HOUSTON (AP) - Andre Johnson caught a screen pass from Matt Schaub and ran 48 yards for the winning touchdown in overtime as the Houston Texans rallied to beat Jacksonville 43-37 on Sunday.

Schaub threw a career-high five touchdown passes, completed a franchise-record 43 passes and finished with 527 yards passing, second most in NFL history. Warren Moon also threw for 527 yards for the Houston Oilers in December 1990 against Kansas City.

Norm Van Brocklin holds the record with 554 for the Rams in 1951.

Johnson caught 14 passes for 273 yards, both career highs. The Texans (9-1) won an overtime game for the first time at Reliant Stadium.

Chad Henne threw a career-high four touchdown passes in relief of injured Blaine Gabbert for the Jaguars (1-9). Rookie Justin Blackmon had 236 yards receiving.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Jaguars rookie wide receiver Justin  Blackmon is over 200 yards and the Jaguars are leading the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter.

Chad Henne stepped in to replace starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert who went down after getting hit during a blitz in the first quarter.  Henne's thrown long throws to Cecil Shorts, and two scoring strikes to Marcedes Lewis.  Justin Blackmon scored on a long bomb late in the 4th quarter to put Jacksonville up by 14 points.

The Jaguars are seeking to snap a 6-game losing streak.  Jacksonville has lost its last four games against Houston.

HOUSTON, TX -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are kicking off against the Houston Texans this afternoon.

It looks like a mismatch on paper with the Texans as one of the elite teams in the NFL at 8-1. The Jaguars have the worst record in the NFL at 1-8.

The Jags will play without Maurice Jones-Drew, Greg Jones, Dwight Lowery and Rashean Mathis. Other inactives for the Jaguars are D'Anthony Smith, Steve Vallos and Jeris Pendleton.

The roof at Reliant Stadium is closed and expected to be very loud inside as these two rivals matchup.
