When the Houston Texans host the Seattle Seahawks for the first time this weekend, they'll meet a group that looks much like them.
HOUSTON (AP) -- These teams enter Sunday's game with 5-7 records and similar disappointment at being all but out of the playoff hunt with four games to go. They each need a victory to extend their chance of finishing with a winning record, and they'll both have to do it behind a beat-up quarterback.
The Texans are in better shape with Matt Schaub fully participating in practice this week and ready to go despite dislocating his non-throwing shoulder in last week's loss to Jacksonville. He'll wear a harness to steady the injured left shoulder and help guard against another dislocation.
