INDIANAPOLIS - The Colts coaching staff is thankful they had an easy game against Jacksonville last week, and it was at home, because they faced a short turnaround and a visit from Houston this week. A win tonight would be a great boost heading into a Week 8 BYE, but they would have to face the Texans first.
As it turned out, the Texans had about as much fight in them as the Jaguars. To be fair, they lost Matt Flynn in the first quarter after a crushing sack by Donavon Browning. Ryan Fitzpatrick came in for Flynn, but he was a serious downgrade and struggled to do anything through the air.
Hilton caught 15 of Luck's 30 completions.
Andrew Luck had a poor game, barely passing the 200 yard mark and throwing a pick, but the Colts running game let him off the hook. Trent Richardson had huge holes to run through and made it look easy against one of the best fronts in the NFL.
One of the biggest reasons for Indianapolis' easy win were all of the Texans mistakes. Andrew Johnson fumbled a ball on their own 23 to give the Colts a short field, and a 3rd quarter safety didn't help either. The Colts went into the 2nd half up only 17-3, but with the Texans struggling to do anything it was more than enough to walk away 6-1. The Colts head into their BYE week looking at another home game, this time against Buffalo, before a Week 6 rematch in Houston.
