FOXBORO -- Sure, the Houston Texans are 11-1, but Matt Schaub has never won in New England.
That's because he's never played here.
In fact, it's the only NFL city he's never played in. That will all change on Monday night.
As an NFL quarterback, Schaub will be the first one to tell you that he's played in front of many hostile environments before. That he's played in new stadiums on the road. And that he's thrived in some of those places.
But there are still a few things he'll need to do before Monday night's game in a new environment.
"When you go somewhere new, you get out there and you want to just check out how the field is and throw the ball around with your guys, just getting a feel for the depth and just for where everything is," said Schaub in a conference call on Thursday. "Where they play clock is, where the game clock is. Just get a feel for your surroundings and everything like that.
"But then as far as football, once the game starts, its just playing the game between the lines. We play in some hostile, tough places, so this wont be any different for us. But, definitely take a little bit of time to recognize where everything is on the field."
