Indy Comeback

Colts brilliantly go for it and execute on three key fourth downs. Meanwhile the Texans inexplicably drop back to pass, when they should have been killing clock, resulting in a critical turnover.

In other great Indy comebacks, my wife returned from a long weekend hanging out with her sister. For which her daughter and I are extremely grateful! :)

Following are some of the key moments from the football game if anyone cares...

1st Quarter:

  • 4-1-HOU 41 (12:19) 29-J.Addai right end to HOU 35 for 6 yards (56-M.Greenwood).
IND 3 HST 0 Plays: 9 Possession: 5:18
  • 4-1-HOU 45 (4:07) 18-P.Manning pass deep left to 87-R.Wayne pushed ob at HOU 9 for 36 yards (35-J.Reeves).
IND 10 HST 0 Plays: 10 Possession: 5:22

2nd and 3rd Quarter = total domination by the Texans, which continued early in the 4th quarter with Houston having scored 27 straight points!

Late 4th Quarter:
  • 4-6-HOU 7 (4:10) (Shotgun) 18-P.Manning pass short middle to 86-T.Santi for 7 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
IND 17 HST 27 Plays: 11 Possession: 4:14
  • 3-8-IND 39 (3:54) 18-S.Rosenfels left end to IND 32 for 7 yards (79-R.Brock, 28-M.Jackson). FUMBLES (79-R.Brock), RECOVERED by IND-58-G.Brackett at IND 32. 58-G.Brackett for 68 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
IND 24 HST 27
  • 2-9-HOU 21 (2:54) 18-S.Rosenfels pass incomplete short left to 20-S.Slaton.
  • 3-9-HOU 21 (2:50) (Shotgun) 18-S.Rosenfels sacked at HOU 19 for -2 yards (98-R.Mathis). FUMBLES (98-R.Mathis), RECOVERED by IND-98-R.Mathis at HOU 20. 98-R.Mathis to HOU 20 for no gain (55-C.Myers).
  • 1-5-HOU 5 (2:00) 18-P.Manning pass short left to 87-R.Wayne for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN. The Replay Assistant challenged the runner was in bounds ruling, and the play was Upheld.
IND 31 HST 27 Plays: 2 Possession: 0:42

It was so nice of the Texans to help the Colts win that game! That QB was pretty pathetic. But I guess the colts should get a little credit. ;)

Jeff likes to boast that when I said the game was over with 6 minutes left, he said it was still possible to win. Ah yes - Mr. Positive is right again. :-)
