Official Texans @ Colts Game Thread, 12/22/2011
 

Time to shine in front of a "national" audience.

Obviously the Texans need to keep winning to help their cause for the playoffs, but getting a win here is probably more important to their psyche than anything else. Lose and it could get ugly.

Everyone in the NFL is watching. I want our guys to put on a show, especially on defense, to let everybody know that Indy isn't giving us the division, we're taking it.

OD will play. Inactive:

QB Jeff Garcia
WR Andre Johnson
