HOUSTON

Mario Williams, Steve Slaton and the Houston Texans put on quite a show in their Monday Night Football debut.

Williams had a season-high three sacks and forced a fumble and Slaton ran for a pair of touchdowns to lead the Texans to a 30-17 win over the slumping Jacksonville Jaguars .

Andre Johnson added a TD reception and Kris Brown kicked three field goals in the win, a highlight in Houston's disappointing season so far.

The top pick in the 2006 draft, Williams brought down quarterback David Garrard in the second, third and fourth quarters. He forced a fumble by Garrard on his last sack and Houston recovered on the 7.

Slaton scored on the next play to make it 23-3 with about five minutes left.

Rosenfels made his fourth consecutive start in place of Matt Schaub, the former University of Virginia standout who's been out with a left knee injury but was active for the game.

The Texans took the opening kickoff and Rosenfels found Andre Johnson for a 12-yard gain on Houston's first play from scrimmage. Johnson, third in the NFL in receiving yards, has caught a pass in 46 consecutive games.

Slaton gained 26 yards on three runs before Rosenfels hit Johnson again for a TD with 12:04 left in the first. With the catch, Johnson set Texans records for career touchdowns (29) and points scored by a non-kicker (174).

Rosenfels and Garrard threw interceptions on consecutive plays with just under 10 minutes left in the first quarter. Rashean Mathis picked off Rosenfels and returned it to the Texans' 44 and Jacques Reeves got it right back for Houston on a pass intended for Jerry Porter.
