Johnson has 105 catches for a league-leading 1,427 yards. He ranks second in receptions to New England's Wes Welker (109).

"You're not going to have a 10-catch, 100-yard game every game," Johnson said. "You definitely want to play well and do whatever you can to help your team win.

"I didn't get many opportunities (at Oakland), but you never know what can happen (against Chicago)."

--QB Matt Schaub showed more emotion at Oakland than any game in his two seasons with the Texans. Schaub was seen getting on his teammates a few times.

Coach Gary Kubiak said he likes to see Schaub be animated when it's necessary.

"When you're called to do something or you feel it necessary to be vocal and get on guys, you've got to do it as a leader of the team," Schaub said. "There were some moments there and certain situations that (called) for it but, obviously, you don't want to do it too much, (and) you don't want to do it in the wrong situation. You pick your spots."

BY THE NUMBERS: 13 -- Games the Texans have won since 2006 when they have won the turnover battle. They have won the turnover battle a total of 15 times since 2006.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "You know what? I didn't see much of it. I heard about the ending. We're busy. We have a lot of work we're trying to cram in because of the Christmas week and everything from the coach's standpoint and the player's standpoint. But I know it's a huge game for them and they have an excellent chance to get in the playoffs if they win. So, it's a good test for us. It's something we need to come right back and play this type of game." -- Coach Gary Kubiak, on if he watched the Bears' overtime victory on Monday night.
