Foster for 3. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Foster for 1. Texans have to punt. Less than a minute left in the game.

Timeout Texans with 33 seconds left in the game.

Glad Decker had a brain fart.

Whew, Texans 3-0 , great start. Very good , exciting game today.

Looks like Pittsburgh is gonna loose, and Chuck will win. Congrats.

Pretty decent showing. DL and LBs were good. DBs were pretty bad. Broke up plays yeah, but should have picked like 7 balls off.

Horrendous PI call gifted them their last TD. I'll take holding Peyton's O to 3 FGs and a TD. I'll take that all week.

I thought this might have been the best I've seen our secondary play. They may have dropped a few INTs but they had eyes in the backfield all day and were running the Broncos WR's routes for them.

Also, those are the wrong set of WRs for Manning. They are big athletes, but they are absolutely not precision guys. I can't count how many times Manning threw a ball and a guy was in the wrong place/ball was in the wrong place. You need to surround Manning with some route runners. These guys stink in the intermediate range and Manning has no ability on the deep ball anymore.

And yes that PI was truly bad.

Absolutely. All game long I kept finding myself very surprised at their size and the fact that their routes were sort of brutish. It's like they never used to go home and watch the Colts play their numerous night games to know what Manning's all about. We obviously have an unfortunate familiarity with that neck but then again no one pays me to play football. I certainly am glad Manning doesn't have a Steve Smith.

And either the Patriots or the Ravens is going to start 1-2 so either way I'm happy.

Maybe our DBs will do a few pass catching drills this week.

I thought they played well today.

Decker fields the punt and returns it to the 14 yard line of the Broncos.

---------------------------

Pass to Decker complete to the 30.

Manning spikes it with 3 seconds left.

Pass is complete, Broncos try to lateral but goes nowhere..... Game Over.....

Final Score:

Texans 30, Broncos 24

Texans 3-0 for the first time ever and last remaining undefeated team in the AFC...
