Texans' Nick Novak hits game-winner after missed extra point
With a crisp swing of his right foot, Texans kicker Nick Novak knocked in a game-winning field goal during an overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Although it was a relatively routine 33-yard field goal Sunday night to beat the Colts, a chip shot for the veteran kicker, it didn't feel that way for Novak. It was a huge kick in an emotional win to give the Texans (4-2) a commanding early lead in the AFC South division.
The field goal followed a missed extra point wide right by Novak in the third quarter that could have proven costly for the Texans, but he made up for his mistake.
