HOUSTON
The Texans' defense mostly had its way with Indianapolis and
continued its progress from last season in a 34-24 victory on
Sunday. The Colts converted only two third downs and mustered 10
points through three quarters. It was a rare off day for them
against Houston, a team they had beaten in 15 of the 16 previous
meetings.
The Texans (1-0) play at Washington (1-0) this week. Houston is
riding a five-game winning streak dating to last season, and the
improvement of the defense is a big reason why.
Safety Bernard Pollard says the Texans' defense wanted to make a
statement in the opener. Defensive end Mario Williams says the key
for Houston now is consistently playing at that level every week.
