The Houston Texans may have finally found a dependable running back.

Arian Foster rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown, Matt Schaub threw a TD pass to Jacoby Jones and the Texans routed the Dallas Cowboys 23-7 on Saturday night.

Foster averaged 6.1 yards on 18 carries against the Cowboys and became the first Texan to go over 100 yards rushing in a preseason game. The Texans finished with 173 yards on the ground, an encouraging sign for coach Gary Kubiak, whose team ranked 30th in rushing (92 yards per game) last season.

Foster found a huge hole and ran 18 yards on the Texans’ second series. Three plays later, Schaub fooled the Dallas defenders with a play-action fake and found Jones open in the end zone for an easy 24-yard touchdown.

Neil Rackers hit a 23-yard field goal with 9:22 left in the first half for a 10-0 lead. Rackers and Kris Brown are locked in a tight competition for the kicking job.

Brown kicked a 22-yard field goal in the final minute before halftime to make it 13-0.

Kris Brown and Neil Rackers have connected on every field goal and extra point in two preseason games.

"They're as even as they can be," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Both kicked off poorly (at New Orleans), and I think that's the thing that would end up separating one of the two. That's the way I look at it. They've got two more games to do it."

Neil Rackers kicked a 52-yard field goal at New Orleans, and Kris Brown connected from 43. They remained even in their competition to win the job.

"Field goals were good (but), I thought both of them were disappointing kicking off," coach Gary Kubiak said. "That's not good enough. I think they're both better than that."

The Saints averaged 21 yards on five kickoffs.

No confetti floated down from the Superdome ceiling this time.

But the New Orleans Saints sure showed signs of the high-powered offense that helped them win big last season in their first home game since the NFC championship.

The Saints held the football for 40 minutes, ran 75 offensive plays and rushed for 198 yards in a 38-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday night.

Drew Brees , who played for only one quarter, led New Orleans to two touchdowns - handing off to Bush for a 9-yard score and leaping over center for a 1-yard TD that put New Orleans up 14-0.

There was not much of a dropoff when Chase Daniel took over in the second quarter. The Saints outgained Houston 409 yards to 291 and had the football for 40 minutes.

Brees completed five of 10 passes for 36 yards for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Daniel worked the last three quarters and completed 15 of 21 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted once.

Houston quarterback Matt Schaub was 8 of 10 for 117 yards. Dan Orlovsky was 12 of 19 for 140 yards and a touchdown.

The Texans did little to sort out their running back situation. Arian Foster started Saturday's game, and had six carries for 28 yards and a touchdown, but lost a fumble in the second quarter.

Steve Slaton - Foster's main challenger for the starting spot - ran five times for 19 yards, Slaton also had two kick returns for 88 yards, including one for 68 yards.

The Saints ran for 198 yards, including 66 by rookie Chris Ivory.

Kris Brown has been the Texans' kicker since the franchise began. This year he's competing with Neil Rackers. Houston coach Gary Kubiak said preseason performance will settle the competition. Against the Saints, Rackers kicked a 52-yard field goal and Brown hit a 43-yarder.
