TEAMS: Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars
Matt Schaub only played 10 games this season but had enough touches to qualify for the Positive Impact Factor (what's this?) standings and he led the AFC South this season. Instead of his usual nemesis Peyton Manning, Schaub was in a battle with Matt Hasselbeck for the top spot.
Here's the 2011 AFC South PIF Standings (PIF with sacks counted as rushes like the NCAA in brackets):
1. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans, 38.4 (47.1)
2. Matt Hasselbeck, Tennessee Titans, 38 (44.2)
3. Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville Jaguars, 15.2 (28.9)
4. Curtis Painter, Indianapolis Colts, 0 (19.9)
Schaub recovered from a down year in 2010 (23.3 PIF) with a 38.4 this season (his second best season). He was able to improve by increasing his touchdown production rate while slashing his fumbles lost. He did not quite get back to his 2009 season, a 46.1 PIF, which was second the NFL behind Peyton Manning.
Hasselbeck rebounded from his worst regular season (-5.2 in 2010) to his third best career mark this seas...

Texans, RB Arian Foster Have No Progress On New Deal
Texans RB Arian Foster, who was undrafted, began his career on the Texans' practice squad but has more than proved his worth after two 1,000 yard seasons and leading the league in rushing in 2010. In Houston's wild-card matchup against Cincinnati Saturday, Foster continued to make a case for just how important he is to this offense, rushing for 153 yards on 31 carries, including...

Deep Posts: Happy playoffs, everyone (and Houston … hello!)
Yes, it's that time again — you Houston Texans fans may have to search your memory banks for the last time your city hosted a playoff game (Hint: it was when the Houston Oilers lost in the wild card round to the Kansas City Chiefs at the old Astrodome on January 16, 1994). Yikes! Even the Detroit Lions have a playoff memory from January, 2000 (or, shortly before owner William...
