The Texans just didn’t play too well last night and it showed on the scoreboard.  Matt Schaub completed 10 of 14 passes for 108 yards and a interception.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 10 yards (5.0 ypc).  But he got banged up in last night’s game and the Texans can’t afford to be without him.  Dan Orlovsky was next up for the Texans and he completed 7 of 11 passes for 74 yards with 1 interception.  Alex Brink finished up by completing 2 of 5 passes for 25 yards.  Steve Slaton led the way on the ground in this game with 27 yards on 12 carries (2.3 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Andre Johnson had 61 yards receiving (3 catches) and TE Owen Daniels had 49 yards (4 grabs) for the Texans.  The Texans finished up with 268 total yards in this game (61 rushing, 207 passing).

Linebacker DeMeco Ryans led the way for the defense last night with 16 tackles and a sack.  The Vikings finished up with 352 total yards on offense (180 rushing, 172 passing).
