TEXANS WRAP UP THE REGULAR SEASON WITH A HOME DATE AGAINST PATRIOTS

The Texans return home after two road wins seeking their first winning season as they face the New Eng- land Patriots on January 3, 2010 at Noon at Reliant Stadium. The Texans enter Sunday in the playoff hunt. Houston looks to extend its winning streak to four straight which would tie its franchise-best mark from 2008. The Texans face the Patriots for the third time in team history. Houston looks to gain their first win in the series. Houston last hosted New England in 2003 when the eventual champions escaped town with a 23-20 win in overtime. Houston’s 379.3 yards of total offense per game ranks fifth in the NFL. The Texans are paced by a pair of league leaders. WR leads the NFL with 1,504 receiving yards. He became only the second receiver in league history to post back-to-back 1,500 yard seasons. He is 71 yards shy of matching his career best in receiving yards from last season. Johnson looks to become the first player in over a decade to lead the league in receiving yards in consecutive seasons. QB leads the NFL with a career-high 4,467 yards. If Schaub and John- son can finish the season at the top of their respective categories, they would become the eighth set of teammates since the 1970 NFL merger and first since 1998 to lead the league in passing and receiving yards in a single season. During the month of December, Houston finished with a 3-1 record. Johnson led all receivers with 559 receiving yards. He finished with eight catches of 25 or more yards. Schaub passed for 1,225 yards and a rat- ing of 103.2. Schaub was injured on the first play at Jacksonville (12/6) when he was dropped for a nine yard loss. Since then, he has been sacked just twice in 139 pass attempts. The Texans defense enters Sunday ranked 14th in the NFL. They are led by Rookie of the Year candidate who leads all AFC with 128 tackles. He leads all NFL linebackers with four . PRESEASON Sat., Aug. 15 @ Kansas City W 16-10 VS.

Houston has won the turnover battle five times on the year and is 4-1 in those games. The Texans are 17-3 under head coach Gary Kubiak when winning the turnover battle. Calling the signals under center once again is QB Matt Schaub. In his third year as a starter, Schaub has already thrown for a career-high and franchise-record 4,467 yards and 27 touchdowns through the first 15 games. In Week 15 at St. Louis (12/20), he became the first Texans passer to top 4,000 yards. Schaub is 8-7 as a starter this season and 18-19 overall with the Texans. Schaub’s primary receiving option once again is WR Andre Johnson, who has established himself as arguably the best receiver in the NFL. A year after becoming the first receiver to lead the league in yards and catches since 2005, Johnson has once again made comes to Houston after spending history.

He has nine receptions of 25 yards or longer, meaning nearly one out of every five catches results in a big gain. Third-year pro Jacoby Jones has made his mark returning punts, but made strides toward turning his tremendous athleticism into consistent playing time in the offense this season. In three seasons, Jones has caught 38 passes for 523 yards and four touchdowns.

Bulman, a converted defensive tackle, has slimmed down to 275 pounds in hopes of gaining speed and quickness. Houston spent its second-round pick (46th over- all) on Connor Barwin out of Cincinnati. Barwin brings tremendous athleticism and versatility to the position. He played tight end for three years before switching to defensive end as a senior, when he recorded 12 sacks and earned All-America honors.

Linebackers The Texans linebacking corps will once again be an- chored by MLB DeMeco Ryans. The fourth-year star is the captain and unquestioned leader.

Diles has 118 tackles over the past two seasons. Second-year linebacker , a fourth- round pick a year ago, started five games and had 34 tackles and a fumble recovery, earning him PFT/PFWA All-Rookie honors.

Cornerbacks This offseason, Dunta Robinson became the first play- er in Texans history to be designated as a franchise player. Robinson signed the franchise designation on September 6 and immediately reclaimed a spot in the starting lineup. Robinson is the franchise’s all-time leader with 13 career interceptions and is regarded as one of the hardest pound-for-pound hitters in the NFL. Rookie fourth-round draft pick Glover Quin moved into the starting lineup in Week 4 vs. Oakland (10/4) and has started 11 games this season. Quin was a three-time All-Mountain West selection at New Eighth-year veteran Kevin Bentley is penciled in as Mexico, where he finished his career with 156 tackles, Ryans’ top backup in the middle.
