As Tom Brady took a knee and killed the clock in the Texans’ loss to New England the focus quickly shifted to the game of the year – The Colts in Indianapolis.
After all, win or lose against the Patriots, Houston was going to need to beat Indy for its best possible path into the post season.
But that doesn’t take the hurt out of a 27-6 loss in a game for which the Texans had high hopes.
The defensive game plan began to pay dividends as the night wore on. It was on the offensive side of things that the Texans had the most trouble.
