Matt Schaub
QB FA
On in relief of an ineffective Case Keenum in Houston's Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, Matt Schaub completed 17-of-29 passes for 198 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Schaub provided an immediate spark upon his insertion midway through the third quarter, leading the Texans on a seven-play, 76-yard touchdown drive. It was all downhill after that, however, as Schaub grew increasingly antsy and indecisive. Schaub threw more than one pass across his body, while continually rolling out at the first sign of pressure. He held onto the ball for far too long. It led to some dangerous throws, culminating with what was essentially a game-sealing pick into quadruple coverage with 2:08 remaining. Schaub got one last chance with 0:25 remaining, but took an 18-yard sack. Schaub was better than Keenum - he could at least recognize the blitz - but not by much. The 2-11 Texans could go either way for Week 15 against the Colts.
