A man attending the Texans-Vikings preseason finale fell to his death while horse-playing on an escalator near the northeast side of Reliant Stadium.

He was trying to slide down the outside of the handrail on the escalator when he fell three stories, landing on the pavement, according to police.

 

The Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens have the three oldest collections of starters in the NFL. 

The Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals are the youngest.

Former Vikings head coach Bud Grant had a popular saying that "for every young guy you start, you lose a game."

Pete Carroll worked for Grant early in his coaching career, but has had one of the youngest teams in the NFL during his tenure with the Seahawks.

"I was of that mindset in classic fashion until I had to be in charge of calling all the shots and then it just flipped in me that we don't know where we're going unless we find these guys out," Carroll said. "One of the really exciting things about playing guys early is ... by the middle and to the end of the season, you’ve developed players that fit into your rotations now that add to your depth and also add to the opportunity to not over-play your older guys." 

Below is a full list with the rank in offense/defense in parenthesis.

Texans left tackle Duane Brown doesn't believe that any NFL team has an offense as explosive as his does.

"I think the sky's the limit for us as long as we keep everybody healthy," Brown said. "We have a lot of star power, a lot of big-play ability. We can run the ball, establish the run, and also set that up for big plays down the field. It's just about going out and executing every week."

In addition to elite rusher Arian Foster, Houston is welcoming back the healthy duo of quarterback Matt Schaub and wide receiver Andre Johnson.

The Bears have the best uniforms in the NFL, according to Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.

"True, the helmet design is starting to look a tad dated," writes Lukas. "But the striped sleeves, striped socks (now a rarity in the NFL, alas), unique number font, and even the perma-memorial to Papa Bear all score major points, and the Bears may be the only team in the league who look as sharp on the road as they do at home. The cream of the NFL crop."

The Packers, Steelers, Raiders and Eagles round out the top-five.

"Just suit up, baby," writes Lukas about the Raiders. "Silver and black look just as good today as they did when Al Davis came up with them. There's probably some marketer out there who wants the team to dress up like the fans in the Black Hole (and hey, that actually could be fun as a one-off thing), but you don't mess with something this elemental. Also: The Raiders are among the few NFL teams that wisely have declined to adopt the new Nike collar format."

Arian Foster has averaged 24.9 touches per start over the past three season.

That number ranks Foster ahead of Ray Rice at 22.3 and LeSean McCoy at 19.5.

The Texans have eight players in ESPN's Top-200, led by Andree Johnson at No. 18 and Arian Foster at No. 30.

J.J. Watt (55), Brian Cushing (63), Johnathan Joseph (67), Duane Brown (71), Chris Myers (137) and Matt Schaub (187) are Houston's other representatives.

The Texans have the most players on the list in the AFC South.

The Texans signed tackle Duane Brown to a new contract Thursday, according to an Associated Press report.

The six-year contract is worth $53.4M, with $22.08M guaranteed, a person with direct knowledge of the deal said on condition of anonymity.

''I understand they had a lot of confidence in me, a lot of faith in me,'' Brown said.

The Texans are currently engaged in contract talks with offensive tackle Duane Brown and outside linebacker Connor Barwin. The contracts of both players expire after the season, along with that of quarterback Matt Schaub. "They're still talking," Brown said of the team and his agent. "I'm letting those guys handle it."

Andre Johnson returned to practice Monday after missing a week of practice with a mild groin strain. "I thought he looked good. We put a play count on him," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "It's about getting him going again. ... I thought he held up well." Johnson fell awkwardly running a route on July 29 and had an MRI exam later that day that showed a "mild strain."
