Texans’ Brian Cushing Bloodied After Tussle With… |
By John Bena – Senior Editor
Browns guard Shawn Lauvao and Texans LB Brian Cushing got into a tussle that left Cushing’s face bloodied. Follow , and Like SB Nation Cleveland on Facebook. Nov 10, 2011 – The Cleveland Browns were battered and bruised by the Houston Texans during their 30-12 loss last Sunday, but one Texan will have the scars to prove it. Linebacker Brian Cushing made the mistake of head-butting Browns guard Shawn Lauvao after a Colt McCoy interception without a helmet. Lauvao still had his helmet on. The results are seen in the picture – a large gash on Cushing’s forehead that sent blood streaming down his face. Cushing was rather proud of the moment, however, telling everyone he could find about the incident. NFL Films had Cushing wired for sound so you can see the incident - and a total of four minutes of annoying sound from Cushing. “My forehead feels like D-Day,” he said. “I can’t wait until 7 a.m. in the morning. My head is going to feel like Tales from the Crypt.” While the Browns won that battle, the Texans certainly won the war.

NFL: Houston Texans rely on defense to beat… |
The Texans are learning how to win, even when their offense has an off day. Arian Foster rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, and Matt Schaub threw a scoring pass and ran for a touchdown for Houston (5-3), off to its best eight-game start. The Texans took one more step toward the franchise’s first division title and playoff berth by improving to 3-0 in the AFC South. “We knew it was going to be a tough, dirty game,” said Houston linebacker Brian Cushing, who led his team with seven tackles. “In this league, it’s tough to get a win. We just had to do what we had to do.” Houston stayed in control by holding Jacksonville (2-6) to 61 yards and five first downs in the second half. Blaine Gabbert, making his sixth career start, completed 10 of 30 passes for 97 yards and two interceptions for an anemic 26.7 rating. Gabbert’s 5-yard TD pass to Jason Hill in the second quarter was Jacksonville’s first touchdown since the third quarter of a 17-13 loss to Pittsburgh two weeks ago.
