He was complemented by a stellar performance from Marvin Harrison Sr., who racked up 123 receiving yards, consistently finding space to exploit the Texans' secondary. Meanwhile, David Montgomery put up a commendable effort for Houston, rushing for 91 yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Coltsβ dynamic offense.
Defensively, the Colts made crucial plays that swung momentum in their favor, highlighted by Cam Taylor-Brittβs interception and four total tackles.
