Under Kubiak, no denying turnover equation

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky

Houston's margin for error is small. Gary Kubiak and his staff have preached and preached about turnovers.

This season, they've got two games worth of evidence to prove to players the cause and effect.

The Texans have won the turnover battle twice this season, against the Bengals and at the Browns, two of their four wins. Since 2006 under head coach Gary Kubiak, the Texans have won the turnover battle 13 times. Houston is 11-2 in those games.
