In the latest edition of quarterback-receiver arguments on Texas-based NFL teams, embattled Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub was involved in a shouting match with All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson at the end of the team's 28-23 loss to the Oakland Raiders.


The Texans had a third-and-1 from the Oakland two-yard-line with 1:28 remaining, but failed to get the go-ahead touchdown when Schaub missed Johnson, who was covered by multiple Raiders defenders, on a fourth-down throw into the end zone.


When the offense came off the field, Schaub and Johnson were seen jawing at each other until people stepped in to separate the teammates. Johnson turned around and walked off the field while the Raiders were kneeling down to kill the clock.



According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, Johnson was also seen getting frustrated with Schaub late in the fourth quarter when the QB didn't see him open in the secondary.


Schaub, the Texans starter who was injured last month, replaced Sunday's starter Case Keenum late in the third quarter. He downplayed the incident with Johnson after the game.


'It's just emotions,' Schaub says about his sideline argument with Andre Johnson. #Texans

Gary Kubiak didn't mind either.


Kubiak on Schaub and Johnson going at it: 'That's frustration. It doesn't bother me when players get mad. They'll handle it.'

Houston started 2-0 while defending its back-to-back AFC South titles. The team is now 2-8. Schaub and Kubiak are right to dismiss the Johnson argument. There are far bigger problems for the Texans than a sideline blow-up.
