And Ward just powered in , nice start now for 10-0, much thanks to the defense.

[Nconroe]

wonder who Colts will run out at QB now?

great start Texans

[HPF Bob]

Couldn't write this much better. 17-0 with Foster safely planted on the bench. Schaub already has his INT out of the way and defense has already forced a pair of TOs.

BTW, Colts' D seems very vulnerable to the run without Sanders back there.
