Latest from the NFL: Clausen starts over Schaub for Ravens
The latest from NFL games on the 15th Sunday of the regular season (all times EST):
1:15 p.m.
Quarterback Jimmy Clausen made his second consecutive start for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, though Matt Schaub was listed as active for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Both Schaub, who has a chest injury, and Clausen, who threw for a career-high 274 yards in his Ravens debut against the Seahawks last week, warmed up about two hours before game time. But Clausen worked longer with the receivers and threw more balls, while Schaub made only a few throws and jogged.
Clausen threw his first touchdown pass with the Ravens, a 1-yarder to Kyle Juszczyk, in the first quarter.
Ryan Mallett, the former Texans quarterback who was signed by the Ravens earlier this week, was among Baltimore's inactives.

Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck started in place of Andrew Luck in a crucial AFC South game against Houston.
Hasselbeck has been battling neck, shoulder and rib injuries over the past two weeks and missed practice Wednesday. But he appeared to be throwing well during warmups and is listed as Luck's replacement for the fifth consecutive week.
Luck returned to practice on a limited basis this week but has not yet been cleared for game action as he continues to recover from a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle.
Houston had already announced backup quarterback T.J. Yates will start in place of Brian Hoyer, who is out with a concussion.
