T.J. Yates not feeling like a rookie as he guides Texans to first-ever playoff game


figured he’d spend his rookie year with the Houston Texans on the sideline learning from veteran quarterback Matt Schaub. That plan changed when Schaub and backup Matt Leinart had season-ending injuries. Yates was thrust into the starting job and responded by guiding the Texans to their first playoff berth. Now the fifth-round pick will lead the franchise in the biggest game of its 10-year history. (Washington Post)
