Indianapolis Colts Sweep of Texans
Peyton Manning is making the difference for Colts and in the past three games he has achieved seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
We've been expecting it all season and it finally came, the Indianapolis Colts efforts have paid in a good way, as they have overcome errors and the three in a row winning streak looks like a future play-off prediction.
As it was meant to be, it only took Peyton Manning one half of the game to decode the Houston defense and in the final two quarters he decided to wrap it up. Manning the two-time NFL MVP, led Indianapolis to wipe out the two Houston leads and gave the Colts a needed 33-27 victory this past Sunday November 16th.
Within minutes of finishing the second quarter, the Texans were praying for the game to be over, most of their players had bloody noses and black eyes just before the half time break. Many will agree with me that after a 13-1 all-time record against them, the Texans should have known better that the Indianapolis Colts is not a team to be trusted, especially with Peyton Manning who is no longer under pressure in close games and killed the myth of age over experience.
The Colts offense shined with armor, as Manning's 30 completed passes of 46 attempts contributed with the 320 yards, plus two touchdowns during second half; he was unstoppable. Peyton's rhythm was so good he even made the past performances of rookies Steve Slanton and linebacker Xavier Adibi look as if the Texans were in need of new contracts.
There seemed to be no way for the Texans to stop Peyton Manning, which was probably their main problem, to base their strategy around this single player; because if you run the ball more to avoid less interceptions, it doesn't matter Manning will be there to ruin your play.
Yes, the Texans defense was as bad as it could get in the second half, but they still had the best opportunity to win and with almost 9 minutes for the final, Ahman Green's 2 yard touchdown pulled the Texans 27 points. The team had good timing and all they had to do was take it to the 40-yard line. Unfortunately for the Texans, the game was over when Colts defender Melvin Bullitt intercepted Houston's Sage Rosenfels play, on the last minute attempt to drive.
The Houston Texans made many errors, but the one that cost them big time was that with two minutes to make a play against Peyton Manning; never ever play the "hurry-up" strategy against him, Manning has an answer for everything, especially when it comes to finishing a game.
With a 0-5 out of home this season, the Houston Texans need to start focusing on a different tactical review based on the defense, especially with 3 straight loses.
The Indianapolis Colts have had the best offensive presentations during the whole campaign that allowed them to achieve the winning streak (6-4) they have been looking. Plus Peyton Manning could finally accomplish what most QBs in the NFL dream for: trust and confidence from your defense.
