"Jones steps into Johnson's shoes

Receiver Andre Johnson was unable to play because of his high ankle sprain. Jacoby Jones did a reasonable impersonation of Johnson by catching five passes for 115 yards, including a 47-yard reception.

"Those were some big, big shoes to fill," Jones said. "My expectations were to step up and play well, but when you lose, it makes me feel like I didn't play well."

Johnson did play well. He made his first catch on the first touchdown drive in the first quarter, an 11-yarder. On the second touchdown drive that gave the Texans a 14-0 lead, he had receptions of 47 and 34 yards.

"The first time I catch a pass, it gives me the confidence that I'm going to do well," Jones said."
