HOUSTON (AP) - Matt Schaub threw interceptions on Houston's first two possessions, but ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left, leading the Texans to a 29-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

The Dolphins (2-3) had knocked down consecutive passes in the end zone before Schaub ran for the score. The 2-point conversion failed, but Houston had enough points.

Houston (1-4) got its first win in dramatic fashion a week after blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in a 31-27 loss to the Colts.

Miami Dolphins' quarterback Chad Pennington completed 19 of 25 passes for 284 yards. Pennington tossed two touchdowns and an interception in a losing effort.

Steve Slaton couldn't get much going on the ground for Houston. The rookie out of West Virginia carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards.
