That is my response after he was responsible for no fewer than16 of the 22 points scored by the Houston Texans today -- including two 54-yard field goals and the game-winning 57-yarder that won the game with just seconds to go.

Kris Brown kicked a 57-yard field goal with one second left — his third of at least 54 yards — to help the Texans escape with a 22-19 victory over Miami at Reliant Stadium.

Brown had kicked four field goals of 54, 43, 54 and 20 yards to keep the Texans in the game when the offense bogged down. He tied an NFL record with three field goals of at least 50 yards.

The Texans' offense was limited to one touchdown for the second game in a row against a winless team.

The Texans are now 3-2 and Miami 0-5. It feels like the Texans lost because they played so poorly against a terrible team.

The defense finally forced a turnover, but the offense capitalized with a field goal, not a touchdown. The defense couldn't stop Ronnie Brown. It couldn't contain Cleo Lemon, the backup quarterback who replaced the injured Trent Green.

Green left the game after suffering a concussion when he blocked Travis Johnson on a reverse. Green went low on a reverse by Ted Ginn Jr. His head hit Johnson's knee, and he didn't get up. Green, who was able to move his legs, suffered a concussion. He was taken off the field on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital.

Other than Kris Brown, there are only to bits of good news coming out of this game -- we will hopefully have both Ahman Green and Andre Johnson back next week, and Trent Green was reported back in the Dolphin's locker room after going off that field in a fashion reminiscent of Cedric Killings' departure against Indianapolis.

I'll take the win -- but this one was sadly reminiscent of the 2004 and 2006 seasons. God grant that I never have to compare this team's play to 2005 season.
