    Arian Foster ran for two touchdowns and Ben Tate rushed for 95 yards and another score in the first half of the Texans' 27-14 win over the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night.

    Foster, the NFL's leading rusher in 2010, started after missing Houston's preseason opener against the New York Jets with a sore hamstring. He had TD runs of 2 and 28 yards in the first quarter.

    Tate, a second-round pick in 2010, was seeing his first game action since breaking his ankle in the first preseason game last year and going on injured reserve. He had a 4-yard touchdown and gained 43 yards on another run in the second quarter.

    Matt Schaub completed 12 of 16 passes for 163 yards and Andre Johnson caught four passes for 100 yards for Houston (2-0). Johnson also made his first preseason start after skipping the opener to protect a dislocated left index finger.

    Drew Brees went 7 for 14 for 109 yards in a little more than quarter of action for the Saints (1-1). Chase Daniel threw a long TD pass to rookie Joseph Morgan and 2011 first-round pick Mark Ingram had a touchdown run in the first half for New Orleans.
