Coca Cola together 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: tastes better. This was a bizarre, wild game that ended 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: with the Texans victorious tenth win of the year, and 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: they get to the postseason. Well, the Colts were on 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: the field first, and they drove down and got a 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: field goal thirty eight yards out of Matt Gae. So 24 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: they took a three to nothing lead, and you were wondering, Okay, 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: they drove the ball well, but they only got three. 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: Texans got on the field on offense and on the 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: very first snap. 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 2: This happened. 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: First down from the Houston twenty five yard line. Devin 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Singletary in the backfield, CJ under center, with Nico Collins 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: to the wife side left.

Stroud looks it over, puts the 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: leg down. Here's the snap CJ to throw to the end. 45 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,559 Speaker 3: Zone, cut wide open, Andrew Beck touchdown. 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: Houston. Welcome back Beck. 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: That made it fourteen to three. Andrew missing last week's game, 48 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: but he catches in in this week's game, so the 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: Texans up eleven. But Indy would close the gap with 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: a fifty two yard field goal relatively late in the 51 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: first half, and we hit the brake at fourteen to six. Houston, okay, 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: Texans get the ball first. They in the drive of 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: the pass to Nico, taking it to their forty seven 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: so good start, but then they went backwards, had to 55 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,559 Speaker 1: punt to Indy and Indy. 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: Woke up eighty seven yard drive in four plays. 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor erupted, scored to the forty nine yard TV 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: run and they went for two. Got it to Moe 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: Ali Cox and it was fourteen fourteen at the time. 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 4: Uh oh. 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: Texans in a draw with the Colts. Now, Colts had 62 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: a chance to take the lead with a field goal, 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: but Matt Gay hit the upright from fifty plus. Texans 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: got the ball, drove in drive stalls Fairbarn from fifty 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: one yards out. He connected to make it seventeen fourteen, 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: so Houston ahead, but the Colts would tie the game 67 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: again thirty five yard field goal by Gay, shorter distance 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: this time seventeen seventeen. Then in the fourth quarter, Texans 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: put together the go ahead drive Dalton Schultz four catches 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: along the way. Strad was seven for seven, including a 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: bull to Nico Collins to set up a first and goal. 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: They got it down to the three after a penalty, 73 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: and this happened. Hutchinson to the right side, Singletary in 74 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: the backfield, Stroud under center, first and goal at the three, 75 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: Texans try for the go ahead touchdown motor with the 76 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: handoff motor. 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: To the right motor to the goal line and in 78 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: and the Texans are back in. 79 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Front twenty three seventeen because Fairbairn missed the extra point, 80 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: his first miss pat of the year, and that enabled 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: the Colts, if they were to score, to take the 82 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: lead with an extra point. But as they were driving, 83 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: they got it down deep. It was fourth and short. 84 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: It was gut check time. Here's what happened. As big 85 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: A players you'll have all season. Fourth and one at 86 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: the Houston fifteen Minshew and the gun Minsha to throw. 87 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: Minshew swings it out to the back, flip side, a 88 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: complete and the Texans takeover on downs with one oh 89 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: three to go in the fourth quarter. 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: What a stop, Colts can't complete it. Texans have it now. 91 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: They had to navigate their way out of the game, 92 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: killing clock. Colts had a couple of timeouts left, and 93 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: Cameron Johnston in punt formation killed seven of the eight 94 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: seconds remaining when they snapped it on fourth down, took 95 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: a voluntary safety, and then the final moments played out. 96 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: Here's Johnston to free kick with one second left. Let's 97 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: it rip downs back deep at the thirteen. He's gonna 98 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: run with it across the fifteen to twenty laterals back 99 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: to Pittman, and Pittman laterals back. 100 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 3: And the ball is loose and the Texans fall on 101 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: it and it's over. The Texans are going to the playoffs. 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: They knock off Indy twenty three to nineteen. 103 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: Back to the postseason. Tomko does it in year one. 104 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: That was phenomenal. 105 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: It took every second on the clock, but the Texans 106 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: get it done and they go to the playoffs. Texans 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: won the regular season finale last year. They win the 108 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: regular season finale this year in Indy. 