NFL Game Summary - Oakland at Houston

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt McGloin threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns in his first NFL start, and the Oakland defense came up with a late goal-line stand as the Raiders held off the reeling Houston Texans, 28-23, at Reliant Stadium.

McGloin, making the start in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor, completed 18- of-32 passes. Rashad Jennings racked up 150 rushing yards, including an 80- yard TD scamper late in the third quarter that gave Oakland (4-6) a 28-17 advantage.

Matt Schaub replaced an ineffective Case Keenum under center on Houston's next series and guided the Texans (2-8) on a pair of scoring drives that Randy Bullock capped with field goals of 26 and 30 yards, respectively, to bring Houston within five with just over eight minutes left in the fourth.

After the teams exchanged three-and-outs, Houston forced another Oakland punt and Schaub found Andre Johnson for 22 yards two plays later to move Houston to the Oakland 35.

Ben Tate touched the ball on the next four plays to get Houston to the 2-yard line, but the Texans running back was stuffed for a 1-yard loss on 3rd-and-1 from the two.

After a false start penalty left Houston facing a do-or-die 4th-and-7, Schaub's pass to the end zone was batted away, and the Raiders ran out the remainder of the clock to escape with the victory.
