HOUSTON -- Early in their 24-21 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the Houston Texans' defense looked every bit as dominant as it had been during a nine-game winning streak.
After four series, quarterback Andrew Luck and the Colts' offense had failed to get a first down. Though Indianapolis had put together a 12-play drive early in the second quarter, the series ended with Luck throwing an interception.
But the Colts made adjustments in the second quarter, finishing the half scoring 17 unanswered points to take a 17-7 lead into halftime, and the Texans' defense had a hard time getting off the field the remainder of the game.
