***Indianapolis at Houston*** (+7) (45.5) (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Should be the most watched game of the day in the Shark Pool with Pierce starting for Houston and on everyone's Sunday DraftKings tickets

Go!

 

[Rubi]

Colts pummeled Texans twice last year with less of a qb,but Colts are 0 for a decade in openers. Texans have some offensive weapons. But Colts have a better team:

Colts- 34
Texans- 23

 

[GregR]

Mills has been a little inaccurate. Texans defensive line playing pretty well most of the time. But Colts finding some openings for some bigger plays. Mills looking better the final two drives. Damien Pierce and Burkhead alternating series kind of. Jerry Hughes a breath of fresh air for Texans fans. Texans in Zone a lot so Stingley hasn't been a very big factor. Did have a nice play forcing a run back inside right to the linebacker

 

[GregR]

Pierce had a run that was basically no gain but he completely fought through a linebacker who had him dead to rights. but then someone else came in and cleaned them up before he could get turned back around.

 

[GregR]

Colts got down into the red zone but went for it on fourth down from about the two and got stopped in the first half

 

[modogg]

it is funny how much the Colts PR machine was blaming everything on Wentz last year. an NFL owner calling him out in the media a few times, have to say i am not sad to see them losing

 

[-OZ-]

I’m going to have a strong love / hate relationship with OJ if he can turn into the player I expected now.

 

[GregR]

Flea Flicker to Cook's for about 50 yards

 

[GregR]

Good or bad call on the penalty on Pitre?

 

[GregR]

Matt Ryan fumbles the snap on 3rd down and short Texans recover

 

[GregR]

15 yard gain and Mills got roughed on the play 15 more

 

[GregR]

OJ Howard second touchdown

 

[GregR]

Matt Ryan throws deep but Nelson had good coverage keeps the reception from being made

 

[GregR]

Matt Ryan fumbles on second down gets the ball and throws it practically from the ground for an incompletion. Texans hold on third down Colts punt. Downed at 1yd line

 

[Long Ball Larry]

The colts are really … somethjnf

 

[lakerstan]

Indy was 0-8 for week 1 the last 8 years.

 

[GregR]

Texans have used a lot of I formation and offset I

 

[GregR]

4th and five Texans punt. Colts run into the kicker first down for texans.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Lolts

 

[GregR]

Pierce is in the series. Ran on first down. Went out on a route on second then. Third down Driscoll came in and picked it up running.

 

[GregR]

Call pass interference out to near midfield. Then pierce with a run stop the line. Then Pierce on a route for 5- yard gain

 

[Ministry of Pain]

If the Colts lose this afternoon...

-I hold out little hope when you can't beat a potential expansion team, look at the skillset of the Houston Texans and the Colts are not just struggling, they are flat out getting whooped right now.

It's almost a fireable offense for the Indy HC and doesn't bode well for the veteran QB.

 

[GregR]

Rex in for two plays. Targeted on both one catch. End of the Third

 

[Ministry of Pain]

20-3, didn't even realize how far behind the Colts are.

-Pierce must be killing it this afternoon

 

[GregR]

Texans try to draw off sides then punt. Ryan nearly throws a pick. Then 3 completions all for 1st dns

 

[GregR]

Colts March easily into Red Zone nearly interception on First. Incomp.on.second. Derek Stingley pass defense on 3rd and goal to prevent a touchdown

 

[GregR]

Colts field goal. Score is 20 to 6

 

[GregR]

20-3, didn't even realize how far behind the Colts are.

-Pierce must be killing it this afternoon

Texans 60 yards rushing I'm guessing probably half of it Pierce. Most of it's been passing for Houston

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Props to Houston and their coaching staff

Nothing else to say honestly

 

[GregR]

Pierce four 4 yards on first down. Rex on 2nd. Mills sacked on it and fumbles colts recovered at the 20

 

[GregR]

Replay in Stadium showed he was down had the ball when elbow hit but they didn't overturn it

 

[GregR]

Jonathan Taylor touchdown

 

[Ministry of Pain]

If the Colts can cut it to a 1-score game...just saying

 

[IHEARTFF]

There’s the Texans

 

[GregR]

Rex gets one run. Pierce gets two runs. Rex gets one more. Third and long. After having picked up a first down earlier

 

[GregR]

Mills overthrows but Texans had an illegal shift anyway. Texans to punt

Kik off bouncers near the one and goes out of bounds Texans start at the 40 yard line

Got home, saw it was 20-6 and was surprised. Changed and came back and I see it’s 20-20. That’s more like my Texans
