Quick Reads: Manning best, Garcon worst

No shock there.

They misattribute a fumble to Garcon.  Also, the Colts had at least three dropped third down passes.

Manning couldn’t tackle Arian Foster, obviously, but the one place he could have done to help was convert third downs to keep Foster off the field, and that’s where he — and his offensive line — struggled. Manning only converted four of the 12 third downs he faced, even though he only had an average of 6.5 yards to go. Of course, a fifth conversion was nullified when Pierre Garcon caught a 30-yard pass and then fumbled inside the Texans 10-yard line. By the time Manning got the ball back, he was down 17 points.
