HOUSTON - After taking a beating in Indianapolis the Texans were ready for revenge, a win tonight would have pulled them a single game back of the red hot Colts, but they just weren't ready for the task. Things looked good at the start, but the Colts showed why they have been so good in the long run.
Prince Amukamara was an INT machine against Matt Flynn.
Houston opened up the game with a surprising 50 yard TD pass to Andre Johnson thanks to busted coverage. The Colts had spotted them a TD early, but luckily for Indianapolis they had Andrew Luck and the Texans were starting Matt Flynn. Coach O'Brien seemed to have come prepared for Luck, as the Texans held him to short passes and only one TD, but their vaunted defensive front didn't have an answer for Trent Richardson.
The Colts kept scoring touchdowns where the Texans were hitting fieldgoals, but as the 4th quarter played out it would be turnovers that would doom Houston. Flynn was fairly efficient, going 22/30, but three of his eight incompletions found Prince Amukamara. Two of Amukamara's INT came in the 4th quarter and both of them turned into Indianapolis scores.
Going 2-0 against Houston has probably locked up the division, and the Colts couldn't have an easier run to the end of the regular season. There are only two teams left on the schedule with a winning record (Tampa Bay and New Orleans), and one of them is a home game. The Colts are no longer playing for a playoff spot, they are looking at the #1 seed.
