Why we won’t win

A look at what could derail the Colts. tip to Kuharsky

5. THE HOUSTON TEXANS

-The Texans have quickly become that annoying, blood sucking, flea on the pages of Colts fans’ NFL preview magazines for the past couple years. None of that has materialized into the Texans knocking the Colts from their AFC South perch but recent seasons have shown that Houston is close…really close.

Last season Houston gave the Colts just about everything they could handle in two losses by a combined 11 points. In fact the Texans were without stud Owen Daniels in both games, and the Colts were a 35-3 run and a Kris Brown field goal from possibly getting swept by Houston. The two teams play each other twice before the halfway mark this season and the week one matchup has to be a major training camp motivation tool for the Texans. Maybe, just maybe this is the breakout year for a franchise that has never made the playoffs. They remind me of that same Arizona team from two years ago
