Steve Slaton was ready for prime time with 130
yards on the ground and two touchdowns, and the Houston Texans opened up the
offense in their first-ever Monday Night Football appearance, leading to a
30-17 victory over Jacksonville.
Gus Frerotte connected with former Bear
Bernard Berrian on a franchise-record 99-yard score, and the Vikings posted a
pair of touchdowns in the final five minutes of the first half to beat
Chicago, 34-14, and take over first place in the NFC North.
