Offense sputters as Texans blow chance to pass Patriots for No. 2 seed

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans still have plenty of breathing room in the AFC South after their 24-21 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but the team showed that they need to improve on offense if they want to do more than just win the division.

"We didn't play well as an offense," Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said. "We were never able to get into a rhythm. Our first down offense was terrible. I mean, it was awful."

Although Houston scored 21 points, the offense wasn't consistent, failing to move the ball well on the ground and going just 5-of-15 on third down.
