A Painful Loss

That moment when your opponent tries to abuse the outside runs ALL game long after breaking a 76yd bounce to the outside TD on the 1st play... (29 rushes, 267yds)... it has to be pretty frustrating, to be down by 6pts in the 4th quarter, drive down to the redzone, and with 30 seconds remaining throw a needlethread pass to a WR who grabs the ball braces for a hit, leaning in for the game winning TD and "madden mechanics" makes turns it to a "tipped ball" that flies 10 yards backwards. BUT...instead of just a regular ass incomplete pass, it's considered a FUMBLE, Texans DE Clowney picks it up and outruns everyone 100 yards for the game sealing TD. THEN to rub it in more... the Texans do NOT get into victory dropping a knee...but instead, choose to do two more running plays (without chew clock) in an attempt to pad MORE stats.....

 

Final game stats,

Texans--

HB Lynch 29 rushes for 267yds 3TDs, 5 of those rushes were 20+ yard big gains bouncing to the outside.

QB Watkins 10-14 for 150 yds (6 of those 10 receptions were Playaction Bomb passes to D.Hopkins for 117yds) Defense, Texans had 3 inteceptions, 2 of them literally by players not in the area, but balls were tipped or knocked across the field to them, ONE fumble at the end of the game, recovered by Clowney for a TD.

 

Colts

HB S.Veal couldn't get past JJ Watt, and Clowney, total of 18rushing yds but 2 TD's QB Luck was 23-31 throwing for 449 yards, dicing the defense, but still not enough, registering three key dropped passes. and throwing 3 picks, two of which were passes tipped out of the WR's hands into another defenders arms.

Defense, Colts registered one interception... could not catch the elusive rollouts of Deshaun Watson, so 0 sacks, and 0 forced fumbles.

 

A painful loss to a division rival whom we SHOULD have beat... but sometimes the cards don't go your way, even when you play smart
