Schaub fuels Texans past Cardinals
Aug 18, 2007 - 11:18 PM GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Matt Schaub didn't just show what he could do with his arm on Saturday. He showed some fancy footwork too.The newly acquired quarterback scampered for a 5-yard touchdown in the first quarter as the Houston Texans defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 33-20, at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Schaub finished 9-of-12 for 108 yards before giving way to backup Sage Rosenfels midway through the second quarter.
For his part, Arizona quarterback Matt Leinart was both perfect and efficient.
Leinart completed all seven of his passes for 70 yards, including the final one to running back Edgerrin James for a 5-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
James finished with five carries for 11 yards for Arizona (0-2).
Kicker Kris Brown looked in midseason form for Houston (1-1), connecting on field goals of 25, 25, 38 and 40 yards.
