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

Week 13 – December 4, 2011 – Atlanta Falcons vs. Houston Texans

Actual Score: Houston 17, Atlanta 10

Simulated Score: Houston 46, Atlanta 0

This game surprised me the most because I do not think that even with Schaub playing, the Texans would’ve shut out the Falcons. But the Texans must’ve had a strong day defensively even with the offense of Houston.

Tate would score the first touchdown of the game although Rackers missed the extra point.  Johnson would catch two touchdown receptions but would finish with four catches for 24 yards.

Schaub goes 19-27 for 285 yards and four TD receptions. Matt Ryan has a terrible game going 7-21 for 69 yards and two interceptions by Johnathan Joseph.

Scoring

1st Quarter

HOU – 7:23 TD Ben Tate 11 pass from Schaub (6-0 HOU)

HOU – 0:48 TD Andre Johnson 3 yd pass from Schaub (13-0 HOU)

2nd Quarter

HOU – 8:13 TD Andre Johnson 9 yd pass from Schaub (20-0 HOU)

HOU – 0:00 FG Neil Rackers 44 yds (30-0 HOU)

3rd Quarter

HOU – 9:03 FG Neil Rackers 20 yds (33-0 HOU)

HOU – 5:29 TD Arian Foster 6 rush (40-0 HOU)

4th Quarter

HOU – 9:40 FG Neil Rackers 50 yds (43-0 HOU)

HOU – 8:03 FG Neil Rackers 39 yds (46-0 HOU) 

I would assume that this would lead to a coaches’ rant by the Falcons and questions of Ryan being a great quarterback. But Texans fans could care less since they’re 9-3 now. Let’s travel to Cincinnati.
