Peyton destroys the Texans. Tip to Kuharsky
The Texans had the misfortune of joining the NFL just as Manning, entering his fourth season, was in full flower, having become a quarterback determined to finish his journey in Canton, Ohio. Worse, they got stuck in the same division with him, and it has been one bumpy ride, particularly when their (not-yet) rivalry makes its annual pit stop in Indianapolis.
The numbers are even worse than you think. Manning, 33, has thrown 239 passes against the Texans on his home turf. Twenty have gone for touchdowns and two have been intercepted, both of them in a game the Colts won 49-14. Also, only in their first victory in 2002 has his rating against the Texans in Indy been below 100 — not counting last season when they “held” him to 99.9.
One of his every 12 passes against Houston in first the RCA Dome and then Lucas Oil Stadium has become a touchdown.
