    After losing starting quarterback Matt Schaub and No. 2 quarterback Matt Leinart to season-ending injuries, fifth-round quarterback T.J. Yates made his second NFL start and led a dramatic come-from-behind win on the road to beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-19. Coupled with the Tennessee Titans' 22-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Texans have now clinched their first AFC South title since joining the league in 2002. The Texans trailed by nine points at the start of the fourth quarter, but Yates led a pair of 13-play, 80+ yard scoring drives to get the win. Yates led an 83-yard drive that ended with a Neil Rackers field goal and an 80-yard drive that culminated in a six-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Walter with two seconds remaining. Rackers added the extra point to provide the winning point. Yates completed 26-of-44 pass attempts for 300 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the win.

    No denying the Texans the division this season. I think even if Manning were In the division, the Texans would've taken it.

    Congrats.

    well the radio stations here in Houston think it can help Wade. If you look at his winning record it's not schaby and his teams go to the playoffs.
