Houston @ Indianapolis
Seriously, this is the best the NFL network could come up with? I hope they strongly consider flex scheduling next year because of this kind of ugliness. The Texans clinched the AFC South two weeks ago, and then summarily laid a fat egg last week against the Carolina Panthers, at home no less. The Colts on the other hand decided they can still get Andrew Luck plus win a game to avoid being mentioned in the same breath as the 2008 Detroit Lions, shocking the world by thoroughly dominating the Titans to get their first win last week. This is another game that the Colts could win, apparently, as the Texans looked like a team ready to mail in the rest of the season judging by their awful showing against a Panthers team that isn’t that good.
After three weeks of looking pretty competent, TJ Yates went back to more of what we expected from a third string rookie quarterback, as he looked pretty bad against an unimpressive Panthers defense. Of course, Yates...

Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak said he is sticking with rookie quarterback T.J. Yates as his starter.
The Texans (10-5), who have already wrapped up the AFC South Division title, have dropped back-to-back games, including a last-minute 19-16 loss at Indianapolis on Thursday night.

T.J. Yates needs to get back on his horse
Hey guys, sorry for the absence, first of all. When I started up school, I didn’t know it was going to be that hard to juggle school, work and some personal issues I’ve had over the past couple of months. Through all of that, I knew there was no way I could keep up the pace and we had started to lag in terms of consistent article output...

As we start Week 16 of the NFL season, we now get the final Thursday night game of the regular season with the Houston Texans visiting the Indianapolis Colts. This really should not be much of a game with the high powered rushing attack of the Houston Texans likely to run over the porous run defense of the Indianapolis Colts this evening.
Yes, the Colts logged their...

Kubiak asking for more from offense
Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that T.J. Yates will continue as the team's starting quarterback, although the coach acknowledged that there is plenty of work to do on the offensive side of the ball if his team is to be playoff-ready. And Kubiak also expressed concern that, in back to back weeks, the defense has struggled in the fourth quarter.

My poor, poor T.J. Yates. Apparently there is a Take it to the Bank curse. Anyway, the season is literally in the home stretch with 11 of 12 the playoff spots possibly being decided this weekend. We had quite the head-turning Week 16 and the spoilers could be out in full force as the Colts proved...

T.J. Yates will try to bounce back after a poor outing last week. But it won't be easy. The Colts are playing better, and though they have nothing to play for, I'm suggesting theyll make it two straight.

Houston -7 @ Indianapolis
The Colts got their win to avoid the imperfect season and have no reason to play hard and screw up their draft position. Even if they wanted to, I’m not so sure they’d have a chance anyway. Houston has a top defense and T.J. Yates’ poor performance...
