Official Texans @ Colts Game Thread, 12/11/2016

Texans kneeling it.

Final score:

Texans 22, Colts 17

Signature ugly Texans win but I'll take it....

Helluva effort by the defense today and a pretty descent running game but why not just go with the single wing given how infrequently O'Brien employs the forward pass ?
I figured we'd lose this game by a couple TDs or more and just fold it up for the rest of the season but hey lookie here, we are still in it with 3 weeks to go
and still in 1st place.

Bitch about Ozzy the Ostrich all you want but he's the first Texans QB to beat the Colts twice in one season. Plus, the Texans now own the tiebreaker on the rest of the division.

Early line has the Texans as a 5.5 pt favorite over the Jags next Sunday.

Beat the Jags, beat the Bengals and they're in like Flint....

Edit: and Eli Manning is a goober.

Oops, actually I think that is dependent on the Titans losing one - most likely to the Chiefs next Sunday....FiveThirtyEight has the Texans at a 75% chance to make the playoffs, Titans now at 26% chance and Colts have fallen to just a 4% chance to make the playoffs.....

1 out of 5 in the red zone today. Obviously, they gotta quit turning into the Keystone Kops in the red area..... Very lucky all those FG's didn't hurt the final score....

Turnovers were key. Pressure was OK but just one sack. Without Clowney today, safe to say today might've been a loss....

Funniest play of the game has got to be Andre Hal's interception - watch Vince Wilfork trying to run downfield while Hal is zig zagging and shedding tacklers. You KNOW the big guy just wants to fall down somewhere and he finally does after Hal is tackled, right over the tackler.