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: Same thing. Not so much this year. 110 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: It's a twenty three to nineteen victory that sends the 111 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Texans to the playoffs for the first time since the 112 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: twenty nineteenth season. 113 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: CJ. 114 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: Stroud throws over four thousand yards on the campaign and 115 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: Houston ten to seven on the way to the playoffs. Dre, 116 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: let's get the pass rush report first. Here, Yeah, our 117 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: HIB sack report. 118 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 5: The Texans had one sack in today's game as part 119 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 5: of Sacks for Hunger. Actually that came by way of 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 5: Christian Harris. As part of Sacks for Hunger, HIB will 121 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 5: donate one thousand dollars to the Houston Food Bank every 122 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: time the Texans sack the quarterback. That brought the total 123 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 5: to forty six, which is a team record forty six 124 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 5: sacks on the season. 125 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: The sack attack brought to you by h. 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 5: EB, the official tailgate headquarters of the Houston Texans. 127 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Lake Cashman thirteen tackles, Christian Harris twelve tackles, and cash 128 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: Ben stopped Taylor on third and two with one ozh 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: six to play. Then the fourth down stop was amazing. 130 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: Five TFLs on the day. That's one hundred five in 131 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: the season, first place in the NFL. Now and we'll 132 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: see what happens with the rest of the weekend to 133 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: see if they can hang on to that as a team. 134 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: Defensive Mark dre And if I had told you before 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: the game that the Colts were gonna run for two 136 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven net yards and not turn it over, 137 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: what would you think. 138 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 5: That we're talking about the draft for twenty twenty four 139 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 5: in the seasons pretty much over. 140 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: And that's being quite honest with you. 141 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 5: If you run for that amount of yards and Minshew 142 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 5: doesn't turn it over a gift to you a score quickly, 143 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: then there's no way you'd have gotten me to believe 144 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 5: that the Texans were coming out of this building with 145 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 5: what you just described and a win a low with it. 146 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: And Jonathan Taylor runs for one eighty eight and a 147 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: touchdown the forty nine yarder, so it wasn't like a. 148 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: Big chunk play game. 149 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: Of most of those yards, he was steady as she goes, 150 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: plus that big average six point three yards per carry. 151 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 5: And on the most important play of the game, Indianapolis 152 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: found frank Wright because they check in somebody else and 153 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 5: try to throw him the football when all you need 154 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 5: is a yard. And I'm sure every Colts fan is 155 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 5: feeling that exact emotion right now. 156 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: Well, I'm grateful they did it. Trey and Gardner. 157 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: Minshew one hundred and forty one yards, no tds, no picks, 158 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: nothing spectacular of course. For Minshew missed on that final throw. 159 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: Well maybe Goodson could have had it, could have, would have, 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: should have, whatever the case is. But you mentioned the 161 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: one sack in two games. They only sacked Minshew once. 162 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: They didn't get him at all in the Week two 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: showdown at NRG Stadium, but the Texans come away with 164 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: a twenty three to seventeen win. Dines in large part 165 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: to the Colts being one for eleven on third down, 166 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: So the d came up with some key stops when 167 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: it mattered most. Let's go down to the locker room 168 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: next and find out who Johnny Harris is catching up with. 169 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: Following this playoff earning victory for the Houston Texans twenty 170 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: three to nineteen. Texans killed the clock on the free 171 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: kick as they shut off the Wi Fi in our 172 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: booth because I think they're ready for us to leave 173 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: now after celebrating in Indy a playoff earning victory twenty 174 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: three to nineteen over the Colts. As the Texans go 175 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: ten to seven in the regular season and look forward 176 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to making the playoffs. They've done it, but how do 177 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: they do it? They've never been a wild card before 178 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and they are still alive for the division.

Stroud with a second overall 196 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 5: pick and then trade right back before you know, time 197 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 5: elapsed or whatever was necessary to get Will Anderson Junior 198 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: with the third overall pick. And I don't know that 199 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: i've seen that happen, so that the excitement started.
