Gary Kubiak: 'Case Keenum is still learning'

Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has admitted that quarterback Case Keenum is still getting accustomed to life as a starter in the NFL.

Keenum replaced Matt Schaub in week seven and had an excellent start to his career, throwing seven touchdowns to zero interceptions in his first three games, but in his past two matches he has thrown for just one score and has been picked off twice.

"It's part of a growth process for him," Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle. "As coaches, you try to do everything you can to put him in a successful situation.

"He's done a lot of good things, had some early success. The last couple of weeks have been a little tougher."

The Texans are 2-9 in their season following their defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
