The Houston Texans got their first win Sunday over the Indianapolis Colts in a nail-biter, defeating the host Colts 37-34 in overtime. This was a statement win that proved many analysts wrong, including the experts in Las Vegas who had the Colts as a one-point favorite entering the game.
The Texans played strong defense and offense against a resilient Colts team, led by a vintage Andrew Luck. Deshaun Watson and the Houston receivers were both in tempo, proving preseason predictions correct, while gaining a win along the way.
Additionally, J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney played lights out, pressuring Luck and the Colts running backs all game long.
