HOUSTON (AP) -Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson leads the NFL with 634 yards receiving, but tight end Owen Daniels isn't far behind.

Daniels leads all tight ends and is tied for 10th in the league overall with 497 yards receiving. His team-leading five touchdown receptions are proof that the fourth-year player has become key to Houston's recent success.

Daniels' teammates are so impressed with his play that they've nicknamed him ``Awesome.''

The Texans have won two straight and are third in the league in passing entering Sunday's game at Buffalo.
