When the?Houston Texans?gave quarterback Brock Osweiler the?four-year, $72 million deal that the Denver Broncos wouldnt this offseason, some?questioned the move.A quick poll of a few NFL front-office executives indicates that they believe the Texans made the right call. They believe the 6-foot-7 Osweiler is an accurate passer and good leader who can manage an offense supported by a good running game and a top defense. The $72 million price tag seemed high to some execs, but thats the price of a quarterback these days.New England Patriots?coach?Bill Belichick?is apparently a believer. Texans coach Bill OBrien told me that he ran into his former boss at the owners meetings, and Belichick gave him a thumbs-up on the Osweiler deal. With Osweiler behind center, the Broncos beat the Patriots in November. The QB?was?23-of-42 passing for 270 yards with one?touchdown and one interception.He said Brock played well against the Patriots, and he felt he was a good football player, OBrien said.Belichick and the Patriots get another chance to see how good Osweiler and his new team are?Thursday night.Osweiler has been just OK?in his first two starts for the Texans. He has completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 499 yards with three touchdown passes and three interceptions. His 65.3 Total QBR ranks in the middle of the pack in the league, but its better than his 58.3 from the past season.For the Texans to improve on last seasons AFC South title and first-round playoff exit, they need more from Osweiler.?Heres a closer look at how Osweiler and the Texans season could go.

NEW YORK -- For Henrik Lundqvist, the focus is not on recording shutouts. Instead, the emphasis is just on playing well -- individually and as a team.Shutouts, he reasoned, are satisfying byproducts of everyone perfectly executing the game plan.Every goalie, you feel good about your game when you get a shutout, Lundqvist said after making a season-high 35 saves for his 60th career shutout to lead the New York Rangers to a 5-0 win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night. Every game youre looking for the complete game (where) you dont give up goals, obviously. Its a good feeling when you do that.Jimmy Vesey had a goal and two assists, and Dan Girardi, Rick Nash, Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes also scored for New York, which has won seven of its first 10 games.Chris Kreider, who missed the previous four games due to neck spasms, had two assists as 11 Rangers players recorded at least one point.Were making plays when theyre there, defenseman Marc Staal said. Its allowing us to be effective and right now were scoring on chances which helps, for sure.Jake Allen started in goal for St. Louis and allowed four goals on 19 shots until he was replaced by Carter Hutton after Zuccarello made it 4-0 with 7:05 remaining in the second. Hutton stopped eight of the nine shots he faced. The Blues lost for the third time in five games.Thats a hell of a team, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. They gave us a hell of a lesson. They are playing great team hockey and they just exposed any weakness we had. They exposed it. Theyve done it to a few teams.The Rangers led 2-0 after goals 1:34 apart midway through the first period. Giradi opened the scoring 9:37 in with a 4-on-4 goal at 9:37 as his shot ricocheted off the skate of the Blues Vladimir Tarasenko and bounced off the ice and past Allens glove side.Vesey then doubled the lead 1:34 later on the power play as he skated down the slot and snapped a pass from Derek Stepan past Allens stick for his sixth of the season.Im starting to get really confident out there and try some things I might not have tried a couple games ago, Vesey said. I think confidence is everything in this game and right now its high. ... I am riding that.Nash scored his fifth of thhe season 6:18 into the second to extend the advantage to 3-0.dddddddddddd Vesey began the sequence by intercepting Kevin Shattenkirks clearing pass in the neutral zone, then carried the puck into the offensive zone where he found Nash, who banked a shot off Allen from behind the net.Zuccarellos power play tap-in 6:37 later made it 4-0, and prompted Hitchcock to replace Allen with Hutton.Hayes got one past Hutton 5:07 later as he finished a passing sequence with Vesey and J.T. Miller with his third of the season.Lundqvist, who entered the game with a .901 save percentage and 2.45 goals-against average, wasnt consistently tested by the Blues, but was strong when called upon and got his first shutout of the season. Lundqvists toughest save was a sprawling pad stop on Robby Fabbri late in the first period.Ive been feeling good the last few weeks, Lundqvist said. This was a game where I was more involved.The Rangers entered the game leading the NHL in goals per game at 3.89 and were tied with Philadelphia for the most goals scored (35). The Blues came in fourth in goals allowed per game (2.22) and tied for fifth in total goals allowed (20).New York finished the game 2 for 5 on the man advantage, while the Blues were unable to convert on their two chances.Right now the guys are finding the options and getting some real good looks on it, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said of his teams power play, which is converting 23.7 percent of its chances.Game notes Blues D Jay Bouwmeester dressed in his 1,000th NHL game.
