EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Houston Texans are still undefeated – but almost let this one slip away.

Arian Foster ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans defeated the New York Jets for the first time in team history, hanging on for a 23-17 victory Monday night.

With a chance to lead the Jets on a winning drive, Mark Sanchez was intercepted by Kareem Jackson on a pass that tipped off the hands of Jeff Cumberland with 1:51 remaining, and the Texans (5-0) joined the Atlanta Falcons as the only teams without a loss.
