DENVER (AP) -- Matt Schaub outplayed Peyton Manning on Sunday, throwing four touchdown passes against a confused Denver defense to lead the Houston Texans to a 31-25 victory over the Broncos. Schaub finished 17 for 30 for 290 yards to help Houston move to 3-0 for the first time in franchise history. Six days after throwing three interceptions in the first quarter of a loss to Atlanta, Manning didn't throw any against the Texans. But just as happened last week, the Broncos fell behind by 20 and lost by six. Manning did get the ball with 20 seconds left this time but didn't get the Broncos close to the end zone. The Texans improved to 3-16 lifetime against Manning and beat him for the first time in a road game.

Maybe Peyton Manning should of stayed injured and retired. Not because he is playing bad currently, Manning Sunday versus the Houston Texans was 25/51 for 310 yards with 2 Tds and no picks.  But maybe because Matt Schaub threw for four touchdowns and his Broncos defense is a steaming pile. Houston Texans are the real deal at 3-0, but Denver right now looks like an Arena League...

 Matt Schaub lost part of his ear last night during an illegal hit from Broncos line backer Joe Mays.  Somehow Schaub only took off one play after the hit and he was right back in there to lead the Texans to a victory of the Broncos.  I've seen the helmet fly off a few times in my day, but never a piece of someones ear.  Nasty stuff right there.

TweetNo doubt Eli Manning has yet to reach his brother's status as one of the best quarterbacks ever.
