The Facts: Two days after sidestepping the issue, Gary Kubiak annointed Lundy as Houston's top back. "He's earned that right to play," Kubiak said. "He'll be the guy this week and hopefully for a long time to come."

Diehards Line:Though Lundy will start Sunday, Houston will likely continue to use more than one back. Samkon Gado seems to be the most likely candidate to serve as Lundy's running mate although Kubiak indicated the decision between Gado and Ron Dayne will likely be a week to week issue.
