OAKLAND, Calif. -- J.J. Watt has spent his NFL career disrupting offences, batting down passes and piling up sacks. Now theres another skill he can bring to the table. Watt caught a 1-yard touchdown pass, Arian Foster ran for 138 yards and a score and the Houston Texans won their second straight game to open the season, beating the Oakland Raiders 30-14 on Sunday. Instead of controlling the game from his usual defensive end position, Watt made his biggest impact on the opening drive. He lined up as a tight end and caught a pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to get Houston (2-0) started. "Any way I can help the team win," Watt said. "If thats a way that I can help the team and continue to help the team, then Ill do that." After losing their final 14 games in a two-win season in 2013, the Texans have opened 2014 with back-to-back wins under new coach Bill OBrien. The home opener for the Raiders (0-2) hardly could have gone worse as they fell behind 27-0 after three quarters. "Theyre excited to see their Raiders and what was that that we put out there on the field today?" safety Charles Woodson said. "Thats embarrassing. Im embarrassed for this team, Im embarrassed for the fans." They turned the ball over four times, including one bizarre instance where Johnathan Joseph stripped James Jones twice on the same slapstick play that defined this game for Oakland. Jones caught a 20-yard pass from Derek Carr late in the first half before getting stripped by Joseph at the Houston 35. Jones picked the ball up and ran toward the end zone, but Joseph knocked the ball out again from behind and D.J. Swearinger recovered at the Texans 3. That was one of four Raiders turnovers in scoring territory. Carr moved Oakland downfield with a 41-yard run early in the second quarter only to negate that good play by throwing an interception by Kareem Jackson that set up Randy Bullocks first of three field goals. Mychal Rivera then fumbled a catch early in the third quarter and Joseph returned it 49 yards to set up Fitzpatricks second TD pass, a 12-yarder to DeAndre Hopkins that made it 24-0. That got the boo birds out in earnest. Fitzpatrick finished 14 for 19 for 139 yards to beat the Raiders for the third time in as many starts with as many teams. He led last-minute comebacks for Buffalo in 2011 and Tennessee last season before enjoying an easier win this time. "Were very fortunate and happy to be 2-0, but weve got to keep getting better," Fitzpatrick said. "Ive got to get better. Theyve got to get better and hopefully keep heading down that path." The frustration for the home crowd that has endured 11 straight seasons without a winning record began on the opening drive. The Texans easily moved the ball downfield with help from Fosters 40-yard run. On second-and-goal at the 1, Watt lined up at tight end and was wide open in the end zone when two Oakland defenders covered Foster. Watt caught his first pass since his days as a tight end at Central Michigan in 2007 to give the Texans the lead. "Weve been working on that for a while," OBrien said. "Look, youve got a guy there who is such a great athlete at 6-foot-7, 290 pounds. Hes got really good hands. You should probably try to get him in there once in a while on offence." Watt didnt do much defensively until his hit on Carr led to an interception by Brooks Reed late in the fourth quarter. Foster, who has back-to-back 100-yard rushing games in his return from back surgery, scored on a 5-yard run on Houstons second drive to make it 14-0. The Texans outgained the Raiders 150-3 in the first quarter and things didnt get much better for Oakland. "Thats a recipe for getting your butt kicked," coach Dennis Allen said. "I told the players in there just now, the only people that can change it are the people that are in that locker room, coaches and players. Weve got to make a conscious decision to get this thing changed." Playing against the team that drafted his big brother David first overall in 2002, Derek Carr went 27 for 42 for 263 yards with a late TD pass to James Jones and two interceptions.

It was just before half time when Portland midfielder Kalif Alhassan scored to put the home side up by two on route to a 4-0 victory over the Reds at Jeld-Wen Field, snapping TFCs two-game unbeaten streak. "It really got away from us. Before the second goal, everything was going to plan," said Nelsen. "Unfortunately it was a mistake from a young centre back (Gale Agbossoumonde) who was brilliant on the night. "He was having such a great game, but hell learn from that." Agbossoumondes error in the 83rd minute allowed Wallace to net Portlands second goal, turning what had been a close game into a rout as Rodney Wallace, Will Johnson and Diego Valeri all scored in the final ten minutes for Portland. TFC captain Steven Caldwell agreed with Nelsen, saying the Timbers second goal was the turning point. "We were in the game and started to assert ourselves a little bit and had a bit of momentum," Caldwell said. "And then, of course, we gave away the second goal, which was a poor goal from us. So then we got a wee bit loose and a wee bit open and unfortunately we go down pretty heavy in the end." The Reds travelled to Portland after consecutive 1-1 draws, but did so without the services of four players, who were called up for international duty with Canada. Regular starters Doneil Henry, Ashton Morgan and Jonathan Osorio were among those missing, while midfielder Bobby Convey was injured at Fridays practice session in Portland and was unable to play. Robert Earnshaw had Torontos best first half chance, acrobatically attempting a half volley inside the Portland box after Richard Eckersley carried the ball into the attacking third. Earnshaws shot was saved by former Reds goalkeeper Milos Kocic, who smothered the ball without as much effort as the skill of the shot suggested. Later in the half, Earnshaw tried a bicycle kick that sailed just high of Kocics goal. Toronto nearly reached half time withouut allowing a goal, narrowly avoiding the opener when Alhassans 32nd minute shot ricocheted off Joe Bendiks near post.dddddddddddd But a 45th minute volley from Alhassan sent the visitors into the locker room with a slight deficit. Despite needing to find a goal to salvage a draw, Toronto spent much of the second half on the back foot. An Andrew Jean-Baptiste 51st minute goal was called back for offside and Bendik needed to punch clear a strong Wallace shot just four minutes later. On the hour, Portlands Diego Chara streaked through the Toronto defence but Bendik was bailed out as Chara pushed his open shot wide to the right. Long balls from the back toward Earnshaw and Andrew Wiedeman yielded little, though Nelsen opted not to alter his tactical approach despite Portlands overwhelming possession and passing advantages. Wiedeman did get a half-chance in the 65th minute after a Portland defensive miscommunication, but even that break in luck ended without a goal as Kocic recovered just in time. Over the final fifteen minutes, Toronto finally poured forward with chances coming nearly every minute. Eckersley, Wiedeman and Earnshaw were responsible for the increase in opportunities but Portlands defence, which has allowed the fewest goals from open play in Major League Soccer, lived up to its record and kept the visiting Reds from stealing a late draw. A late Darel Russell header came closest to getting Toronto on the score sheet but it hit the top of the net. Torontos late push was snapped by Valeri after Agbossoumondes miscue left Wallace clear on goal. Valeri found Wallace who slotted his shot past Bendik. Johnson scored Portlands third goal when a series of passes gave the Timbers captain a wide open look in the 87th minute. Valeri poked in an injury time goal to seal the victory. Following the game, Nelsen dismissed the clubs turbulent week, including the firing of team president Kevin Payne, as having any effect on his teams performance. Toronto leaves Portland in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with 22 points coming from 27 games. ' ' '
