Well, too bad we gave up 14 pts in 2 min at end of first half but as an excuse that was mostly second and third or fourth string Texan defenders. Swearinger is gonna have to learn to avoid some of these fouls.

Keenum and offense had a nice drive till stalled on 5 yard line for a FG to start second half. .

Nice tip by LB and interception by Pleasant to start 4th quarter.

And Texans go three and out. This thiird and 4th string OL not protecting Keenum very much.

Woohoo! Savage to Labhart for the 2-point conversion = good!

Texans 18, Broncos 17

If they don't keep this Labhart guy, I'm going to be pissed....

Nice pass Savage to Labhart for two. Sweet!

59 second to go.

Nconroe · #8 08-23-2014, 11:02 PM

How about that. Nice to get the fake game win.

Savage looked pretty good, 5-6 and 69 yds that last drive. Encouraging to see.

Final Score:

Texans 18, Broncos 17.

I smell Superbowl....

(Or maybe it's that leftover pizza.......)

This was the most confusing, least projectable third preseason game I have ever seen. So many of our guys were out or limited that it's impossible to know what any of this means. Maybe it means that the fourth game will be a lot more interesting than it usually is.

Savage obviously was impressive. And as much as I hate to offend Bob I hope that DJ takes the head off of that molasses mouthed redneck the next time the two meet. If someone else does the honors beforehand, great. I didn't used to hate that guy but I find myself trending in that direction now.
