Colts fans openly rooting for a Texans beatdown if it means Ballard and Steichen clean out their offices.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Two early gifts — G.Pratt's interception in the end zone and S.Ebukam falling on a J.Meyers fumble — and Indianapolis still found a way, because a P.Rivers pick to J.Jones and a J.Hines-Allen sack on the next drive turned a one-score fourth quarter into a C.Little field goal and a loss. Another second-half lead surrendered, another winnable game filed away, and Houston waiting next week to make it hurt more.
What fans said
“I hope the Texans dog walk us next week.”

“Lost in all this: we blew another game in which we had a second half lead and then had a chance to take the lead in the driver’s seat in the fourth. Loser Colture.”
