It's a QB clinic in the Texans-Redskins game.

Schaub: 26-31, 335 yds, 2 TD
McNabb: 19-25, 341 yds, 1 TD

Redskins lead 27-20 with 11 minutes left in the 4th.

First TD for Demaryius Thomas. Big game for him today.

The NFL challenge system is so flawed. I don't think a coach or the stadium's fans encouraging the coach should be able to look at a replay themselves and then request a challenge.

Should be determined by the naked eye.

Why? Technology is part of the game. I'm all for having the right call being made regardless of how it's made. You sound like a bitter Pats fan.

Yeah, not too shabby. Vick and Jackson were great, too.

ANdre Johnson on 4th and 10. UNBELIEVABLE. That guy is the best player in the NFL period.

Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the NFL by a mile.

Houston was down to their last play of the game and Schaub finds Johnson for a 34 yard TD. 27-27 late in the 4th.

Schaub has 421 yards passing, McNabb has 381.

I am!

But I still think it's weird. I'm trying to be fair.
You gotta challenge fast, not after looking at 3 replays.

Patsies deserve to lose this game, they're been totally schooled in the 2nd half.

Looks like the Jets are going to beat the Pats. 28-14 Jets with about 6 minutes left in the 4th.

That's the nail in the coffin. Great 2nd half by the Jets.

I don't see why it matters. Would you rather have a blown call determine the game?

This is neat. Shanahan vs Kubiak in OT. Gotta be fun for both of them.

Remember the new OT rule. First points do not win automatically.

Steve Slaton has had an absolutely awful game returning kickoffs.
