Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson has played down a sideline spat with quarterback Matt Schaub during yesterday's match against the Oakland Raiders.

Johnson stormed into the locker room having been pushed away by Schaub following an argument relating to an incomplete pass into the end zone on the final play of the Texans' 28-23 loss.

The six-time Pro Bowler admitted that he was frustrated with the incident, but insisted that he and Schaub had since spoken about it and cleared up any hard feelings there may have been.

"You can see the frustration on his face, frustration on my face. I'm not worried about that. I think you all are making a big deal about it," Johnson told reporters.

"We talked about it, it's over with. I mean, me and Matt are fine. I have no problems with Matt. We played a lot of football together. Me and Matt have a good relationship."

The defeat was the Texans' eighth consecutive loss of the season, leaving them third in the AFC South above only the Jacksonville Jaguars.
