HOUSTON -- DeAndre Hopkins got Houston going early and defense and special teams did the rest in a 19-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.Hopkins had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to help the Texans to the victory .Novak connected from 32, 24, 31 and 43 yards for the Texans.Cairo Santos made three field goals in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 19-12, but Houston recovered the onside kick with less than a minute left to seal the victory.The Texans (2-0) showed that they are a much different team than the one that was embarrassed in a 30-0 wild-card playoff loss to the Chiefs (1-1) in January, when quarterback Brian Hoyer had five turnovers.New quarterback Brock Osweiler did throw two interceptions but the Chiefs had more trouble taking care of the ball, with Houstons defense setting a franchise record by recovering three fumbles in the first half.Our defense really stood up there and when they had to in critical situations played well, coach Bill OBrien said.The first came when a high snap sailed over Alex Smiths head. J.J. Watt shoved him out of the way with one hand and pounced on it, showing he was getting back to his old self after July back surgery.Osweiler, who finished with 268 yards passing, connected with Hopkins on a 27-yard touchdown pass on the next play to make it 7-0.When your defense makes a big play or your special teams make a big play, on offense you need to take that momentum and finish with a touchdown, Osweiler said. Thats exactly what took place in that moment.Watt continued to shine later in the first quarter when he took Smith down for his first sack this season, forcing the Chiefs to kick a field goal that made it 7-3.Houston was leading by seven in the second quarter when Spencer Ware fumbled, Kevin Johnson scooped it up for his first career recovery and returned it 52 yards. The Texans couldnt get their offense going after that and settled for a 24-yard field goal to make it 13-3.John Simon forced the last fumble of the half on his strip-sack of Smith. It was recovered by Whitney Mercilus. But once again Houston failed to move the ball and Novaks try for a 57-yard field goal fell short as time expired in the first half.We had way too many mistakes today, coach Andy Reid said. Too many penalties. Dropped balls. You name it. Turnovers, we had three turnovers. All these things led to points. Thats my responsibility.Marcus Peters intercepted Osweiler at the goal line on Houstons first possession and picked him off again late in the third quarter.That led to a 43-yard field goal that cut the lead to 13-6.A field goal by both teams after that left the Texans up 16-9.FULLER FLOURISHESHouston rookie receiver Will Fuller finished with four receptions for 104 yards to become the first rookie in franchise history with consecutive 100-yard receiving games to start his career. The 21st overall pick in this years draft had 107 yards receiving in his NFL debut last week.INJURY REPORTHouston rookie WR Braxton Miller injured his hamstring in the first half and did not return. He doesnt think the injury is serious, but will have an MRI on Monday.ELITE COMPANYWatt finished with 1.5 sacks on Sunday to give him 76 in his 82nd career game. Hes the second fastest in NFL history to reach 75 sacks behind Hall of Famer Reggie White who did it in 65 games.NO, NO, NOPeters learned that wagging your finger in the face of an opponent like NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo did after blocking a shot is frowned upon on the NFL.Peters forced an incompletion on a deep ball thrown to Fuller in the second quarter and wagged his finger at him for several seconds. The move earned him a 15-yard penalty for taunting and a warning that a second such penalty would result in an ejection.Hes competing against a guy and made a nice play on the ball. Reid said. But you cant wag your finger -- theyre going to get you.SPREADING THE WEALTHHopkins and Fuller gave Houston two players with at least 100 yards receiving for the eighth time in franchise history and the first time since 2013.BRING IT BACKKansas City rookie Tyreek Hill had a 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown negated because of a holding penalty late in the fourth quarter.UP NEXTKansas City hosts the Jets next Sunday.Houston travels to meet New England on Thursday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake Cardinals Jerseys .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Jose Aldo looked so sharp in his UFC 200 return against Frankie Edgar that one might assume he could read his opponents thoughts.Apparently that might not be too far from the truth.During a media day on Wednesday at his Nova Uniao gym in Rio de Janeiro, Aldo (26-2) told reporters that he had a spy planted in Edgars camp during the lead-up to their July 9 rematch in Las Vegas, which Aldo won by unanimous decision to claim the UFCs interim featherweight title.Aldo removed any doubt that he wasnt the same fighter after losing his 145-pound title in 13 seconds to Conor McGregor in December by the convincing nature in which he controlled Edgar. But he did so curiously by attempting very few kicks over the five-round bout.It was a strategy that Aldo says he admits was by design, in an effort to lessen Edgars wrestling advantage by avoiding takedowns.We had a few spies from the other side, people that were training close to him the entire week, and they always came and talked to us, Aldo said. So I had to stop kicking and [using] my left hand, because he would counter on that.Aldo, who defended his title by a close decision against Edgar during their first meeting in February 2013, had a much easier time in the rematch but shutting down Edgars offense with clean counter strikes.I have already fought him before, aand I have studied him, so what I tried to do was break him during the fight, Aldo told ESPN.ddddddddddddcom after the bout.While Aldo withheld the name of his spy, he admitted this wasnt the first time he employed a fellow Brazilian to secretly scout an opponents training routine and strategy during fight week.Thank God it always happens, man, Aldo said. We always have Brazilians in the other corners. When I go train in the first day, I also see the list of cornerman. And, if theres a Brazilian, we go after him and ask him to take a look, because that helps a lot.Edgars head coach, Mark Henry, responded to Aldos comments by telling MMAFighting.com that he wasnt concerned.I dont care, Henry said. I couldnt care less. I think we should have been able to adjust anyway.Aldo, 29, went unbeaten for a full decade before the first-round knockout loss to McGregor at UFC 194, and made sure to call out the Irish star following his defeat of Edgar. A unification rematch is expected later this year, regardless of whether McGregor is victorious in his Aug. 20 rematch at welterweight against Nick Diaz. My message to him is youre the next and I will regain my championship, Aldo told ESPN.com. ' ' '
