The AFC South showdown in Houston was a competitive, back and forth game. We would not expect anything less in a battle for the division, but if you’re an Indianapolis Colts fan, you walk away somewhat disappointed in their 20-17 loss against the Texans.
One player that gave it all he had was running back Jonathan Williams. Williams was elevated to the 53-man roster last week against Jacksonville where he totaled 116 yards on 13 carries in relief of the injured Marlon Mack.
On Thursday night, Williams had another dominating performance with 26 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown. His second straight 100-yard performance helped the Colts eventually get the run game going after a slow start.
His touchdown came in the third quarter when he ran into a wall of linemen and bounced it outside for the 13-yard touchdown.
Hopefully, Williams and Co. can take the long week to regroup as they return home to face the Tennessee Titans. The Colts have to view this as a must-win to keep pace with Houston for the division down the stretch of the regular season.
