Schaub ranks seventh in the NFL with a 92.7 passer rating.
For the fourth time this season, Texans quarterback Matt Schaub has been nominated as one of the finalists for the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week award. The other finalists are New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.

The victory over Tennessee gave Houston its first-ever four-game winning streak.
Schaub ranks fourth in the NFL in completion percentage this season, hitting 66.6 percent of his throws.
