Quick Recap: Colts 33-Texans 27
Again, anyone who thought this was going to be a "blowout" or anything like that needs to have their head examined. The Texans are fighters, and they eyed this game as payback for the collapse they suffered back in October. The Colts needed their best offensive performance of the season to hold Houston off. Despite some shotty defense, the Colts did enough at the end to get it done. They also were able to FINALLY run the ball.
At 6-4, the Colts are now (I guess, officially) back in playoff contention. I still think this team is good enough to do some great things, and winning tough games like this reinforces this for me. Be sure to check at Battle Red Blog for Texans fans reaction. To them I say their team is very tough, and no one in the AFC South is a chump team.

Congrats, Indy Fans
As usual, you were the better team and your squad made plays when they needed to be made. And allow me to be the first person to officially congratulate you on the Sage Rosenfels signing that Polian apparently orchestrated without my knowledge last spring. Putting Sage on your payroll has paid great dividends this season.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to play in traffic while pondering anew how a professional football team can trot out the secondary the Texans do every week. Best of luck in the playoffs…again.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

As always, classy guy. Your team is good my friend, and it is moving in the right direction. I know that sounds like cold comfort now, but it is the truth.

Agreed
I think that defense is going to be scary soon.

Thanks, BBS
If we don’t go in a different direction on defense this offseason, I’m quitting life.

Four way tie
For the two wild card spots now. And it could be a five way if the Bills win tomorrow.

Where is Texans defensive coordinator Richard Smith
…for the game ball?
Sigh. You guys played a good game… truthfully, it never felt as close as the score, and it really shouldn’t have been because of all the Colt dropped passes.
Good luck going forward.
