Andre Johnson was Andre Johnson on Sunday.

The leading receiver in franchise history collected six receptions for 93 yards, including a long of 23. In turn, Johnson moved into 16th place in NFL history in total receiving yards (12,754), passing Washington’s Art Monk.

Johnson said the Texans’ 2-14 season last year has them in a perfect position to surprise the NFL this year.

“Definitely thought in my mind about it,” said Johnson, referring to the Texans winning the AFC South in 2014.

The Texans used four and five wide receiver sets early but rarely broke new ground on offense, with new quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick leading an Arian Foster-centered running attack.

The Texans only recorded 13 first downs on offense (three additional came via penalty) and 316 net yards of offense.
