Jadeveon Clowney, Houston - the Texans ransacked the Tennessee Titans 57-14 on Sunday and Clowney, the former South Pointe Stallion, continued his productive form of the last month.

Sunday’s game was Clowney’s third in a row in which he was involved in forcing a turnover.

Patterson caught a team-high six passes for 33 yards and ran the ball once for a two-yard gain. He also returned a pair of kickoffs for 70 total yards, with a long of 49. Michael Crabtree’s absence through injury created more opportunities for Patterson, whose six catches was a personal high with the Raiders.
