Houston Texans: The 2011 season outcome had Matt Schaub been healthy

Week 12 – November 27, 2011 – Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Actual Score: Houston 20, Jacksonville 13

Simulated Score: Houston 44, Jacksonville 17

Now the Texans’ defense had a streak going of games where they allowed fewer than 20 points. This would continue as the Jaguars would score 17. But Houston’s offense would continue to go on fire because Schaub is still at quarterback. Schaub would throw three first half touchdown passes while Neil Rackers would make two field goals as Houston would lead 27-7 at halftime.

Ben Tate would surprise the Jaguars with a 57-yard run for a touchdown while Arian Foster added a touchdown of his own. Offensively, Schaub would finish 19-22 with 210 yards and three TD passes. Foster would be named the player of the game with 20 rushes for 112 yards. Glover Quin would be top Texans defender with six tackles and one interception. Brian Cushing would also have an interception while Williams would collect two sacks.
