Indianapolis, Indiana – The Indianapolis Colts fell short in their match against the Houston Texans on Sunday night. In their first primetime game of the season, the Texans started off strong with a remarkable play.
The Colts made a valiant effort on an 11-play, 56-yard drive. However, it ultimately ended at the Texans’ 14-yard line, resulting in Indianapolis settling for a 38-yard field goal due to a delay of game penalty. Meanwhile, the Texans had an explosive one-play drive that resulted in a touchdown.
