HOUSTON - The Houston Texans have already won more games than they did in last years dreadful 2-14 season. Robert Thomas Jersey .While theyre happy with their 3-1 start, theyre still looking to do much more, especially with a matchup with in-state rival Dallas coming up Sunday.We have a lot of things that we want to make sure that we continue to improve upon, defensive end J.J. Watt said. We have some other things that we want to really get going. There is always things, even that you do well, that you want to make sure you continue to do better.Watt was chosen AFC defensive player of the week on Wednesday. Watt led the way in Houstons 23-17 win over Buffalo on Sunday with an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown, five tackles and a career-high nine hits on quarterback E.J. Manuel. His interception return was the longest by a defensive lineman in more than 15 years.Watt, who started his college career as a tight end before moving to defence, has two touchdowns this year after also grabbing a TD pass in Week 2.But, as usual, the overachiever isnt satisfied.Every single day is a new challenge, he said. Its a lot of fun. Thats what makes it so fun. Every day you come in and you find something new to work on.Watts big game helped make up for a tough day by the offence. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions and the team managed a season-low 37 yards rushing.We have yet to play even close to our best football, especially as an offence, left tackle Duane Brown said. We feel like our defence has really played its tail off and we have to match that, and I think once were firing on all cylinders well be a great team and well be hard to stop.Even though the Texans are looking to up their game, theyre also encouraged theyve been able to get out to such a good start despite struggling in several areas.Without a doubt, but you cant hang your hat on that, cornerback Johnathan Joseph said. Because if you dont fix those problems, somewhere down the line it will come back to haunt you and cost you a game.Fitzpatrick, in his first year in Houston, has struggled the past two weeks after a solid start this season. His five interceptions have all come in the last two games and are tied for most in the league. Coach Bill OBrien has talked often about putting Fitzpatrick in better positions to be successful, but the quarterback wont place blame for his trouble on anyone but himself.Ive got to get a lot better, he said. Every week its almost like a broken record, but the consistency, its just got to get better ... if I look at the first four games and how theyve gone, were 3-1 and thats not too bad, but my level of play has got to pick up.This week hell face a Dallas defence that is allowing more than 271 yards passing a game, seventh most in the league. But the group picked off Drew Brees once in a 38-17 win over Saints last week, and the Cowboys also recovered two fumbles in the victory.Theyve created a bunch of turnovers, Fitzpatrick said. Theyve been an opportunistic defence this year. You really see them flying around and playing fast (and) that jumps out at you when you watch the tape.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Phil Simms Jersey . - New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has an agreement to bring back outside linebacker Parys Haralson on a one-year deal.

The announcement is an embarrassment for Hansen, who lost his bid after NBA owners voted to keep the team in Californias capital city, and it could undermine support for the local ballot measure Hansen funded that is designed to put to a citywide vote the councils planned $258 million subsidy for a downtown arena. "I made a mistake I regret," Hansen said in a written statement. "While Im sure everyone can appreciate how easy it is to get caught up in the heat of battle, with the benefit of hindsight, this is clearly a decision I regret." Hansen had said he would end his effort to buy the Kings for $625 million after the NBA blocked the sale, and a group of investors led by technology executive Vivek Ranadive bought the team a day later for $535 million. Hansen publicly wished the city well after losing his bid to buy the team. Yet the California Fair Political Practices Commission said that a month later, Hansen gave $80,000 to pay signature gatherers trying to get the measure on next Junes ballot, and the group violated state law by refusing to disclose the donation. The NBA has said that Sacramento must build a modern arena to keep the Kings in town. The teams new owners have set a 2016 target. Hansens money was funneled through the Los Angeles law firm of Loeb & Loeb. Hansen said the firm approached him about making a contribution to the petition effort after he had hired them to gauge citizen opposition during the battle over the sale. Members of Sacramento Taxpayers Opposed to Pork, which filed to put the initiative on the June 2014 ballot, distanced themselves from the money and said they use only volunteers to circulate petitions. Janoris Jenkins Jersey. Spokesman John Hyde said the money went to a political group that offered to assist STOPs efforts. "No doubt this is a PR nightmare for STOP," Hyde said. "We didnt know where that money came from and we werent the recipient of any of that funding." The signature gatherers are halfway to the 22,000 they need to qualify the measure by December, Hyde said. Gary Winuk, chief of the commissions enforcement division, said Hansen donated $100,000 total. It was not immediately clear what happened to the additional $20,000, though Winuk said it might have been spent on other expenses. He said the investigation is continuing. "These are as sophisticated parties as you can get and they should know better," Winuk said. "Most people just comply when we call them. They just happened to make us take them to court." The donors were intentionally denying the public information that could help them decide whether to sign the petition, he said. The commission filed a lawsuit Thursday to learn the donors identity and revealed during a Friday news conference that it was Hansen. "Unbelievable," said state Senate President pro Tempore Darrel Steinberg, who is from Sacramento and was active in efforts to keep the Kings in town. Kings and NBA officials declined comment, as did Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA all-star who led the fight to keep the team. Suspicion about the origins of the money originally had fallen on the Maloof family that previously owned the team because the same law firm had long represented them. The commission was dropping its lawsuit, but Winuk said Hansen and the law firm could face a civil fine of up to $80,000 plus an administrative fine of up to $5,000 for each of at least three campaign-reporting violations.
