Case Keenum had played well since taking over as the Texans starter, but Gary Kubiak had a quick hook on Sunday, opting for a switch to Matt Schaub, whose final two-minute drive for a win stalled out in the red zone.

Read Article >VIDEO: Schaub, Johnson argue on sidelines

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY SportsHouston’s offense came off the field with just over a minute to play after failing to convert from the Raiders’ two-yard line. Schaub couldn’t connect with Johnson on fourth down, with the big receiver covered tightly by Oakland in the end zone.
Johnson, who is regarded as one of the nicer and more level-headed players in the NFL, did the smart thing by walking away instead of adding fuel to the fire. He headed to the locker room with a couple of seconds still left on the game clock, though all Oakland had to do at that point was just take a knee at that point. The loss marks Houston’s eighth straight loss, and the fifth time they’ve lost by five points or fewer.

Read Article >Texans bench Keenum for Schaub

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsKubiak’s move is curious because the game is still winnable and Keenum wasn’t exactly struggling. He threw an interception, but it was his first pick of the season and Schaub’s turnover problem was one of the biggest reasons why the Texans benched him in the first place. Schaub set an NFL record earlier this season by throwing a pick-six in four straight games. Before getting benched, Keenum completed 13-of-24 passes for 170 yards, a touchdown and the pick.
The Texans lost seven games in a row and are close to losing their eighth. Regardless of how Schaub does in the final quarter, this move will not help Kubiak’s chances at keeping his job.

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsMcGloin is an undrafted rookie out of Penn State. He made the 53-man roster after outplaying Wilson, a fourth-round pick, in training camp. The Raiders waived Wilson at final cuts and signed him to the practice squad. McGloin struggled early during his career at Penn State, but he showed improvement as an upperclassman under coach Bill O’Brien, completing 60.5 percent of his passes and throwing for 24 touchdowns during his senior year.
