Week 8: Texans (2-4) @ Colts (4-2)

From: Personnel Department
Injury Report:
Jerry De Loach, RDE - Sprained Knee, is now 100%
Jared Tomich, LDE - Hyperextended Knee, is now 100%
Ernest Grant, RDT - Sprained Knee, Questionable, full strength in about 4 weeks.
Chris Carter, SS - Strained Hamstring, Questionable, return to full strength unknown.

News and Notes:
"... Green Bay is unbeatable..." NFL.com
"... the Pack is back..." ESPN.com
"... De Loach and Tomich return to active duty..." - The Houston Chronicle
"... Jeff Saturday will miss Sunday... James Mungro also out..." - NFL.com

The Game:
Another hard fought game by the Texans only to fall short at the end. If Peyton Manning wasn't Peyton Manning and Jonathan Wells didn't fumble, the Texans would have won. But, as fate would have it, Wells did fumble late in the game, in field goal range on 2nd down. Then it was all Manning as he marched his team down the field with a minuet twenty left and score the winning touchdown. Dom Capers said "This one stings. We had them on the ropes".

Colts win 20-13.

Week 9: Chargers (4-4) @ Texans (2-5)

From: Personnel Department

Chad Overhauser, LT - Sprained Thumb, Probable, full strength in about 4 weeks.

News and Notes:
"...low flying Jets soar over unbeaten Pack..." -ESPN.com
"... Favre throws 4 ints in loss to the Jets..." -NFL.com
"1972 Dolphins can Celebrate!" - Miami Herald
"...David Carr not happy but understands situation..." -The Houston Chronicle
"... Covington talks about the Chargers defense and NFL int leader Keith Lyle..." - ESPN.com
"... Bears still looking for answers..." -NFL.com

The Game:
The Texans played a sloppy game offensively. Quarterback Scott Covington was bruised and bloodied. Playing the worst game of his NFL career. Still, Houston was in a position to win until Drew Brees converted a 3rd and 16 putting the Chargers into field goal range late in the 4th. San Diego converted the field goal giving them the 16 - 13 win.

Capers commenting on a question about his switch to the 4-3:
"I think what it comes don to, no matter what defense you're in, it's a matter of players going out and making plays. I think many time the scheme is overrated". -Dom Capers
