   Yes it surely was a monumental collapse! I didn't know that the chances are better statistically to win the lotter than for and NFL team to lose a game they're leading by 17 points with five minutes left in the game...wow.
   
   If the Colts make the playoffs they will surely look back to yesterday's game and thank the Texans again!
   
   I can laugh at the Chiefs because they're horrible lol. Their losses no longer bother me. :)

   Sage Rosenfels fumbled the ball on that play, trying to leap over two Indianapolis defenders like he was Superman. All he had to do was slide like most quarterbacks do, especially with a 10-point lead and the game nearly over. Instead, the Colts pick up the fumble and return it back for a 68-yard defensive touchdown.
   
   I didn't even agree with the bootleg play call by the head coach Gary Kubiak, because a couple of runs by the running backs ( between the tackles ) would have also won the game.
   
   Unless you have Donovan Mcnabb, David Garrard, or some type of quarterback who knows how to run and protect the football, I just wouldn't trust a quarterback to have the ball in his hands during a possible running play, which is what a bootleg basically is when there's nobody open to pass to.
   
   Maybe Sage Rosenfels thought he was Superman, also known as Clark Kent from Smallvile!

   Hey Ryan,
   
   I knew you'd take the loss hard. I was watching the Chiefs get clobbered and saw Houston had a 27-10 lead and thought to myself *wow, Payton Manning's team is going to be 1-3, just like the Texans*. I didn't know until today about the monumental
   collapse. Giving up the fourth down touchdown was bad for sure but you're right about them running out the clock with a ten point lead.
   
   Well, at least you have the comfort of knowing they have a good team but blowing two leads two weeks in a row against good teams would be very hard to take. The schedule does look favorable for awhile, though!
   
   Take care

   It's so surreal, Rick.
   
   No NFL team should lose a football game when they're leading 27-10 with only five minutes left in the game.
   
   And yet, the Houston Texans did it with ease.
   
   Many NFL experts are calling yesterday's loss by the Texans, "The greatest regular-season choke job in NFL history."
   
   And I agree... It was a choke job.
   
   You don't see that type of historical collapse happening in professional football.
   
   It happens in college and high school, but not in the NFL.
   
   A 17-point lead with five minutes left in the game is generally safe in the NFL. According to a statistical website, you have better odds of winning the lottery than an NFL team has of blowing a 17-point lead with five minutes left in the game, especially a home team!
   
   If that's true, I may win the $50 milliion jackpot later this week!
   
   The Colts owe quite a bit of gratitude to the Texans, becuase the Texans single-handily made sure the otherwise struggling Colts still have a "fighting chance" to make the playoffs this season.
   
   I'm not sure how the Texans can top yesterday's monumental collapse. Perhaps the Texans will take a 35-0 lead against the Dolphins next Sunday, only to watch the Dolphins win 42-35.
   
   I mean really, if I didn't take sports so seriously, I'd probably be having a good laugh right about now.
