Week 16: Colts(9-5) at Texans(12-2)
Texans Win and Johnson Gets Record
Houston, TX--AP:The Texans took the against an opponent that they know they can beat, but they almost never do. This year is different though because they have a new coach who knows what he's doing. They came out and put up points quick and were leading 24-7 at halftime. They knew it wasn't over by a long shot though because the Colts have Peyton Manning.
Today, Manning wasn't the problem. The problem was the Texans receivers and offensive line. In the second half Moore was getting hit on every play and then when he didn't the wide receivers would drop the ball. It was a hard thing to watch him fight all game just to get let down, but he did it. The Texans ended up holding on for the win 30-24.
Also, Johnson got the record in receiving yards and J. Jones dislocated his shoulder.
