Texans Redeux Redeux

It’s the film review of the second Texans game

Oh, those tricky Colts. Session fakes like he’s coming up the middle on a blitz, then speeds back into coverage and undercuts the Schaub pass to the tight end. Nothing but open space ahead. Pick six makes it 28-20, Colts. Just like that, well, just like last year, the Colts score quick in the final quarter. This time, 14 points in 15 seconds.

* Then comes McAfee’s third touchback.

* Texans dink and dunk to get across midfield, but DE Robert Mathis draws a holding penalty on his rush around the right end. It’s what I call the “Freeney hold,” with the tackle arm bar around the pass rusher’s neck from behind. Got to call that. Two plays later, Mathis is on the left side and gets the strip sack, Brock with the recovery.
