Year in and year out, the Indianapolis Colts are one of the best teams in the National Football League. This is due in large part to the personnel that is there, including Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai, Reggie Wayne, Bob Sanders, and an awesome offensive line. In the past, they have started off on fire and even flirted with an undefeated season late into December.
2010 is not going to be one of those years though as the Colts fell victim to a Houston Texans team that had something to prove. Indianapolis is sure to still have a great year and be a playoff team, but thanks to Houston they won't be starting the year off up at the top.
The Texans had beaten the Colts just one time out of the 16 times the two teams have met. The Texans feature quarterback Matt Schaub who in 2009 led the entire NFL in passing. That is not how they beat the Colts though as the offensive star of the game was unheralded running back Arian Foster. Foster gained 231 yards in the game all by himself as the Texans wore down the Colts defense over the course of the Sunday morning game.
The Colts will rebound, Peyton Manning will see to that. They will once again rise to the top of the division, conference, and maybe even the top of the whole league. The Texans though have served notice that though they may still be the new team on the block, they have come to play in 2010.
