PrintThe Colts play 60 minutes. After the Texans raced out to a 17-0 lead in the first 20 minutes and went into the half up 20-7 they were held without another point until a garbage time score in the final 20 seconds down 15. Meanwhile the Colts O (and Clint Session) put up 4 2nd half TDs.
The Colts gained 114 yards on the ground averaging over 5 yards a carry. Peyton Manning converted over 75% of his passes with 3 TDs and 2 INTs (one when his arm was hit on the throw, another in a desperation drive at the end of the 1st half).
On D the Colts made a dramatic turnaround. After allowing back to back TDs in the first, the Colts held the Texans to back to back FGs on their next two drives. The Texans were stopped on their next 5 drives with 3 turnovers and 2 punts. The Texans only 2nd half points came in the final minute, after the game had been put out of reach.

I, for one
am rooting for the Jags.
Gotta have a reason for the Colts to keep playing these last 5 games.
They will keep playing
no matter what. The more wins the better.
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
Garçon for me
That TD started the comeback and all of his catches were pretty huge.

hate to nitpick
colts O put up three 2nd half touchdowns. Clint “the teacher” Session got the other one. :)
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
you got it wrong

I hate to leave stuff uncorrected even more than you hate to nitpick

This embarrassing choke couldn't have happened to a worse fanbase
I love to see those fucks at Battle Troll Blog suffering. They are dickheads. I hate the Texans so much.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Ok. Did the Colts just clinch a playoff spot today?
… or is it still mathematically possible to miss? No, I’m not asking for what’s likely, I’m just trying to figure out when Indy clinches.

Right. I'm seeing that now on the standings pages out there.
Jacksonville doesn’t have to lose to a divisional opponent, they just have to lose. I see that now.

at this very moment
the Colts have a > .01% chance of missing the playoffs.

Yes, I'm seeing that too.
It would take a massive collapse of historic proportions. Not going to happen unless Manning gets in a car wreck (makes superstitious gesture against devils, witches, and bad luck).

Even then,
we would probably still win the division.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: What should you do if a hot dog vendor gives you a free hot dog? Why, throw it on the ground, of course.
Unless they collapse
the colts have secured the #1 seed.

I hope
Anyone who was fretting about this game when it was 17-0 realized that it wasn’t over then and the Colts are never going to put themselves in a hole they can’t climb out of.
I’ve never been more calm during a 17-0 game in my life. That’s the calming Indy brings.

I refuse to vote.
Addai is my player of the game.

I considered Joe
but he didn’t do as much through the air as usual and no TDs
