Strong defensive game

[oldunclemark]

    I know Houston is limited offensively and not motivated..

 

..but to hold anybody without a TD builds us up..

 

Only 12 first downs /.239 yards,..2 picks.. 4 sacks

 

Our defenders played with visible confidence.

 

 

Unless injuries are serious its an uneventful day,,,,which is good once you've clinched.

helll yea he murked them today 

[krunk]

Yes it was a good performance.  I like that we are seeing improvements from Werner the last couple games or so as well.

Who had the ints for us?

Butler

  Both of them

Credit to Vontae, he cleaned up his play today and was the shutdown corner we know and love. Made Andre Johnson's night a misery.

Interesting that once our offense moved the ball again, our defense looked better.  It shows you how they go hand in hand.

Vontae and Butler played well today. Good to see no matter who it was against. Hopefully we can keep it rolling and have a good game at KC next week

And what was the biggest difference today from the last several weeks? Very good play from the #2 CB.

Very good game from the CB's and Linebackers as well. Angerers' absence must have made a difference. This team has to bring a great performance to the Chiefs game to get the NFL back to talking about the Colts as a Championship contender, because they'll have to likely go on the road this year if they expect to go far in the playoffs.

that must be our first and main goal!!!

even Werner looked good vs the Texans.. decent pressure, he tipped the ball in the first INT, good penetration on the runs, solid game with one free sack

he's been steadily improving since he came back from the foot injury.

Really liked what i've seen from Werner and Hughes both guys played well. At this point i want to see these guys start for the rest of the year. Conner played good when he was in there he needs to start as well.

I thought the defense played pretty well, but there were several occasions where the Texans were third and a mile, and we let them get the first down via a pass over the middle that was pretty un-contested.  That needs to stop NOW.  It's been a thorn in our side the whole season.

I agree.... ..Conners is way more athletic than Angerer and should start over him.
