The Colts set an NFL record by coming back in the fourth quarter for the fifth straight week in their 35-27 victory over the Texans.
Seconds after the Colts took a 21-20 lead in the final quarter, LB Clint Session took an interception 26 yards to extend the lead to eight points.
On the next Texans drive, Colts DE Robert Mathis stripped Texans QB Matt Schaub and DT Raheem Brock recovered the fumble.
Colts QB Peyton Manning felt the Texans were celebrating too much after CB Dunta Robinson walloped RB Joseph Addai in the fourth quarter, so he hurried the team to the line and hit WR Austin Collie for a 31-yard gain.
The Colts ran for 114 yards on 22 carries, providing some needed balance to their offense.
Said Texans WR Andre Johnson, “In the first half everybody was making plays. Then the second half was
a totally different story. I think it was about our execution. [The
Colts] really didn’t change anything.”
The Texans were penalized for a franchise-record 129 yards, including two 15-yarders on DE Antonio Smith.
Although they scored on their first four possessions, several Texans players lamented the fact that the team only came away with field goals on two of those drives.
Don Banks of SI.com thinks that Sunday’s game should be enough for Texans owner Bob McNair to say goodbye to coach Gary Kubiak.
Texans CB Jacques Reeves took issue with a pass interference call that helped set up the first Colts score of the second half.
