"Texans quarterback Matt Schaub was the best offensive player on the field Sunday night. He was 13-of-17 for 189 yards, two touchdowns and a 151.3 rating.

Texans defensive end Mario Williams, who had two sacks, three hurries and two tackles for loss was the best defensive player.

"He was all over the quarterback," Schaub said. "He probably could have had a few more sacks, too. He was awesome. He came up with big plays whenever we needed them."

Schaub led the AFC to the winning touchdown in the 41-34 victory. Williams was all over quarterback Tony Romo when he was intercepted by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison on the NFC's last series.

"Matt played a great game," Williams said. "He was on fire in the first quarter. We turned it up a notch in the fourth quarter, and we were able to hold on.""
