Official Texans @ Colts Game Thread, 12/20/2015

Back on topic to the Indy game...

O'Brien clearly believes in his defense and knows that he has little to work with offensively. Attempting that 57-yard FG demonstrates that. He had an opportunity to pin the Colts deep and instead went for the hail mary field goal knowing (a) this offense couldn't even sniff the redzone and (b) the defense could be relied upon to keep the Colts in check.

Worst case scenario for the playoffs would be to draw the Steelers with a healthy Roethlisberger. No chance the Texans keep up with that imo regardless of Hoyer/Weeden/Daniels under center. But the way the D has played (outside of a couple bad series in Buffalo) gives them a good chance to win a home playoff.
