Hours after Nick Novak’s field-goal attempt went through the uprights for the improbable 26-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts, it’s still surreal to think the Texans won that game. How? Beats me, but this squad kept fighting and competed until the zeroes... uh, I mean, the overtime kick went through the uprights. Through the fog of the night, here are my observations.
1. At some point in the fourth quarter, Marc Vandermeer threw it down to me for a quick sideline hit. I believe the Texans were down 20-9 at that point and I mentioned that this was an opportunity to see into this team’s soul.
