"We just were really hyped today," said defensive end C.J. Wilson, who on the first play of the game sacked Texans quarterback Matt Schaub for a 2-yard loss. "Coach came in and said he wants guys to have energy for the first play to the last.

"That's what we did. Nothing different than the past four or five weeks. Same defense."

The Packers have been slow starters this season, failing to score in the first quarter in their first three games and failing to score on an opening drive all season. The defense had been much better coming out of the gate but couldn't ever sustain any of the will it came out of the tunnel with.

The question is whether this was a one game effort or one that will endure the rest of the season.

It's very irritating that a team doesn't play to its potential every week, effort-wise.
