receiving yards and 10 touchdowns for the 2019 season, but his coaches with the
Browns don¡¯t feel that the second-year player did enough work ahead of camp to
put himself in good position to reach them.Callaway has been running with the
reserves for most of camp and his condition when he reported may be the reason
why he wasn¡¯t with the first team. Head coach Freddie Kitchens and offensive
coordinator Todd Monken both said in Thursday press conferences that Callaway
reported to camp out of shape.That helped Rashard Higgins and Jaelen Strong get
ahead of him in the pecking order, but things appear to be brightening for
Callaway. Both coaches said that Callaway had his best day of practice on
Thursday after working hard to get himself into the proper condition.Callaway
caught 43 passes for 586 yards and five touchdowns during his rookie season.
HOUSTON (AP) ¡ª After the Houston Texans extended their franchise record with a
ninth straight win on Sunday, J.J. Watt was asked to reflect on how far the team
has come in the past year.¡°I was on the couch a year ago so this is a lot
better,¡± said Watt, who missed the last 11 games of Houston¡¯s 4-12 2017 season
with a broken leg. ¡°I was in a lot of pain. So it¡¯s good for us to be winning
¡this is what it¡¯s supposed to feel like. Honestly this is how you dream it
up.¡±Deshaun Watson threw a touchdown pass and the Texans intercepted rookie
Baker Mayfield three times, returning one for a score, to get the 29-13 victory
over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday that extended the streak.Article continues
below ...The Texans (9-3), who opened the season 0-3, haven¡¯t lost since Sept.
23 to take a commanding lead atop the AFC South. While they appreciate what
they¡¯ve done to turn things around, they¡¯re quick to note that they still have
plenty of work left to do.¡°It means a lot especially from where we came from 0-3
¡ but it¡¯s not the Super Bowl so we¡¯re still
fighting
Denzel Ward
Jersey ,¡± receiver DeAndre Hopkins said.Houston raced out to a 23-0
halftime lead and added two second-half field goals by Ka¡¯imi Fairbairn to give
him five on Sunday.Mayfield, the top overall pick in this year¡¯s draft, had his
worst game of the season, throwing three interceptions for the first time since
he was a freshman at Texas Tech in 2013. He entered the game having thrown nine
touchdown passes with just one interception in the past three games as the
Browns (4-7-1) won consecutive games for the first time since 2014.Mayfield
lamented the mistakes he made in this one.¡°(If) I would¡¯ve taken care of the
ball, this game would¡¯ve been very close,¡± he said.He finished with 397 yards
passing and had a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter after throwing a
career-best four in a win over the Bengals last week. Houston¡¯s fearsome pass
rush, led by Watt and Jadeveon Clowney didn¡¯t sack Mayfield, but they hurried
and harassed him for much of the day.His interceptions all came before halftime
to help the Texans build the big early lead.¡°He probably wasn¡¯t feeling too
dangerous in the first half, but he was feeling a little more dangerous in the
second half,¡± Watt said.Houston was up 3-0 after an early field goal when
Watson, who finished with 224
yards
Trevon Coley Color
Rush Jersey , connected with rookie Jordan Thomas on an 11-yard touchdown
pass. Hopkins set up that score when he made a 24-yard reception after T.J.
Carrie grabbed his dreadlocks in an attempt to slow him down two plays
earlier.Zach Cunningham made it 17-0 when he grabbed his first career
interception and ran 38 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Officials
first ruled him down at the 1, but the play was reviewed and changed to a
touchdown.Kareem Jackson was called for a 47-yard pass interference penalty on
Cleveland¡¯s next drive to put the Browns at their 20. But Mayfield threw another
interception two plays later and it was returned 18 yards by Johnathan
Joseph.Houston added another field goal to make it 20-0 with about three minutes
left in the second quarter.Mayfield¡¯s third interception came late in the second
quarter when Andre Hal grabbed the ball in the end zone.Lamar Miller had 103
yards rushing for his second straight 100-yard game and fourth of the season and
Hopkins had seven receptions for 91 yards.Cleveland continued to struggle in
late-season games, and the Browns fell to 9-39 in December and January games
since 2008.Nick Chubb got the Browns on the board in the third quarter when his
2-yard TD run cut the lead to 23-7 with about 9½ minutes left. Rashard Higgins
had a 17-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, but the 2-point
conversion failed to leave the Browns down 29-13.Houston added another field
goal after that before a mistake-filled possession by the Browns. First Mayfield
threw what looked to be a 76-yard touchdown pass to rookie Antonio Callaway, but
it was brought back because of a holding penalty by left tackle Greg
Robinson.Two plays later, Mayfield connected with Callaway again and he gained
71 yards before rookie Justin Reid chased him down from behind and knocked the
ball out of his hands just before he would have scored. It bounced into the end
zone where it was recovered by the Texans.¡°It was just trying to make something
happen,¡± Reid said. ¡°I didn¡¯t want him to score so just make a play on the ball
and see if it would come out. Good thing for us it did.¡±INJURIESCleveland
cornerback Denzel Ward left in the first half with a concussion. ¡ Browns
defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi injured his biceps in the second quarter and
didn¡¯t return. ¡ Joseph didn¡¯t return after injuring his neck in the second
quarter. ¡ LB Brennan Scarlett injured his leg and didn¡¯t return. ¡ Houston
offensive tackle Kendall Lamm left in the second half with a
concussion.REMEMBERING PRESIDENT BUSHThe Texans observed a moment of silence
before the game for former President George H.W. Bush, who died on Friday night
in Houston at 94. Bush was a frequent visitor to Houston¡¯s games and had
participated in the coin toss at several contests. During the moment of silence
pictures of Bush at various games were shown on the video screens flanked by
huge 41¡¯s made out of a collage of pictures as a further tribute to the nation¡¯s
41st president.UP NEXTBrowns: Host the Panthers next Sunday.Texans: Host the
