- I was wrong about the Colts shredding the Texans pass defense, as the Colts had their worst ANPY/A showing of the season, finishing 18th this week. I didn’t think I’d see a game this year where the Colts’ opponent would be better in this category, but it happened this week. This is a good candidate for why the Colts had to fight tooth and nail to win.
- The Texans defense came into the game best in the league in First Downs/Drive and Three & Outs/Game, but that didn’t matter this week, as the Colts offense had quite a few long, sustaining drives.
- The Colts defense was worst in the league this week in Third/Fourth Down Conversions, as the Texans converted almost 65% of them. They flashed a stat at one point that the Texans were converting 3rd and 10+ yards at 20% this year…the Texans converted the next 2 of 10+ yards. Unacceptable.
- The Run defense was fantastic once again. Top 5 in both rushing categories. Great job by the D-Line and LBs.
- Overall it was a run of the mill, above average game for the Colts, both for the week and for the season.
