Loss leaves Colts’ playoff hopes on life support
Their final possession ended with an interception caused by miscommunication between Hasselbeck and receiver Donte Moncrief.

The Texans have suffered some injuries recently, which will make life a little more hard for them.
The best case scenario for the Texans to make playoffs, is if they win their last two games of the season.
On the season, the Houston Texans average 249.2 yards in passing and 99.1 yards in rushing. The interesting question now becomes who will start in his place, as Matt Hasselbeck is very beat up.
“Yeah, it’s been a odd year”, Weeden said, via the Houston Chronicle.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (99) is blocked by Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore (23) in the second half at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Brian Hoyer was out and TJ Yates started the game under center, but he tore his ACL which thrusted Weeden into action. “It was a great play call, and I misinterpreted the angle on the route”.
“I’d hate to sit there and let something slip by and say, ‘Hey, I didn’t know they were going to lose two games'”. Pagano said safety Winston Guy (hamstring) and cornerback Greg Toler (hamstring) are day to day. “Unfortunately, we turned it over too many times”.
It was one of the gutsiest Texans wins ever, a 16-10 battle for survival against their nemesis. The Colts, in contrast, ran 19 times for 50 yards.
“Keep fighting”, Pagano said, explaining his message to the team Monday. Novak’s late 32-yard field goal closed it out. The offense didn’t score in the second half. If the Jaguars’ playoffs hopes are still alive in week 17, they will have to go to Houston and face a Texans team, who they lost to earlier this season.
Luck hasn’t played since Week 9 as he tries to recover from a lacerated kidney.
Against the Colts, the fourth-year signal-caller hit on 11 of his 18 attempts for 105 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown strike to rookie wideout Jaelen Strong early in the fourth quarter to give Houston the lead for good.
A Texans win and they clinch the strength of victory tiebreaker over Indianapolis (more on that below). Houston’s emergency quarterback would be punter Shane Lechler.
Yates was 6 of 10 for 68 yards with one interception.
For the Colts, it’s been a trying season with quarterback Andrew Luck sidelined.
For the Broncos and their fans, Osweiler’s second-half struggles these past two weeks has to be more concerning than his first half against Pittsburgh is encouraging.

“He’s a pro, he acts like a pro, he carries himself like a pro, he is a pro”, coach Bill O’Brien said. Weeden completed four of six passes for 44 yards and received the benefit of a 22-yard pass interference penalty on the game-winning drive.
