Texans' WR feeling Super

AndreJohnson
Although his team has yet to make the playoffs in its short history, Houston Texans wideout Andre Johnson has high hopes, telling the Associated Press, "I play this game of football for only one reason and that's to win. I don't play it for anything else. When you go over guys' careers, of all the former guys that have played, the first question they ask is how many Super Bowls have they won. So that's my goal. To win as many Super Bowls as I can before my time is up."

In order to win the Super Bowl - or, ya know, just make the playoffs - the Texans will probably try to get out to a better start than they did in 2008. Hurricane Ike forced an adjustment to the team's schedule, and they began the campaign going winless in their first four games.

It also doesn't help having to face the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans twice each, but Johnson is confident as long as the team's rushing attack with Steve Slaton continues to excel. "When you have a consistent running game it opens up everything else," Johnson told the AP. "You don't have to become one-dimensional and it works well for the play action. You have to run the ball to be successful so as long as we keep running the ball, we're going to be successful."
