.Of course, the quarterback isnt the only one to blame for Houstons woes. Hes playing behind a line that allowed four sacks on Sunday and that let him be hit 13 times against the Vikings.Despite Osweilers struggles, coach Bill OBrien refused to criticize him, instead taking the blame for the teams poor performance.I think overall Ive been happy with the way the guy has prepared, havent been happy with the way the offense has played, not blaming it on anybody, except right here, OBrien said pointing at himself.OBrien also didnt blame the line for not protecting Osweiler better, claiming that the excessive number of hits he took were because he didnt call the right plays.Another area of concern for this offense is that Osweiler failed to get the ball to star receiver DeAndre Hopkins enough to impact the game. Hopkins had a touchdown late on Sunday, but it was after the game was already out of hand.He finished with five receptions for 56 yards, but had no receptions at halftime. This came a week after Hopkins was limited to one catch for 4 yards in a win over the Titans.Didnt get involved until late (Sunday), we need to do that earlier obviously, OBrien said. We know what a player he is ... and so were going to work really hard to try to figure out how to get him the ball more often.Hopkins was asked about the struggles of the offense on Monday and how they can correct things to improve this week. He was unusually short in his response to this question and all other queries thrown his way.Working every day, he said. Nobodys perfect.Its clear that teams focus on limiting Hopkins every week and often double team him. Despite that, Osweiler knows that he has to do a better job of getting the ball to both him and rookie Will Fuller , who was held to one reception for 4 yards against Minnesota.The bottom line, if the receivers are not getting the ball, who is the first person you need to look at? It is me, Osweiler said.I need to play better and I need to find a way, regardless of what the defense is doing, to get those guys the football.As bleak as things looked on Sunday, the Texans still lead the AFC South , and a win against the Colts would push their cushion to two games against Indy in the division.Weve got a lot of good things ahead of us if we can correct a lot of these things, OBrien said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Mike Hughes Vikings Jersey .

That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Kirk Cousins Vikings Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner.Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has been named the first unanimous NBA Most Valuable Player, winning the award for a second successive season. Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard to do so since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06.Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the US and Canada, and was followed in the vote by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City team-mates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry is the first two-time winner in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner. After guiding Golden State to its first championship in 40 years, Currys side took that success even further to finish with 73 regular-season wins to top the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10.In a stunning overtime performance on Monday night, Curry showed exactly how he can take over a game in a matter of seconds. He returned from a sprained right knee to score 40 points, and 17 more in overtime, in a 132-125 win at Portland to put his team up 3-1 in the Western Conference semi-finals.I figureed that hed find his stroke and make a few shots, but I mean that was, that was crazy, said Golden state Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who was voted NBA Coach of the Year last month.dddddddddddd Stephen Curry averaged an NBA-best 30.1 points per game The reason Steph [Curry] is as good as he is because he can score from anywhere.
