HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak will learn his fate on Monday. If he remains coach of the Texans, he'll enter next season with reigning NFL rushing leader Arian Foster. Foster ran for 180 yards and two touchdowns to secure the NFL rushing title and lead the Texans to a 34-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Speculation that Kubiak's job is in jeopardy has been swirling as the Texans (6-10) lost eight of their last 10 games. Texans owner Bob McNair was not made availabl |

| Houston, TX (MySportsbook) - Arian Foster ran for two touchdowns and the Houston Texans spoiled the Jacksonville Jaguars' playoff aspirations with a 34-17 victory at Reliant Stadium. Foster had 180 yards on 31 carries for the Texans (6-10), who snapped a four- game losing streak. Houston lost eight of its last 10 games following a promising 4-2 start to the season. "I think our offensive line just dominated the line of scrimmage," said Foster, who won the NFL rushing title with 1,616 yards on the season. " |

Arian Foster went from nowhere to be found in the 2009 draft to atop the NFL's rushing list in 2010. The Houston Texans running back led the league with 1,616 yards rushing this season, the highest single-season total for an undrafted player. But his team failed to make the playoffs, as did winners of other statistical crowns. San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers overtook Peyton Manning and Drew Brees for the passing title, throwing for 313 yards Sunday to total 4,710 for the season. The Denv |
