HOUSTON (AP) - Don't expect any trash talking with Andre Johnson and Nnamdi Asomugha (NAHM'-dee AH'-sihm-wah) matching up when the Houston Texans host the Oakland Raiders.
Along with being 2 of the best players in the league, the receiver and cornerback are also among the most quiet.
The pair may keep lips zipped on the field, but the mild-mannered Johnson couldn't help but tease Asomugha about the 3-year, $45.3 million contract his friend signed in the offseason. Johnson says he asked Asomugha for a million-dollar loan.
Both teams are looking to bounce back Sunday after losses that gave them 1-2 records.
Houston hasn't had any trouble scoring points the past two weeks, but its defense ranks last in the league.
The Raiders have more trouble on offense and are gaining the second-fewest yards in the league with quarterback JaMarcus Russell struggling.
