Jaguars Vs. Texans: Matt Schaub, Arian Foster Help Houston Grind Out Win

Rather, Leinart is a guy to modestly consider stashing on your bench. There are plenty of better backup options, but in deeper leagues, Leinart is worth a grab. Leinart hasn’t thrown a pass in a game since 2009 and really hasn’t been “the guy” since 2007. I’m not holding my breath for much of anything from Matt Leinart, but if you have an open roster spot, I suppose he’s worth modest consideration.

The Houston Texans defense could not keep Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew off the board today. Jones-Drew scored one of two Jacksonville touchdowns in their 14-24 loss to the Texans. Jones-Drew rushed for 63 yards on 18 carries. He caught one pass for 11 yards.

Jones-Drew had 677 rushing yards and 74 receiving yards on the season with 2 touchdowns on the ground and zero in the air. Jones-Drew was averaging 97 yards rushing and 11 yards receiving per game. Jones-Drew rushing yards was up nearly 2 yards per game from last season.

Schaub threw for 225 yards and a touchdown, and ran for another score, while Foster ran for 112 yards and a touchdown of his own as the Texans beat the Jaguars, 24-14.

Consistency was the order of the day for Houston: 10 conversions of 17 third down attempts helped the Texans stay on the field and stave off a late comeback attempt.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster rushed for 112 yards on 33 carries as the Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by a score of 24-14. Foster was responsible for one of the Texans’ three touchdowns in the game, a four-yard, fourth quarter touchdown. He also caught one pass for 12 yards.

This was the second week in a row that Foster topped the 100-yard mark.

The Houston Texans have found it difficult to get much going against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense today. Quarterback Matt Schaub, despite a fumble, did get his team on the board with a two-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter. After halftime, Schaub threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to tight end Joel Dreesen to give the Texans a 14-7 lead.

Schaub is coming off a great game in Week 7 without star wide receiver Andre Johnson. In Week 8, the Texans expected to welcome Johnson back into the fold, which only could mean good things for Schaub and the offense. Without his favorite target, Schaub has been adequate, but he’s infinitely more dangerous with arguably the league’s best receiver catching passes.

Behold the fat guy laterals in all their glory.

The sack was Sessions’ first of the season.

Here is a video of the hit on Gabbert.

Cushing’s hit on Gabbert came after the whistle. There was no flag.

”It’s frustrating because I want to be on the field, it’s still a day-to-day thing,” Johnson told John McClain of the Houston Chronicle on Friday. “I still don’t feel right, and I don’t want to do anything to make it worse. I’m just going to keep working the way I have. I’ve made progress.”
