Indianapolis Colts’ Matt Hasselbeck (8) is pushed out of bounds by… On the season, the Houston Texans usual 249.2 yards in passing & 99.1 yards in dashing.

Houston trimmed the Indianapolis lead to 10-6 with 2:42 remaining in the third quarter on Novak’s 46-yard field goal after the Colts were forced to punt from their own end zone.

If the Texans win at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, there are several scenarios that would allow them to clinch the division. However, going into the Colts game, the Texans ranked 19 with a 99.1 yards per game average. Backup quarterback, T.J. Yates tore his ACL on Sunday and was placed on IR for the rest of the season.

Pagano had no update on Luck, who has missed five straight games with a lacerated kidney and a partially torn abdominal muscle. Nevertheless, the coaching staff clearly has little-to-no confidence in Whitehurst, yanking him after four snaps in order to get what was left of Hasselbeck back on the field after he left with an injury in the fourth quarter Sunday.

“It was just a tough, tough day”, Hasselbeck said. This was the next in a long line of poor to very bad games played by the Texans tight end combo, to which I ask – what the hell did Garrett Graham (inactive for the seventh straight game) do to piss off these coaches?

Cassel has averaged 6.3 yards per attempt.

With Houston’s top two quarterbacks out, Weeden was pressed into service late in the first half, and the 32-year-old responded by giving the Texans their first win ever on the Colts’ home turf. On Sunday, there Weeden was fishing the Texans’ most important game of the season out of the fire, conveniently and ironically enough, just several hours after the Cowboys were trying to get a win with the horrific Kellen Moore at quarterback. It marked the first time in 14 games that Houston managed to beat the Colts on the road. Indianapolis drove 42 yards in seven plays after strong safety Mike Adams recovered a fumble by Houston running back Alfred Blue. Brandon Weeden finished the game, so the Titans will face either Weeden or Brian Hoyer – though Hoyer is still on the mend after suffering his second concussion of the season.
