First half:

1. On 3rd and 10, Schaub sacked.
2. On 3rd and 6, pass inc.
3. On 3rd and 2, pass inc.
4. On 3rd and 5, Schaub sacked.
5. On 3rd and 10, pass complete to AJ for 9 yards. (Texans punt on 4th down)
6. On 3rd and 4, pass inc.

Second half:

7. On 3rd and 1, Schaub sneaks for the 1st down.
8. On 3rd and 3, pass complete to AJ for 28 yard TD.
9. On 3rd and 10, short pass to Foster complete for -1.
10. On 3rd and 3, Foster runs for 10.
11. On 3rd and 10, Schaub sacked/stripped for turnover.

Totals: 3 sacks (1 fumble), 3 incompletions, 2 completed passes that come up short, 2 successful runs, 1 passing TD

Not sure what all this means other than Schaub didn't have his best day on 3rd downs. Of course, his protection is partly to blame here.... The only 2 runs were both successful.....

The third and 2 pass incomplete sticks out like a sore thumb.
