Official Texans @ Steelers Game Thread, 10/20/2014

[Arky]

Short pass to Bell goes for big gainer. About 27 yards. Ball at the Texan 35.

Ben's deep pass to Bryant in the end zone is good for the TD.

Texans 13, Steelers 10

1:27 left in the half.

[Arky]

Manning muffs the ensuing kickoff and gets tackled at the Texan 5.

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

Screen to Foster only goes for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Foster loses 1. Steelers use their final timeout. 3rd and 11 coming up w/1:10 left in the half. Play is being reviewed to see if Foster fumbled.....

Play is reversed. Steelers will take over on the Texan 3 or 4 yard line. Jeeeez.......

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

[Arky]

Steelers use a half-back-like pass to put it in the end zone for the TD.

Steelers 17, Texans 13

1:03 left in the half.

Unbelievable.

Houston Texans football, gentlemen.

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff goes out of the end zone for a touchback. Texans will have the ball at their 20.

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

Man, Fitz's pass is tipped and INT'ed by Keisel. He returns it to the Texan 8 yard line. Steeler's ball.

24 points in 3 minutes. Ridiculous. And most of it's on the O.

Well, it's pretty much on everyone:

Fked up return by Manning put them in a hole.

Foster fumble.

JJo about five yards behind his man on a stupid trick play that should never work in the NFL.

Irresponsible play calling paired with a bad pass result in another turnover.

Blown coverage because of abject confusion after the Steelers offense does something radical and puts a man in motion. (Do these guys practice or just wear Go Pros and grab-ass around?)

So there's plenty of blame to go around. Like I said, Houston Texans football.

Sure am enjoying these young guys, though.

[Arky]

Pass to Brown goes to the 3. 34 seconds left in the half.

Pass to Bell in the corner of the end zone goes for the TD.

Steelers 24, Texans 13

14 seconds left in the half.

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

Well, this one is shaping up as a memorable game......

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff goes out of the end zone. Texans will take over at their 20.

Texans kneel it.

Halftime.

[Big Texas]

Lazy ass careless Arian foster fumble...didn't even attempt to pick it up after rolling on top of it...

Dumb ass Daniel manning...who shouldn't even be on the team

Then Fitzpatrick becomes Fitzpatrick...

One of the differences between the 1QTR and 2nd QTR? Steelers figured out they don't need to respect Fitz.
