NASHVILLE, Tenn. - J.J. Watt takes the NFL very seriously, so he gave Titans rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger a reminder that this isnt high school by mocking the first-time starter with a pretend selfie.Watt celebrated and sent his message after coming up with two sacks, a batted pass he nearly picked off and a forced fumble as the Houston Texans beat the Tennessee Titans 30-16 Sunday for a win in the franchises 200th game.The Texans defensive end said he noticed Mettenberger posted a few selfies this week, including one a couple hours before kickoff.I take my job very seriously, and if I was a rookie quarterback and a starter for my first time in the league Id be a little bit more focused than that, Watt said. Maybe hell learn from it, maybe not, but we won the game and thats all that matters.The Texans (4-4) snapped a three-game skid and beat the team they replaced in Houston for the fourth time in five games. Arian Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a pass for a score, topping 100 yards rushing in his fourth straight game for the first time hes done that in his career.The performance marked Fosters 31st career 100-yard rushing game, tying Priest Holmes for the most in NFL history by an undrafted player.He makes a lot of yards because of his vision, Houston coach Bill OBrien said. He sets up blocks well. He has great instincts. Hes good in the passing game. Its all the things Ive said from day one with him. Hes tough and hes a big back. Hes hard to tackle. He had a whale of a football game.Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney played for the first time since hurting his knee in the season opener. Clowney played mostly in passing situations and finished with one tackle.Mettenberger turned the ball over twice, finishing with 299 yards passing and two touchdowns. The Titans (2-6) go into their bye having lost two straight.Nobody quit, nobody gave up, Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. It was very tough out there today, but we will correct this.The Texans had given up 24 points in a single quarter each of their past two losses. This time, they trailed only 3-0 early before scoring 27 straight points.They had no trouble throttling a Tennessee offence playing three rookies with left tackle Taylor Lewan and running back Bishop Sankey joining Mettenberger. D.J. Swearinger intercepted a Mettenberger pass in the second quarter to end the Titans first drive into Houston territory, and Tim Jamison recovered the fumble after Watt sacked Mettenberger and popped the ball out to end Tennessees first drive in the third quarter.Houston led 13-3 at halftime, a lead that should have been much bigger.The Titans forced the Texans to settle for two field goals by Randy Bullock on drives inside the Tennessee 12, and Houston had first-and-goal at the Titans 2 when Fitzpatrick was sacked for the fourth time.Foster broke loose on a 34-yard TD where he cut back to his right and outraced the Titans to the pylon with 6:00 left in the first half to put Houston ahead to stay. He also caught a 5-yard TD pass and scored on a 1-yard run that he set up with a 43-yard run in the third quarter.Bullock finished with three field goals, including a long of 49 yards.Whisenhunt turned his offence over to Mettenberger, the sixth-round draft pick out of LSU, after the Titans had lost five of six with Jake Locker missing three of those with separate injuries. Mettenberger gave glimpses of his strong arm with a 48-yard toss to Kendall Wright and a 43-yarder to Nate Washington. The rookie had his first career TD pass on a 6-yarder to Delanie Walker.The quarterback switch didnt fix Tennessees other woes. The run game remains nonexistent. Three of the Titans six penalties were on the offence, and not being flagged once in the second half counted as progress.Notes: Fitzpatrick became the 41st quarterback in NFL history with 1,500 yards rushing. He needed 3 and got 12 on four scrambles. ... The Texans have allowed 10 sacks in the past two games. ... Whisenhunt said Titans WR Nate Washington sprained a joint in his shoulder. ...

A smothering defence that sacked Anthony Calvillo seven times came to the rescue as the Blue Bombers downed the Montreal Alouettes 19-11 on Thursday night. A pair of touchdowns by backup quarterback Justin Goltz, two Mike Renaud singles and a late field goal by Justin Palardy was all Winnipeg needed to earn a split of a back-to-back series to start the CFL season. Winnipeg lost 38-33 loss to Montreal at home last week. "The team that turns the ball over usually loses," said starting QB Buck Pierce, who threw an interception and saw his team fumble four times. "Our defence was able to get some back in the second half, but we have to take better care of the football. "Ill take that onus on me. The interception early, you cant do much about that, but the fumbles, we cant have those." The night ended with concern for Bombers defensive tackle Bryant Turner, who was injured in the final minute. He walked off the field on his own power, but was given oxygen by doctors while on a stretcher on the sidelines after the game. There was no immediate word on his condition. "Im scared for him right now," said defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan. "I dont know what it is, but I know hes a tough kid and hell be fine. "He had some problems breathing, but hes going to be fine." Turner was a key figure in holding Montreals normally potent offence to only nine first downs and 136 yards in net offence for the game. Calvillo completed 16 for 135 yards. A handful of times, turnovers gave Montreal the ball in good field position, but they got only four points from them. Calvillo called that "disgusting," and rookie head coach Dan Hawkins agreed. "It was frustrating because our defence gave us turnovers," said Hawkins. "We had some short fields and we were unable to capitalize. "Last week we struggled and we were up by a few points and this week we struggled and we were down, so weve got to keep getting better. It starts with me." It appears the Alouettes offence is still adjusting to a new coaching staff as it failed to move the ball until a late drive produced their only touchdown from S.J. Green. Sean Whyte added a field goal and a single. The Bombers defence made it especially tough on Calvillo on a muggy night at Percival Molson Stadium.dddddddddddd "Im going to buy them all dinner tonight," said Pierce. "Its a team effort. "When they needed to be picked up, we picked them up. When we struggled in the second half, we leaned on them. And they got key stops for us countless times. Im glad we gave them a bit of a cushion going into the last few minutes." A pass from Pierce that was tipped by Jerald Brown for a Scooter Brown interception on the Winnipeg 21 turned into a 16-yard Whyte field goal 6:38 into the game. Winnipeg responded with a 10-play, 105-yard drive capped by a four-yard TD run around the left side by Goltz 2:18 into the second quarter. Goltz had gone in on a short yardage situation and stayed in for the next play. Montreal native Cory Watson made three key catches on the drive. He had six catches for 114 yards to lead the receivers. The Bombers added a single to take an 8-3 lead at the intermission. On Winnipegs opening drive of the second half, Kyries Hebert stripped the ball from Pierce and John Bowman recovered on the Montreal 51 to end a promising drive. The crowd of 22,134 got to its feet in vain 11:28 into the second half as Hebert ran back a Pierce fumble for a TD, but he was ruled down by touch on the play after a video review and Montreal settled for a punt single. Winnipeg answered with its second single of the game early in the fourth quarter, and then things got at least a little interesting. Desia Dunn picked off Calvillo and Pierce hit Rory Kohlert with a 47-yard toss to set up Goltz one-yard TD off tackle at 8:57. A four-play, 68-yard drive capped by Greens 17-yard TD catch brought the Alouettes to within five points with 2:10 left to play. But Montreals next drive ended with Turners third sack, which caused Calvillo to fumble the ball to Zach Anderson at the Montreal 23. Palardy booted a 27-yard field goal. The Alouettes play another opponent in back-to-back weeks when they face the visiting Stampeders on July 12 and the visit Calgary the following week. The Bombers play the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Guelph, Ont., on July 13. Running back Brandon Whitaker made a quiet return to the Alouettes with five carries for 37 yards. The 2011 CFL rushing leader hadnt played since tearing a knee ligament in September. ' ' '
